Pionus are the best birds if you prefer a calmer and quieter addition to your family. They are just so sweet. We have a White Cap and a Blue Head. Love them both. They have totally different sounds that they make. The WC sounds I can't explain but they are so precious lower frequency beeps and clucks. The BH has higher pitched squeaks. I adore them. Wish I could have a dozen but there is no way to give them enough attention! The two I have are so jealous of each other it's comical. Such smart and intuitive birds. They get jealous if I even cut my eyes over to the other one. Lol. It's like "no mommy, me, me, me, only me!"
