He seems to like doing this high pitch squawking noise alot? It drives me insane after a while because its so loud and high pitched.Is that what budgies just like to do? He has 2 other brothers and has plenty of toys so I dont think hes bored? The other boys are quite tame compared to him. Link to comment

He may be really uncomfortable in his environment and need a change, or there may be something medical that is causing him pain and discomfort. I would say get him to an avian vet and have him checked over. Link to comment

He chirps alot and bobs his head so its not a health issue I believe. Its hard to describle the noise. Maybe I could post a link of a bird I saw on youtube doing the same noise? The noise im talking about is about 44seconds into the video. Link to comment

As you said, budgies are very social birds. Each budgie will react to sounds or birds chirping from outside differently. Some budgies being more vocal than others. Link to comment

Undesirable behavior and it can get worse the best thing you can do is ignore it or if it is really bad cover the cage and then uncover once he has calmed down. Sometimes I have to do that with Merlin but he isn't too bad. Link to comment
