Hey everyone! I have a more recent version of this video that covers some other common conure sounds and behaviours here : ua-cam.com/video/ovfYDqrzw_I/v-deo.html
I've just gotten a 6 weeks old dusky head conure... so I'm learning as much as possible to understand it. Thank you so much for an informative clip; it surely will help a lot of 1st timers
Conures, as well as other parrots, are extremely smart creatures. They are obviously social as the video points out and require a certain amount of bonding. Owning a bird is a great responsibility and training isn't a quick endeavor. They have to have the right diet, exercise, interaction, and medical care. So many people buy these magnificent creatures for all the wrong reasons and the bird's fate can end up being tragic. I'm glad to see that someone appreciates their beauty and intelligence. Thank you, David.
Hey there, Thanks for the kind comment! I totally agree, both me and Sophie try our best to produce lots of educational content to help people out with how to look after them!
There’s this low pitched grumbling sound almost every conure I’ve known has made, it’s usually when they have an attitude or they’re a little angry. I call it conure cursing. For some odd reason my quaker does those sounds too and I’ve never seen a quaker so it, and he doesn’t live with conures
Definitely a common conure sound! They make it for so many different reasons though. We usually call it grumbling or fussing ! I think I talked a bit more about it in my latest conure sound video! Interesting your Quaker makes it too!
this has been so incredibly helpful - thankyou !!! my partner & i already have four birds (indian ringneck, two cockatiels, and english budgie), so we thought we had a firm grasp on diff bird chirps & signs, but we just rescued our first conure a few days ago there’s learning curve for sure lol - esp since he’s roughly 3 months old & is still in his baby cry stage - but this was so informative and put us at ease! heading over to watch the updated version now; appreciate all that you do for birds & us bird lovers
Im adopting a male Conure,probably arriving tomorrow and really enjoyed this video,gave me good information .Ive had an Indian Ring neck and budgies over the years but this is my first Conure and Im so looking forward to having him.Thx for this video and Ive subscribed,as no doubt there are more useful clips for me to watch.Your birds are beautiful :)
Thank you for the kind words! Conures can be absolutely amazing parrots to have in the flock! I do have lots more videos on the channel including more behaviour and general guides!
Just got my first conure and this video was great for clarifying! A lot of the noises and body language you can intuitively pick up on but there was some great information. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏
Hey there! Glad it was useful! I have a few more videos on conure behaviour on my channel (it has its own playlist now lol) if you want to learn more. That's very true. Just being observant can tell us so much about what our conures mood is like.
This is a wonderful compilation of their noises! I have a 7 year old Greencheek named Rupert. Sadly, he was abused prior to me getting him in 2017, so some of his noises are a little different to your flocks'. His contact call is kind of a multipurpose one. Sometimes he just wants someone in the room with him, and sometimes he's just really excited, and wants to tell the whole world about it (while holding a pepper or other piece of food in his foot!). The best way I can describe it, is "bajaaaaaaant!". It's one of his loudest vocalizations. His alarm call is very much like Scampi's, and sometimes can be accompanied by the "brrrrr" noise that you call growling. I usually associate it with him being scared, because his body usually flattens, and he may take off flying, if he's scared enough. He also has another very wild sound, that I discern as major distress, and that's his "rap-ba-bap!" call. Rupert is a night owl, and would much rather stay up really late, and fall asleep on a human's lap. One time, after being tucked in his sleep cage for the night, he started sounding off that distress call, and I really did think he was in mortal danger, and I rushed in to see what was wrong. He was fine! He was just protesting bed time. But, since I reacted the way I did, he's learned that he will be uncovered if he "cries wolf" and sounds like he's in dire trouble. Like Scampi, Rupert also gets pretty worked up over jingly balls, so we do have to be careful there. Rupert has never done the anxious peep, but instead uses the "brrrrrreee" in a trill (it's a more extended version of his scared noise), as if to say "don't leave!" Rupert only squeals when we "wrestle". He leaps on to a towel over my hands (like a bird-sized trampoline) and he squeals with delight. It's one of the exercises I started doing with him, to help him loosen up and learn to play. He still has some remnant fears from his past that we're working on. As far as acquired noises, he is actually very clear! He can say "watcha want?", "what are you doin'?", or sometimes he mashes those up in to "what doin' do?". He can also bark very quietly (we don't have a dog, and there's no TV in the room, so we have no idea where that one came from!), and he can't whistle, but he tries really hard to mimic his flockmate's (Sherbet is a Peachfaced Lovebird) wolf whistle, by simply saying "wee-a-weet!". We're not certain, but he also has one sound, that sounds like he says "Ru-errr" sometimes... maybe as an attempt at his name? He also slurps. I would make those sounds to encourage him to try new foods (while pretending to eat those foods myself), and ever since then, he uses it whenever he wants a bite of whatever you've got in your hands. You have to make sure it's something he can actually have, because as you probably know, they are really good at guilt-tripping humans.
They certainly can be very good at training and guilt tripping us lol They know how to get their way! It is also true that they have their own unique vocalisations dependant on experience! There are common ones but they tend to vary! Which I think is awesome! Sounds like a real pair of characters!
You didn't go over the stress quack!! It's my favorite noise, even though it means the bird is upset. It's just the funniest sound though! My conure would do it every so often for the first few days that we had her and eventually stopped after getting used to our house!
My conure when defiant, the male, will always move his head from left to right, hissing. I wonder for months when it came from until I realized he was actually considering the sponge on the table a "rival", showing is territory. So everytime we are cleaning up the table, he shows the cage is their own my doing this. So know, he also uses this to show to people that his cage is his own or that an item or even the chair belongs to him . It's impressive how they tend to memorize their own codes. By sister bred them, she is her a conure breeder, and the ones at my place clearly developed element of language and communication specific to them. These birds are really amazing. I like your videos they help me understand some things better and also to correct my mistakes!
