I guess it's everyone's own tolerance to noise, but I don't find GCCs to be overly loud...
The shrill call sounds like Astro. She's probably annoyed with Rocket since he hangs out in her cage in the evening. He's usually on the open swing down door, or on top swinging the metal tab that keeps the door closed, but lately he's picking different perches in her cage to sit on. Once in a while he makes a trek back to his own cage to get his jollies on his rope perch and then goes back to her cage.It depends. My green cheek was the only bird that gave me noise complaints from my neighbors. She had a very shrill call.
That's so cute!!!My best thought about GCC noises? Unbearably cute. Pippin sleep talks all the time. Just soft Little trills, clicks and soft whistles with her eyes closed. It’s almost like it’s her REM sleep and she’s dreaming about talking to other birds. And of course one of the sound I make is a click click click pause click. And she learned it within 2 weeks of being here. My clever little darling. I love my CAG loads but I love Pippin just as much.
...that's the bottom line here...to tell you the truth, I've never met a GCC that WASN'T cute...I think i probably will get a GCC they are just too cute....
This might backfire on you: birds find it stressful to be separated from their flock, and are likely to call loudly and incessantly if they can hear you in other parts of the house but they cannot get to you. When I visit my parents, Leia stays in a bedroom and yells for me if she can hear me but I'm not in the room with her. She can't join me because my parents have dogs and like to leave doors open - it's not safe for her to be anywhere else in the house. In my flat, Leia's cage is in the living room where I spend most of my time and she's quiet as can be.If at all possible I will try to get my room separated from the rest of the family, as in like if my room was in the basement, if the bird screeched maybe everyone else wouldn't hear it as much? Basically, it's okay if they can hear it, as long as it's not irritating for them.
Wow, really? Yeah, but I can see why I will have to think about that then, maybe my family will come to love my GCC. Then it wouldn't be an issue. I know my dad will. But if it has a sweet personality, then maybe everyone will like it? Not sure, mostly I'm kind of gonna be like "don't touch my baby" but i will share from time to time..... maybeThis might backfire on you: birds find it stressful to be separated from their flock, and are likely to call loudly and incessantly if they can hear you in other parts of the house but they cannot get to you.

Please don't bet on it. Many of us here will put up up with all sorts of noises because we love our birds. Your family will not necessarily be the same - the same sounds may really annoy them.Wow, really?

That's true. I will have to get them to hear them first. Some of you suggested playing videos of GCCs and seeing what they think, I will try that.Please don't bet on it.

Aww! He really knows how to use his cuteness to manipulate you! lolPilo has his moments when he tries to communicate with his friends near his window, but on the whole is mostly noisy in that he yaks his butt off! His constant demand for kisses and ice cream is enough to melt your heart and cave in to his demands!
It’s a Pilo thingy!
Ain’t that the truth!Aww! He really knows how to use his cuteness to manipulate you! lol
