Anyone know how much louder a hahns macaw is generally speaking compared to a lorikeet?
It reminded me of an IRN or moustached parakeet - it has a squeaky high voice which once or twice didn't sound bad. I know we have a couple of Australian members who have lorikeets and I remember one saying that they had the ability to aim their poop at you if you ticked them off. Beautiful birds with a really really interesting tongue but having poop aimed at me was a thought.Hahn's have higher pitched voices than the larger macaws but I haven't heard either really scream. Large ones call and it's loud but a lower tone. Not sure what lorikeets sound like.

Ditto! Cleaning up poop is one thing but dodging liquid darts would be quite another!Well, their poop is more liquidy too since their diet is mainly nectar. Poop squirting all over walls was what made me take them off the "possibles" list!
I have jokingly told people that if a sun is sitting anywhere near you and lets loose with a good scream you might have a nosebleed.due to the pitch.I have a friend with both. The lories are a shrill loud and the hahns are a high pitch loud just not quite as bad. Both are still loud birds but I found the lories to be much more vocal. Again looking up videos help determine if you can handle a noise. You will see that loudness may be factor but there are also certain tones and pitch that some birds can make that will drive you up the walls. I would rather walk by screaming macaws than screaming suns. The macaws are louder but the pitch on a sun is like nails on chalkboard for me.