Hey Nicolas, I'm glad the videos are useful! They certainly are amazing creatures and they do indeed have their own form of simple language and communication. Conures have loads of vocalisations!
I just love all of this information (also on your other videos). My pineapple is a little girl that will be 7 in July. Have her since she was a baby. She sans "baby" and all sorts of giberish that I do not yet compréhension. She un rôles toilet paper, pushes everything from tables, counters on the floor (coffee cups, water glasses, tv control, my cell, etc). When I do dises she eats the soap, take a bath in a pan on the stove for pasta, takes a bath in the dog or cat's bowl, dives into my peanut butter or jam jar all you see is a tail popping out, she hides in the cupboard, once found her in the fridge (she was there just a few seconds), she likes to terrorize my other birds. I can go on and on. I have to watch her all the time. But she's a cuddle ball and looks at you with these loving eyes like to say "I love you mum". She's like a teenager with TDHD. In three words "She's lovable". With this ball of feathers, you definitely are not bored.
Thank you Michelle! They are definitely little terrors. I can remember a time when we wouldn't have even considered conures over other parrots...now we have 3 lol
My moms conure mimics my cough. And when he wants out of the cage he say pineapple, right here , look at me. It’s not perfect English.. but to the best of his ability he lets me know when he wants out of the cage to explore.
Thank you for an interesting video on Conures, what lovely birds you have. There is a great similarity between Conure sounds and budgie sounds, and meanings. I've not had a Conures for many years, recently, started keeping budgies again. I have more time to take notice of my birds now I'm retired.
It is interesting how different species can use similar sounds. I'm a big fan of budgies and noticed a couple of similarities too! I really want to do a sound/meaning video for them but don't currently have any!
The flock call, alarm call, beak grinding, and chatting squealing definitely sounds the most familiar, I miss Ruby and Jade. Jade was probably the loudest of the both.
Thank you for this great info. My conure makes a trilling sound that I would like to understand. He first screams, then I respond in a soothing voice from another room, then he starts making a softer trilling sound
It’s possible it’s a variant of a growl! Many conures vocalise to indicate moods and this is often through growling, squealing etc! (I have a video on that too!)
I guess because she's an 'only bird,' my conure uses a lot of acquired noises. I'm surprised by how effective she is at communicating with them. Some of them would be "Bye bye!" When I'm about to leave for work, kiss noises and "peekaboo" when she wants attention, "cuddle!" for scritches, and "Pippin treat!/Gimmie treat!/you wanna treat?" uh... Pretty much all the time! Probably shouldn't've taught her that one, lol.
Hey Madyssen, If you want to send me a clip on insta I'd be curious to hear the noise and can maybe identify it! Hissing isn't normally a common conure noise, it's possible she learned it or it's just her version of something else they do!
@@TheParrotTeacher I’ll definitely try my best to send you a clip of her hissing, she’s a little camera shy though. I’d love to know what her little noises mean! (:
I want to report that my conure "Hoby" has recovered somewhat from his stroke a month ago. He has gotten quiet-er and calmer which I love, since I was given him to me by someone who was going to do something bad to him for he screams. Really at times I would go crazy...now he has perched himself for most of the days. He still feels safer to eat and night long sleep at the bottom. I found your channel when I was desperate to find out what to do. You have been a part of his healing because of your kind words during a rough time. I have had him for over 50 yrs myself. Make sure you all want something in your life for possible a long visit. Love hearing everyone's comments about their birds.
Hey Maryann, I'm really glad he's doing well. I'm also glad that we have been able to provide some support and comfort with the difficult times. Me and Sophie have had them too and it's great to hear kind words or just to see nice videos! He's a distinguished man and it's great he's eating, relaxing and acting semi normally even if a little more quietly lol
My conure plays outside all day and he mimics the other birds. Apparently, he mimics the sounds of magpies and woodpeckers; I dunno that is what my friend who used to be a logger told me. His alarm is loud and very sharp. Connor only makes the sound that this guy demonstrated when he is playing with a toy and when he looks for me, he has different tones of "peek a boo", sometimes loud and sometimes quiet. I think my bird is defective.
Hey there, Generally they don't unless you have done some training, they have a VERY strong bond with you or you get lucky. Your best bet is to contact local rescues, local news media and post in as many groups as possible. You could put flyers up too! The more people know your conure is missing the more chance you'll get them back!
My bird likes to cuddle and make kissing noises and preen my eyebrows. He always goes right for the eyebrows (I got quite bushy eyebrows too)... I feel like Im at the salon
0:52 So true! I had friends who asked me how I could tell the difference between my two GCCS. I pointed out a couple of visual differences; they were equally impressed when I showed them I could tell the difference between the two of them with my back turned - just by their voices. Sadly, both of my babies passed away within the last 18 months. They were 22 and almost 26. My 25 YO passed away the most recently: in February this year. RIP to my Jade and Jem 😢😓😢😓😢
@@TheParrotTeacher yes, they did live full lives. I had gotten Jade when he was around 8 weeks old, so I was blessed to have him for almost 26 years. And Jem, who passed away before Jade, I'd had for 21 of his 22 years. I did actually adopt a 9 YO GCC last year a few months after Jem had died because Jade and I were horribly devastated. Her name is Ollie; she's a handful; and I adore her! 🙂
my conure hears your birds when I watch your videos and she trys to chime in and sounds like she is trying to communicate with them. i only have one bird and is it healthy for her to hear and try to interact with your birds sounds? i would think it would be healthy for her.
