5 month old honks like a goose

[Regan]

Hi everyone,
About a week ago I got a 5 month old amazon. He is super cure but lately we have been hearing him make a goose sound. I just want to make sure this is normal for them and not a respiratory thing. I have an African grey but im not so familiar with the Amazons. Thank you in advance.

Was he around something that made that sound?

My amazon imitates a crow perfectly. He can mimic Asian cuckoo also.

I've heard some amazon baby noises before and they do make a honking sound!

One of my cockatiels makes a goose like noise when he sneezes.

Does he sound like this? If so, he's probably food begging. Make sure to get a weight on him every morning before he eats a lot and consider giving him some soft warm mashy foods. Make sure he's not losing a lot of weight. Mine always like sweet potato cooked soft with some cooked rice and other grains mixed in.

this is more than likely normal, or maybe something different, i dont know. lol my amazon makes a washing machine noises and honks then whistles. He started this like 3 years ago, now he makes a moaning noise...lmao i would literally play movies, music for stuff for him to pick up on...and they decide to pick up on the weirdest things other than what you try and teach them. He also does the sexy whistle anytime my mother in law walks by Lmao who knows..they have their own personality. At times i pray it isnt anything too inappropriate. As when he is hanging out in the backyard, he goes to town.
