For people that want a pionus (apartment) I have a blue headed pionus, in an apartment, and ill tell you this video is a little deceiving. This is a bronze winged pionus, which is probably the most difficult pionus to acquire depending on where you are located. A white capped or blue headed is what youll be getting (most likely) if youre getting a pionus. The pionus has a “sun worship” ritual. Around 8:30 to 9 am my blue headed screams (used to be around 7 am). His scream is quite loud actually, it sounds like a siren when he really gets going. In the apartment the sound reverberates and im positive the neighbours can hear him. Strata laws in my building protect my parrot thankfully so they can all kiss my ass. Those people are far more annoying to me than my beautiful bird. Throughout the rest of the day, pionus’ generally are chill birds that observe more than they do play. However, they can have sudden bursts of energy for sure. They are content sitting on your shoulder and just being around you (their flock). You dont really have to play with them and give them hours upon hours of undivided attention like lets say an African grey. And remember thats birds have different personalities like us humans, they are very intelligent. Good luck!
@@ItsJustPreshus I live in the city as well, in an apartment. Heres how i see it. At first his screaming bothered me, mostly because i was worried something was wrong or my bird was unhappy. Plus noise complaints would be annoying. I would suggest you familiarize yourself with your strata laws regarding noise and animals. Because in my building, sure to someone my bird could be annoying, but its legal. Because he screams at 9 am not 6 am. His fit of screaming could be anywhere from 2 minutes to 20. Usually not more than 10 mins. Now when he screams, its a part of my routine. I get a little worried now when he doesnt scream in the morning because then i know he might be in a bad mood. Parrots dont speak our language (for the most part) so they communicate how they can, and my boy sings to the sun. Who the hell am i or anyone else to stop him? This animal is innocent and has no capacity to hate or betray, hes a loyal friend for life. That in itself is worth everything, and renders the screaming unproblematic in my eyes. Ps: remember not all birds are the same. Like people they can behave differently.
@@itsrando3923 Your boy is praising Ra every morning, it's just part of his religious beliefs. On the other hand, my parakeets beep and boop and chortle every time they hear a frickin sparrow
Wow, that's actually a pretty trill of a scream. It could just be the sound quality of the video, but I gotta say, although my Quinn (a BH Pi) generally likes to squeak in a quiet, ramble of a voice, he has this really, really loud and harsh squawk that he puts into play when he's frustrated and/or angry (as when I have been vacuuming too long or, unfortunately, when my parents visit....)! Yours has a lovely scream, in my humble opinion! :)
I have never had the opportunity to have a Moluccan, but I have had a Macaw and she was loud, but not nearly as loud as a Moluccan. Those are definitely the loudest!
@PBuzo Yeah, I think she just gets nervous when it's windy. But she rarely ever screams like that in the house. The only time she does is when it's breeding season, which only, thankfully, happens once or twice a year. And even then she doesnt scream for very long, only when she cant see me. If I leave for a bit I put on some nature sounds of birds and she is totally fine.
@PBuzo Awesome! And good to see that my video has helped in your final decision. I do wish I got her as a baby, but there is always bird number 2!! ~in a while haha~ I am thinking of a BH or a Hawk Head. You should definitely put up videos of you lil guy when he arrives!
@PBuzo Thank you!! She is a sweetie. She is about 10 years old, I am not quite sure, her previous owners dropped her off at a bird store so I decided to pick her up... that was about a year and a half ago.
@susaneharley haha, I figured I would put this up for the ppl interested in a Pionus but never heard them scream (and it actually is that trill)... Sometimes though I think she has a louder one when we dont pay attention to her. I can only imagine how much louder yours is compared to mine! My goodness! Funny yours doesnt like the vacuum, mine thinks its bath time when the vacuum is on! I actually have a video of that!
@PBuzo Not any that I have found, yet haha. She is a sweet girl, I think though she was raised at a kind of bird farm because she cannot fly properly, she is afraid of water, and she has a hard time trusting people, she never bites though, never, not even complete strangers. But now she is a happy healthy bird, sitting in her make shift nest on some eggs hahaa
Good lord my GCC is louder than this as well as my IRN. But you wanna hear loud get next to a Moluccan. OY VEY.....!!! 30yrs experience here in the avian field dealing with both wild & exotic pet species.
@PBuzo I love their colors, but that mischievous and fiesty attitude is exactly what I want haha... my bird is like the "I will do whatever you want, because I dont want to get in trouble" kind.
Yes, Nani likes shiny things too. I've had my hoop earings ripped out a few times but I wear the kind that come off easily so no damage done thank goodness! So Claude only screams like that when the wind hits her? Does she scream in the house much?
@Imnikole hahaha oh birds. I hear macaws and amazons near my barn every dawn and dusk screaming away! Luckily this one screams when she thinks she is in danger, or when I come home from college. At least they are nice screamers though.
@PBuzo It's always good to have both kinds so you never get bored haha. There is one thing about Claude that irks me, she loves shiny things. She just broke my necklace chain, she has been working on it for weeks and it broke off, little dingdong!!
Aw she laid eggs, cute. Nani (my Caique) has never laid but then again she's only 2 years old. I'll be getting a baby BW Pi in about 3 weeks. I couldn't decide between a BW and a BH but after I saw your video I decided on the BW!
@sdraper2011 hahaha I guess I have been blessed with a shrilly bird and not a screaming bird.. but none the less, its not my favorite sound from her :P
Wow, why would you do that to your bird. Put a bird out in the open where he knows he's vulnerable, what if a little sharp shinned had come along and grabbed your bird? Feel sorry that you're bird doesn't think about his safety....
Elise W You don’t even know were they’re from and your accusing them. It’s not like every corner of the globe is jam packed with raptor, falcons, and eagles. Even then he’s a foreign prey item. Most predators go for prey they commonly feed upon. They’d only attack the parrot if it was flying or moving in anyway. Raptors pick out members of the group that show weakness, plus he’s next to a human. They’d think twice about batting some random bird when a humans next to it.
A Raptor (Sparrowhawk) picked up a colourful parrot like model. before my very eyes which wasn’t moving. He hovered for a moment before taking it, in The UK near London
wow if that's the best Pionus scream they must be great birds for apartments
that says a lot
A macaw would get you evicted.
No, they arent
I was expecting it to be louder for some reason... The loudest parrot I've been around was a Sun Conure.
That's a pretty sound! I would barely call that "screaming," lol.
Holy crap these birds are amazing. It's like an alarm clock, claude's beautiful voice lettin it all out