Hey Lisa, That's very cute! It's normal for her to react to the sounds of other conures. We occasionally put on videos of other birds to ours and they enjoy them. I'd say put it on once in a while, but don't leave other conure sounds on for any length of time. This is because it could cause frustration, stress (where are these birds?!) or lead to hormonal behaviour.
Gator (my new turquoise yellow-sided GC) and I loved this video! Where'd you get the lovely royal parrot paintings? He is insisting on having his portrait painted now ;)
Thank you! I have lots more on conures on the channel! I think the ones in this video are from an old unboxing I did! If you search parrot portrait on my channel it should come up with links etc
my conure makes this low noise like a hiccup and twitch back her wings at the same time, I am going to the vet in 2 days to check her out. she is only 12 weeks old.
That is definitely one I missed in a form. I need to do a part 2 as I missed a few others that were tough to film. Ours tend to squeal or squeak when happy with food!
My 23 year old doesn't make any of these noises. Instead it repeats its name endlassly, then can sound like a dogs squeak toy; Gets visibly loud when I head to the door realizing I'm leaving and also imitates the sound of my car starting. It has picked up almost a dozen phrases, a deep humming sound and my laugh. It has absolutely no fear of anyone or anything.
Hello to Scampi, Pickles, Olive and their wonderful parents 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗, one hug each... From Oscar and his Mummylein. May we have a video call together. You've helped me be a Conure. Thank you so much for your inspirational personalities.
It could be a few things from the description! It’s always difficult to tell from text, if you can record it and send it over on Instagram I may be able to give you a better reply!
@@TheParrotTeacher it was the first time today and i was on the other side of the house. She stopped when i called out to her. I will see if i can catch her doing it
Thank you so much for your videos. My baby conure seems to be making alarm calls when I leave the room. I try to ignore it. When I pick her up with a soft voice she starts grinding. It there some other way to calm her down? I need me time etc too
At about 10 pm my female sun conure was making what sounded like chirping and fluffing up. She was also bobbing her head and flapping her wings a bit. I’m not sure if she is just tired or what. I’m a bit worried 😰
Hey Sybil, It's possible she could have "been doing the nasty" with a toy. It's most likely given the description. It's also possible she was disturbed or got a little stressed by something!
@@TheParrotTeacher Thank you for replying to me! Do you think I should be worried? I’m not too familiar with parrots. I had parakeets before but these are my first sun conures.
@@RosieandFriends1 It doesn't sound like anything worrying to me from your description! If you're really concerned you can DM me a clip of it over on Instagram for me to look at! If it's something worrying her, it may be worth identifying what it is. If it's "naughty time" looking at managing hormones! I have lots of other conure related videos on my channel too!
Ok so my conure makes a noise that sounds like “what’s up what’s up” and if I ever say “whats up” he goes for blood and into attack mode….. any idea why???
@@TheParrotTeacher I would record it but I’d rather not egg him on and get him in eagle mode lol I think I just won’t say what’s up anymore and put him in his cage when he starts saying it
I wouldnt pop him right in his cage when he says it as that may form a link between them! Id just record session with him and watch for what the sound means exactly and whats leading up to it! The sound is a behaviour, we need to understand what hes getting from it and whats causing it?
Thank you so much I’ll try to get a video of it maybe you’ll Be able to read it better and see his body language, it’s just weird because he’s so affectionate and always on me. Really appreciate the fast replies thanks again
Hi! My conure makes these little “quack noises” but they’re low in volume and kind of deep, it’s when he walks around and he tends to like squat his body when he makes these noises simantaneously. What is this noise?
Hi there! I just got me pineapple conure and we are having hard time to communicate with each other!! He bites us when we take him out! He climbs to our shoulders bu him shelf but bites our necks non stop!! What can we to help each other?
Hey there, Conure's are notorious nippers and biters! It's a behaviour that can be mitigated and helped through training. I have other videos on the topic, mostly about conures and biting which may be helpful to look at! General advice wise though, work on training with him. Work on target training through the bars of the cage. Try to get him used to being on sleeved hands or a perch. Then move that training onto an unsleeved hand. There's lots to write out to help here but it's too much for one comment! Take a peek at the videos and if you really get stuck you could always book a consult with us!
@@TheParrotTeacher yeah my dog knows not to come into the animal room, but when she does break that rule my conure lets me know 🤣 he's such a snitch my dog will never get the chance to get away with it. And she knows as soon as he screams she runs and hides. Lol
I got my GCC at 6 weeks old.... He's my first and ONLY parrot. I realized after watching serval videos, that my boy only makes 2 typical conure sounds.... The rest he's learned from me. He doesn't sit and scream like normal birds...He goes thru all the phrases he knows! Lol
is it possible for a gcc to sound like a different bird? my family got a gcc in 2015 while we already had a peach-faced lovebird that died in 2018, she still makes noises that sound nothing like the ones in this video
so sadly we have come across a two year green cheek conure out in the wild- and we know it's two years old cause it has a band.. we have posted it everywhere and we've looked for a microchip and nothing.. we've had them for 4 days (and yes ive had one before so i know what ive gotten myself into) but i was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to grow the bond and make them less anxious?
My pineapple gcc is now six months old, but about a month ago she was making those "naughty noises" while sitting on my shoulder, and if I tried to pet her, she'd tell me to back off with the sort of screech and slight lunge with the open beak. I'm making it sound a lot more aggressive than it was, but any advice on why she'd be doing that at five months old? She hasn't really done it in the past month, just wondering about it.
