Amazon Parrot Smiles

[Bob Busby]

Has anyone experienced their parrot or Amazon parrot pretending to bite their wing or leg and then make a loud squeaking sound when they are frustrated? Our parrot was with a Macaw for seven years, they shared an indoor lanai together, had separate cages and were allowed in and out of their cages anytime they wanted.

I've seen a lot of strange stuff but I have to pass on this one.

Mine make a lot of sounds though.

Mine gets angry when he can't get a floofie feather off his head..and he "growl screams" lol.

Lucy hollers my dog Choppers name when she is angry or frustrated

Yes, I've seen it twice, and heard of it from others too. One I knew was a rehomed hybrid. He did it regularly, in fact did it so often he had some feather loss on the leg.

The other was Chaos for a time when we had difficulties for a few years.

I think it's a behavior you see from frustration/anxiety.

@macawpower58 isn't Chaos a macaw?

 

[macawpower58]

Yes, I've only seen macaws do this. Not to say other parrots don't also.

Nope, never seen it.

Kiko is a rehome, so he does this regularly when he gets frustrated over almost anything. If my hands come too close when I am changing papers or food or water, when he argues with his hanging toy that 'refuses' to move away from him, if I don't talk to him when he wants me to, ect. I think this can happen in virtually any species of parrot, as I saw a Goffin's do this as well when I was visiting my family.

I had never seen it before Kailua's video.

I had never seen it before Kailua's video.

She is extremely seductive in tone. It's matters not what she says, she always sounds like she is propositioning you.

I'll refrain from quoting phrases on this thread.