I am looking into getting a pionus. I live in an apartment also but I live in the city so noise is unavoidable lol. How long does his sun ritual last?

Your bird screams because you keep it locked up in a cage, donut.

Oh I completely agree. I used to have a blue and gold as well... I loved that parrot! They are such snuggle buddies.
Probably saw a bird he didn't like
I have never had the opportunity to have a Moluccan, but I have had a Macaw and she was loud, but not nearly as loud as a Moluccan. Those are definitely the loudest!

haha I have had a neighbor who had a cockatoo, but I have had a macaw. She is a very, how to put it in parrot people terms, low decibel parrot? hahaha
Is that a Bronze winged pionus or a blue headed one it looks like a Bronzed winged one he's soo lovely 💕 🌹😍 MashaAllah
This is a bronze wing
haha, and I want a "I will do whatever you want, because I dont want to get in trouble" kind. I already have a mischievous one. :-)
@PBuzo Awesome! And good to see that my video has helped in your final decision. I do wish I got her as a baby, but there is always bird number 2!! ~in a while haha~ I am thinking of a BH or a Hawk Head.
You should definitely put up videos of you lil guy when he arrives!
My parrot is a pionus and is waaaaaay louder when bored
What is the particular color morph of your bird?
@PBuzo Thank you!! She is a sweetie. She is about 10 years old, I am not quite sure, her previous owners dropped her off at a bird store so I decided to pick her up... that was about a year and a half ago.

That's not too bad compared to what I have to put up with having two Maxi's in the house.

I must know what type of pionus!! It sounds so beautiful
Bronze winged pionus
Aaaawwww! :o)
@PBuzo I love their colors, but that mischievous and fiesty attitude is exactly what I want haha... my bird is like the "I will do whatever you want, because I dont want to get in trouble" kind.
Yes, Nani likes shiny things too. I've had my hoop earings ripped out a few times but I wear the kind that come off easily so no damage done thank goodness!
So Claude only screams like that when the wind hits her? Does she scream in the house much?
Have you ever owned a cockatoo or amazon parrot? This isn't screaming lol. This is completely peaceful compared to mine!
@Imnikole hahaha oh birds. I hear macaws and amazons near my barn every dawn and dusk screaming away! Luckily this one screams when she thinks she is in danger, or when I come home from college. At least they are nice screamers though.
@PBuzo It's always good to have both kinds so you never get bored haha. There is one thing about Claude that irks me, she loves shiny things. She just broke my necklace chain, she has been working on it for weeks and it broke off, little dingdong!!
I have a blue and gold macaw. THAT guy is a screamer lol
@GreyParrotMedia She is really great, I never really do hear her. But I do feel your pain when it comes to loud screaming... I had a macaw once.
Hawk Heads are soooo cool looking! Yes I will definitely put up videos of my baby when it comes :-)
What type of pionus is that?
I can't imagine why anyone would want to get rid of her. Did she have behavioral issues?
Hahahaha, mine does this at like 7 in the morning.
How old is she? She's beautiful!
Aw she laid eggs, cute. Nani (my Caique) has never laid but then again she's only 2 years old. I'll be getting a baby BW Pi in about 3 weeks. I couldn't decide between a BW and a BH but after I saw your video I decided on the BW!
@sdraper2011 hahaha I guess I have been blessed with a shrilly bird and not a screaming bird.. but none the less, its not my favorite sound from her :P
Lovely baby Subhan Allah let him ❤️ make some noise momma
"that's not necessary" - Huh? I don't get it. Seriously.