Hey Alyx, Firstly really like the avatar photo (love foxes!) Regarding your conure, if she's making those kinds of noises it could be one of a couple of things at that age. The more likely thing is she's playing or excited by making those noises. They could be a similar noise but not paired with a gesture. It is also possible for a conure to be hormonal at that age but uncommon! It comes with seasons or with other factors such as diet etc. If she's rubbing herself on toys or you it's more likely to be this. Hope this helps! (I have lots of other conure videos too if you want more info!)
@@TheParrotTeacher Thank you! It actually happened very briefly again today, and from context, I think she was just very excited. Also, thank you about the profile picture (even though, ironically, I changed it for the first time in a year)! As you'd expect, I also love foxes. Anyway, I appreciate the response, and I will be watching more of your videos!
Hey there, They can be very noisy sometimes. Mostly it comes from alarm calling where they are at their noisiest. It would depend on the size of the apartment, your ability as a trainer (to mitigate noise through redirection/hormones/spending time with the little one) and how tolerant your neighbours are! Hope this helps!
@@ikcaruswingz Mostly making sure they are well cared for, get plenty of attention and enrichment and have company. Training specifically would be the above and being able to redirect the behaviour.
I love your videos, they confirm what they have taught me! Lol Do you know what it means when they put their beak on the counter and push it along? I cant figure it out or if it just means shes being silly. Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
Hey there, Sorry if I'm being silly but what is an irn? If it's a parrot I'd work on bonding with them both (Just made a video on it) and also keep them separated so they can't fight until you can train them to tolerate eachother.
@@saulgoodman8390 Ahh ok! Duh me! You need to work on tolerance and bonding exercises! As I mentioned in the previous comment watch the video and try to keep them separated for now!
My baby green cheek is sounding like he's stuffed and keep shaking as if he's sneezing. Also looks like he's trying to breathe out his mouth. Not sure what's going on :(
Hello I have a question my young green cheek conure keeps making this sound and popping his wings up and he’s been very aggressive lately like he is not happy with anything my husband or I do he doesn’t make this sound when he’s alone in his cage it’s only when he’s with us idk if I am able to send you a video or something so you can see it but I don’t know where else to turn I just want him to be happy and healthy more than anything and idk why he isn’t happy
You could send me a clip via Instagram and I can give my opinion on what he’s communicating! But I’d check out some of my other videos on conures and biting too! You could consider a consultation if things are really bad
Yup our business does! We can give you a brief reply and point you in the right direction but due to how many messages we get we won’t be able to go into huge detail!
@@TheParrotTeacher okay awesome thank you so much I just sent my message and a video to you I appreciate you getting back to me and I hope to hear from you soon on how to help my baby!
Hey there! It's one of their cutest noises. But also comes in so many different forms. Scampi growls, Pickles growls sometimes but then "snuffles" other times and Olive just like to squeal lol
I just bought a green cheek and trying to get him to stop biting. He was making the growling noise while fluffed and perching on one claw, I was confused cause growling normally means angry but it’s nice to know he was okay with it.
Hey Joey, So growling can mean a few things. It usually depends on the context, body language and their mood. For example Scampi likes to growl softly when he's preening or cuddling. BUT, he will also grow and squeal when he see's something scary out of the window. I need to make an updated version of this with fresh footage really!
@@TheParrotTeacher thank you! He ended up just wanting me to pet him! I’ve only had him for about three days now, and he’s already cuddling and falling asleep in my hands!
@TheParrotTeacher hey as I said I've had him about a week with no trouble ..but now when I let him on my finger he's biting me ..not just once but all over any advice please 🙏

Olive mumbling to the toy - the best! 😅 😃
We love it too. It's such an adorable sound. She also squeals to music!
I had to take a screenshot of that! She sounded, and looked so adorable!!
My birds name is olive
I am VERY familiar with all my conures noises! So it’s pretty cool to have that information reinterpreted ❤

Hey Jerry,
Thanks very much! Back at you from the UK!
This is a wonderful compilation of their noises!
I have a 7 year old Greencheek named Rupert. Sadly, he was abused prior to me getting him in 2017, so some of his noises are a little different to your flocks'. His contact call is kind of a multipurpose one. Sometimes he just wants someone in the room with him, and sometimes he's just really excited, and wants to tell the whole world about it (while holding a pepper or other piece of food in his foot!). The best way I can describe it, is "bajaaaaaaant!". It's one of his loudest vocalizations. His alarm call is very much like Scampi's, and sometimes can be accompanied by the "brrrrr" noise that you call growling. I usually associate it with him being scared, because his body usually flattens, and he may take off flying, if he's scared enough. He also has another very wild sound, that I discern as major distress, and that's his "rap-ba-bap!" call. Rupert is a night owl, and would much rather stay up really late, and fall asleep on a human's lap. One time, after being tucked in his sleep cage for the night, he started sounding off that distress call, and I really did think he was in mortal danger, and I rushed in to see what was wrong. He was fine! He was just protesting bed time. But, since I reacted the way I did, he's learned that he will be uncovered if he "cries wolf" and sounds like he's in dire trouble. Like Scampi, Rupert also gets pretty worked up over jingly balls, so we do have to be careful there. Rupert has never done the anxious peep, but instead uses the "brrrrrreee" in a trill (it's a more extended version of his scared noise), as if to say "don't leave!" Rupert only squeals when we "wrestle". He leaps on to a towel over my hands (like a bird-sized trampoline) and he squeals with delight. It's one of the exercises I started doing with him, to help him loosen up and learn to play. He still has some remnant fears from his past that we're working on. As far as acquired noises, he is actually very clear! He can say "watcha want?", "what are you doin'?", or sometimes he mashes those up in to "what doin' do?". He can also bark very quietly (we don't have a dog, and there's no TV in the room, so we have no idea where that one came from!), and he can't whistle, but he tries really hard to mimic his flockmate's (Sherbet is a Peachfaced Lovebird) wolf whistle, by simply saying "wee-a-weet!". We're not certain, but he also has one sound, that sounds like he says "Ru-errr" sometimes... maybe as an attempt at his name? He also slurps. I would make those sounds to encourage him to try new foods (while pretending to eat those foods myself), and ever since then, he uses it whenever he wants a bite of whatever you've got in your hands. You have to make sure it's something he can actually have, because as you probably know, they are really good at guilt-tripping humans.
