Hi guys, in the last couple of days Oscar has started doing this really loud tweet. Usually right into my ear when he's on my shoulder! Its not his usual sound - do you think he's doing it for attention?

that is usually the calling sound I think you are hearing yes?

Terri has a variey of sounds on her website that she downloaded at www.budgietalk.com.

 

Do you think he hears other birds outside that he may be calling to?

ah cool ill give them a listen. He does do it sometimes with the birds but most of the time its not because of that. He's a rascal!

 

edit: yeah i think it is a calling one - it sounded like the second one on terri's webpage. He seems to be doing it to me and my mum. He does hate it when we are in a different room.

Haha yeah one of mine has a habit of doing it right next to my ear. Kinda hurts (Laughing out loud)!

Hurts even more when an Indian Ringneck does it right next to your ear!

did you ever figure it out Cheeky?

yeah i think its him calling to us - i listened to Terris recording. I've been watching him and he seems to be doing it when someone goes out the room!

yep he loves you

yep he loves you

 

:budgiedance:

Sounds like he's trying to keep his flock together. He thinks it's safer that way. He sure does love you.

aww that is so cute! Yeah i think he does love me - i was away for the weekend and my mum says he was really quiet - when i came back he was full of beans! :budgiedance:

Aw. He really does love you. Never heard of a budgie doing that before but still the same.

My budgie does loud noises when he talks to birds outside,

mainly galas.

One time i was gone for two weeks and as my family was

scared to pat him he missed me dearly.

My sister said that he looked sad so she put up a photo of me and

she said he started to chirp again!

aw that is so cute!
