I'm curious if anybody can give me any insight?
There are these two U2s at the rescue I go to... I don't work directly with them, but I do hang out with them on breaks. They don't like people in their aviary ... Mated pair that are very territorial... but will gladly chill on the side of the aviary with you. Often they make this noise and I can't tell what it is, or if it's a good noise or a 'you're freaking me out/go away noise'. I think I have heard other cockatoos make it... My RB2 makes a somewhat similar noise when he's wanting attention and I ignore him.
It sorta sounds like a quiet (human)baby cry? A very quiet squeaky whine that goes on only for a few seconds. It could just be a noise they are mimicking ( it probably is) but I'm curious if those with U2s have heard this noise? I've been wondering what the noise is for a while ( I'm actually worried It mean I make them nervous) and I just got home from volunteering ( and they did it once again) so I figured I'd ask!