They certainly can be very good at training and guilt tripping us lol They know how to get their way!
It is also true that they have their own unique vocalisations dependant on experience! There are common ones but they tend to vary! Which I think is awesome!
Sounds like a real pair of characters!
Olive squealing is the best noise!
It so is!
my olive is also screaming
@@largewaff Definitely a conure thing lol
Olive’s squealing is precious. We have two conures one of whom is named Mango and they both say Mango Man
Thank you, she's a real cutie!
Haha that's awesome! It's amazing what the pick up word wise!
I’m going to get a conure on Saturday and I just found your videos! I love your videos it helps me more to understand my new bird💕
Hey Annika,
Glad it was helpful! What's your conure going to be named?
@@TheParrotTeacherIm form Norway and her last owner called her “frøken” and that means “lady”
@@annikahuusvatland442 Sounds cute to me!
Came for the conure sounds;stayed for those paintings💕
Thank you lol
We change them out for different videos depending on topic! We also have one of Olive elsewhere!
You didn't go over the stress quack!! It's my favorite noise, even though it means the bird is upset. It's just the funniest sound though! My conure would do it every so often for the first few days that we had her and eventually stopped after getting used to our house!
Ah sorry I missed that! The quack can sound a bit different depending on the conure!
If I do a 2nd part I'll make sure to record/include it!
my bird quacks every few seconds...
My conure when defiant, the male, will always move his head from left to right, hissing. I wonder for months when it came from until I realized he was actually considering the sponge on the table a "rival", showing is territory. So everytime we are cleaning up the table, he shows the cage is their own my doing this. So know, he also uses this to show to people that his cage is his own or that an item or even the chair belongs to him . It's impressive how they tend to memorize their own codes. By sister bred them, she is her a conure breeder, and the ones at my place clearly developed element of language and communication specific to them. These birds are really amazing. I like your videos they help me understand some things better and also to correct my mistakes!
Hey Nicolas,
I'm glad the videos are useful!
They certainly are amazing creatures and they do indeed have their own form of simple language and communication. Conures have loads of vocalisations!
I just love all of this information (also on your other videos). My pineapple is a little girl that will be 7 in July. Have her since she was a baby. She sans "baby" and all sorts of giberish that I do not yet compréhension. She un rôles toilet paper, pushes everything from tables, counters on the floor (coffee cups, water glasses, tv control, my cell, etc). When I do dises she eats the soap, take a bath in a pan on the stove for pasta, takes a bath in the dog or cat's bowl, dives into my peanut butter or jam jar all you see is a tail popping out, she hides in the cupboard, once found her in the fridge (she was there just a few seconds), she likes to terrorize my other birds. I can go on and on. I have to watch her all the time. But she's a cuddle ball and looks at you with these loving eyes like to say "I love you mum". She's like a teenager with TDHD. In three words "She's lovable". With this ball of feathers, you definitely are not bored.
Thank you Michelle!
They are definitely little terrors. I can remember a time when we wouldn't have even considered conures over other parrots...now we have 3 lol
marvelous portraits in the background. very regal!
Thank you haha! They’ve currently been swapped out for the birds as Pokémon cards!
My moms conure mimics my cough. And when he wants out of the cage he say pineapple, right here , look at me. It’s not perfect English.. but to the best of his ability he lets me know when he wants out of the cage to explore.
Hey Brian,
Sounds like he's pretty bright and has been training you guys too lol
My GCC repeats in rapid succession, "wanna come out" when he's ready to come out of his cage.
@@nitzyblack6143 that’s cute!
Mine copies my wheeze when I laugh and even the laughing afterwards
I am in lo♥ve with those posters/pictures where did you find them 😍
Not sure which ones where feature in this vid!

Oh, I'm so glad I found your channel. Your Conure are all wonderful. Great video
Hey Meg,
Thank you, they are cute little monsters for sure!
Thank you for an interesting video on Conures, what lovely birds you have. There is a great similarity between Conure sounds and budgie sounds, and meanings. I've not had a Conures for many years, recently, started keeping budgies again. I have more time to take notice of my birds now I'm retired.
It is interesting how different species can use similar sounds. I'm a big fan of budgies and noticed a couple of similarities too!
I really want to do a sound/meaning video for them but don't currently have any!
Great video! We used to have lovebirds and, although the actual sounds were different, they did pretty much the same type of sounds.
Hey Samuel,
Glad it was useful!
THANK YOU SIR, WE HAVE A BLACK CAPPED CONURE AND FIVE FUN MACAWS IN OUR FAMILY🦜💞
Glad the video was useful! I have more too!
That’s lots of parrots, cool!
@@TheParrotTeacher
We had a Sun Conure recently but my hubby gave him to a good friend of his 👍
The flock call, alarm call, beak grinding, and chatting squealing definitely sounds the most familiar, I miss Ruby and Jade. Jade was probably the loudest of the both.
Beak grinding is always my fave!
Thank you! Jazz and Tweeters said to tell your conure "
Hi!"
Hey Don,
No problems and Hi right back to them!
Thank you for this great info. My conure makes a trilling sound that I would like to understand. He first screams, then I respond in a soothing voice from another room, then he starts making a softer trilling sound
It’s possible it’s a variant of a growl! Many conures vocalise to indicate moods and this is often through growling, squealing etc! (I have a video on that too!)
I guess because she's an 'only bird,' my conure uses a lot of acquired noises. I'm surprised by how effective she is at communicating with them. Some of them would be "Bye bye!" When I'm about to leave for work, kiss noises and "peekaboo" when she wants attention, "cuddle!" for scritches, and "Pippin treat!/Gimmie treat!/you wanna treat?" uh... Pretty much all the time! Probably shouldn't've taught her that one, lol.
They learn very quickly, especially if the sounds they acquire are linked to things they want!
My conure likes to hiss at absolutely everything, is this normal behaviour? She hisses and then mimics my laughter 😂
Hey Madyssen,
If you want to send me a clip on insta I'd be curious to hear the noise and can maybe identify it!
Hissing isn't normally a common conure noise, it's possible she learned it or it's just her version of something else they do!
@@TheParrotTeacher I’ll definitely try my best to send you a clip of her hissing, she’s a little camera shy though. I’d love to know what her little noises mean! (:
@@madyssenstratford7224 Sounds good!
Oh my god, my conure hisses too sort of! I thought mine was the only one!
Did he address it? One of mine hisses and clucks
Mine has some weird talking noises at night, it’s adorable but kinda scary.
Hey Hiravo!
Like chatting or squeeling? Ours sometimes do that too lol
@@TheParrotTeacher kinda, it happens more at night when she’s tired. it’s like she’s trying to say words but it’s just gibberish
@@hiravo That sounds like usual conure relaxing to me! All of our conures have their own version of it, it can be a little odd lol
I can relate to the bird not doing the trick when you're trying to show someone. It's like they think its funny
Hey there,
Yeah that's definitely birds for you lol. The training helps lots but sometimes they just don't want to!
@@TheParrotTeacher they're always perfect until you try and show someone ! Little brats.
@@midnightskittles8032 Haha for sure!
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing and all the long hrs of recording this took.
Hey Holly,
Glad you enjoyed and thank you!
Thats so helpful, thank you so much ! I can now tell that my conure is anxious everytime I get too close to her.
I'm glad it was useful! I have lots of other conure content on my channel!
Our conure likes to fly up to me and chatter in my ear when she wants me to take her out of my brothers room to my room.
Hey there,
Haha sounds like she's training you!
Oscar loves watching this video, thank you for sharing
I'm glad Oscar enjoyed! I have more conure themed videos!
I want to report that my conure "Hoby" has recovered somewhat from his stroke a month ago. He has gotten quiet-er and calmer which I love, since I was given him to me by someone who was going to do something bad to him for he screams. Really at times I would go crazy...now he has perched himself for most of the days. He still feels safer to eat and night long sleep at the bottom. I found your channel when I was desperate to find out what to do. You have been a part of his healing because of your kind words during a rough time. I have had him for over 50 yrs myself. Make sure you all want something in your life for possible a long visit. Love hearing everyone's comments about their birds.
Hey Maryann,
I'm really glad he's doing well. I'm also glad that we have been able to provide some support and comfort with the difficult times. Me and Sophie have had them too and it's great to hear kind words or just to see nice videos!
He's a distinguished man and it's great he's eating, relaxing and acting semi normally even if a little more quietly lol
@@TheParrotTeacher Your very kind... he likes morning birdie Zen room music. Me? I go outside and let him have fun. Have a great day.
@@maryannholmgren3076
Sounds good to me! Is that from the Parrot Town Tv channel?
You too!
@@TheParrotTeacher yes..
@maryann holmgren Awesome!
We still watch Parrot Town with our birds to relax them!
My conure plays outside all day and he mimics the other birds. Apparently, he mimics the sounds of magpies and woodpeckers; I dunno that is what my friend who used to be a logger told me. His alarm is loud and very sharp. Connor only makes the sound that this guy demonstrated when he is playing with a toy and when he looks for me, he has different tones of "peek a boo", sometimes loud and sometimes quiet. I think my bird is defective.
Hey Medea,
I wouldn't say he's defective lol! Sounds like he's been picking up lots of cool sounds he wants to show off to you!
When they flying did they caming back? please let me know thanks very much 😘😘😘
Hey there,
Generally they don't unless you have done some training, they have a VERY strong bond with you or you get lucky.
Your best bet is to contact local rescues, local news media and post in as many groups as possible. You could put flyers up too! The more people know your conure is missing the more chance you'll get them back!
My bird likes to cuddle and make kissing noises and preen my eyebrows. He always goes right for the eyebrows (I got quite bushy eyebrows too)... I feel like Im at the salon
Hey Glen! Seems he really likes those eyebrows haha! For my flock it's usually the front of my fringe!
0:52 So true! I had friends who asked me how I could tell the difference between my two GCCS. I pointed out a couple of visual differences; they were equally impressed when I showed them I could tell the difference between the two of them with my back turned - just by their voices.
Sadly, both of my babies passed away within the last 18 months. They were 22 and almost 26. My 25 YO passed away the most recently: in February this year.
RIP to my Jade and Jem 😢😓😢😓😢
Sorry to hear it but at least they had good long lives! That’s old age for conures!!
@@TheParrotTeacher yes, they did live full lives. I had gotten Jade when he was around 8 weeks old, so I was blessed to have him for almost 26 years. And Jem, who passed away before Jade, I'd had for 21 of his 22 years. I did actually adopt a 9 YO GCC last year a few months after Jem had died because Jade and I were horribly devastated. Her name is Ollie; she's a handful; and I adore her! 🙂
Great video thanks.. thinking.of getting a conure but I'm weary of noise..the walls between myself and my neighbour are thin.
Glad it was helpful! They can be very noisy sometimes!
Pickles is so! Adorable 😍😃😃
Hey Ramon!
Thanks, we think so too! All of our birds have such personalities!
My conure chirps loudly and quickly and repeatedly when he sees the roomba vac and/or the RC car. Is that the alarm call?
It could potentially be, or an excited/stress noise!
Chatting and squeaking- like it when you were too shy to demonstrate. Really your video. Liked the background pictures too. Nice video
Hey Clare,
Thanks for the kind comment!
my conure hears your birds when I watch your videos and she trys to chime in and sounds like she is trying to communicate with them. i only have one bird and is it healthy for her to hear and try to interact with your birds sounds? i would think it would be healthy for her.
Hey Lisa,
That's very cute! It's normal for her to react to the sounds of other conures. We occasionally put on videos of other birds to ours and they enjoy them.
I'd say put it on once in a while, but don't leave other conure sounds on for any length of time.
This is because it could cause frustration, stress (where are these birds?!) or lead to hormonal behaviour.
Gator (my new turquoise yellow-sided GC) and I loved this video! Where'd you get the lovely royal parrot paintings? He is insisting on having his portrait painted now ;)
Thank you! I have lots more on conures on the channel!
I think the ones in this video are from an old unboxing I did! If you search parrot portrait on my channel it should come up with links etc
my conure makes this low noise like a hiccup and twitch back her wings at the same time, I am going to the vet in 2 days to check her out. she is only 12 weeks old.
what about the happy feeding sound..all our conures do it when they get fresh food and seed....like a soft happy /purring sort of sound?
That is definitely one I missed in a form. I need to do a part 2 as I missed a few others that were tough to film.
Ours tend to squeal or squeak when happy with food!
Thankyou for this informative video❤
My pleasure 😊 plenty more on the channel!
I am so glad you made this video.... excellent 👌
Glad you liked it! I have more of them on behaviours/sounds for conures too!
I call my conure’s growling his dinosaur sounds, I love it so much 🥹
Us too! It’s cute!
My 23 year old doesn't make any of these noises. Instead it repeats its name endlassly, then can sound like a dogs squeak toy; Gets visibly loud when I head to the door realizing I'm leaving and also imitates the sound of my car starting. It has picked up almost a dozen phrases, a deep humming sound and my laugh. It has absolutely no fear of anyone or anything.
The deep humming is likely his version of a growl! As for the other noises it seems they have learned lots of interesting things!
Hi I’m new too! I just got my cinnamon green cheek conure yesterday and this video help me. 😊
Awesome!
Hi, what is the twee twee sound in the background when pickles is beak grinding please.
My green cheek female does it occasionally
That sound was likely our cockatiels!
Hello to Scampi, Pickles, Olive and their wonderful parents 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗, one hug each...
From Oscar and his Mummylein. May we have a video call together. You've helped me be a Conure. Thank you so much for your inspirational personalities.

My Piña just started making this noise that sounds like quick little pips on a trumpet. Any idea what that is?

At about 10 pm my female sun conure was making what sounded like chirping and fluffing up. She was also bobbing her head and flapping her wings a bit. I’m not sure if she is just tired or what. I’m a bit worried 😰
Hey Sybil,
It's possible she could have "been doing the nasty" with a toy. It's most likely given the description.
It's also possible she was disturbed or got a little stressed by something!
@@TheParrotTeacher Thank you for replying to me! Do you think I should be worried? I’m not too familiar with parrots. I had parakeets before but these are my first sun conures.
@@RosieandFriends1 It doesn't sound like anything worrying to me from your description!
If you're really concerned you can DM me a clip of it over on Instagram for me to look at!
If it's something worrying her, it may be worth identifying what it is. If it's "naughty time" looking at managing hormones!

Now I want a Pickle lol. Thank you for the video.

Ok so my conure makes a noise that sounds like “what’s up what’s up” and if I ever say “whats up” he goes for blood and into attack mode….. any idea why???
Hard to picture without hearing it! But if he reacts like that it definitely isnt a happy sound!
@@TheParrotTeacher I would record it but I’d rather not egg him on and get him in eagle mode lol I think I just won’t say what’s up anymore and put him in his cage when he starts saying it
I wouldnt pop him right in his cage when he says it as that may form a link between them!
Id just record session with him and watch for what the sound means exactly and whats leading up to it!
The sound is a behaviour, we need to understand what hes getting from it and whats causing it?
Thank you so much I’ll try to get a video of it maybe you’ll
Be able to read it better and see his body language, it’s just weird because he’s so affectionate and always on me. Really appreciate the fast replies thanks again
Hi! My conure makes these little “quack noises” but they’re low in volume and kind of deep, it’s when he walks around and he tends to like squat his body when he makes these noises simantaneously. What is this noise?
Sadly it’s tough to know without hearing it and seeing the behaviour! If you can record it and send it to me on Instagram I can be of more help!
I thought my conure was purring but really he’s just growling
Hey Shelby,
They do love to growl! Also because their noises are unique they can have all kinds of little twists to them!
Hi there! I just got me pineapple conure and we are having hard time to communicate with each other!! He bites us when we take him out! He climbs to our shoulders bu him shelf but bites our necks non stop!! What can we to help each other?
Hey there,
Conure's are notorious nippers and biters! It's a behaviour that can be mitigated and helped through training.
I have other videos on the topic, mostly about conures and biting which may be helpful to look at!
General advice wise though, work on training with him. Work on target training through the bars of the cage. Try to get him used to being on sleeved hands or a perch. Then move that training onto an unsleeved hand. There's lots to write out to help here but it's too much for one comment! Take a peek at the videos and if you really get stuck you could always book a consult with us!
@@TheParrotTeacher thank you for your response I'll check your other videos and hope for the best!! :)
My conure does the alarm call when he sees my dog in the other room peering in.
Clearly a conure who knows danger when he see's it! Or at least a creature that may steal food!
@@TheParrotTeacher yeah my dog knows not to come into the animal room, but when she does break that rule my conure lets me know 🤣 he's such a snitch my dog will never get the chance to get away with it. And she knows as soon as he screams she runs and hides. Lol
@@MultiPearlJammer Haha conures are such terrors but in a funny way!
I got my GCC at 6 weeks old.... He's my first and ONLY parrot. I realized after watching serval videos, that my boy only makes 2 typical conure sounds.... The rest he's learned from me. He doesn't sit and scream like normal birds...He goes thru all the phrases he knows! Lol
That’s not unusual! Conures will often learn from their environment and mimic sounds! I have lots more videos on them on my channel!
What does it mean when my conures squawk loud once then squawk two times fast after that
Hey Avery,
That's a pretty vague description to go on sadly! If you could record it and send it to me then I might be able to help!
is it possible for a gcc to sound like a different bird? my family got a gcc in 2015 while we already had a peach-faced lovebird that died in 2018, she still makes noises that sound nothing like the ones in this video
100 percent they can. They learn from their environment and that includes sounds!
Very interesting and useful to know thanks for sharing👍👍👍
My pleasure!
Hi what should I do if my green cheek conure in exposed her tounge every minute ??
I’m not quite sure from the description honestly! If you’re concerned it may be best to visit an avian vet!
@@TheParrotTeacher thanks, for the info, I prefer to go to avian vet, but there's problem cause theres no avin vet here but thanks anyway 😁

Kipling likes to scream and mimic people blowing noses lol
so sadly we have come across a two year green cheek conure out in the wild- and we know it's two years old cause it has a band.. we have posted it everywhere and we've looked for a microchip and nothing.. we've had them for 4 days (and yes ive had one before so i know what ive gotten myself into) but i was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to grow the bond and make them less anxious?
Hey Naudi,
I actually have videos specifically about bonding with conures specifically on my channel!
My pineapple gcc is now six months old, but about a month ago she was making those "naughty noises" while sitting on my shoulder, and if I tried to pet her, she'd tell me to back off with the sort of screech and slight lunge with the open beak. I'm making it sound a lot more aggressive than it was, but any advice on why she'd be doing that at five months old? She hasn't really done it in the past month, just wondering about it.
Hey Alyx,
Firstly really like the avatar photo (love foxes!)
Regarding your conure, if she's making those kinds of noises it could be one of a couple of things at that age. The more likely thing is she's playing or excited by making those noises. They could be a similar noise but not paired with a gesture.
It is also possible for a conure to be hormonal at that age but uncommon! It comes with seasons or with other factors such as diet etc. If she's rubbing herself on toys or you it's more likely to be this.
Hope this helps! (I have lots of other conure videos too if you want more info!)
@@TheParrotTeacher Thank you! It actually happened very briefly again today, and from context, I think she was just very excited. Also, thank you about the profile picture (even though, ironically, I changed it for the first time in a year)! As you'd expect, I also love foxes. Anyway, I appreciate the response, and I will be watching more of your videos!
Is green cheek make a good apartment pet I just concern about noise.
Hey there,
They can be very noisy sometimes. Mostly it comes from alarm calling where they are at their noisiest.
It would depend on the size of the apartment, your ability as a trainer (to mitigate noise through redirection/hormones/spending time with the little one) and how tolerant your neighbours are!
Hope this helps!
@@TheParrotTeacher Any suggestion for low noise training or I go with budgies instead.
@@ikcaruswingz Mostly making sure they are well cared for, get plenty of attention and enrichment and have company.
Training specifically would be the above and being able to redirect the behaviour.
@@TheParrotTeacher Does gender matter? should I get a boy or a girl.
@@ikcaruswingz With conures I'd say less than others for noise. Boys tend to be a little more "naughty" but it depends on the individual.
I love your videos, they confirm what they have taught me! Lol
Do you know what it means when they put their beak on the counter and push it along? I cant figure it out or if it just means shes being silly. Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
Sometimes its territorial, other times play, depends on context!
my birbs were making a lot of noise during this. they totally 'got it'! "yo that bird bro is in distress!"

I've always wondered about that growling noise 😂 my conure likes to growl in my ear.
Hey there!
It's one of their cutest noises. But also comes in so many different forms. Scampi growls, Pickles growls sometimes but then "snuffles" other times and Olive just like to squeal lol
I just bought a green cheek and trying to get him to stop biting. He was making the growling noise while fluffed and perching on one claw, I was confused cause growling normally means angry but it’s nice to know he was okay with it.
Hey Joey,
So growling can mean a few things. It usually depends on the context, body language and their mood. For example Scampi likes to growl softly when he's preening or cuddling. BUT, he will also grow and squeal when he see's something scary out of the window. I need to make an updated version of this with fresh footage really!
@@TheParrotTeacher thank you! He ended up just wanting me to pet him! I’ve only had him for about three days now, and he’s already cuddling and falling asleep in my hands!
