Hi,
I got Wally and Eva when they were around 24 days old and she was 18 days (different clutches). He was larger and more developed, he could walk and preen, new a few sounds. She was a little slower, and didn’t know how to do much besides plop. She had to learn to stand up properly, walk, and find her voice. But when she did, oh boy! Wally makes these sweet little sounds, he’s got an array down now. But she seems to have one note, which is scream squawking. Now, I get the wanting the attention or being hungry but this little girl screams for about 5-10 min after being fed. She is VERY needy to Wally and sometimes when he is excitedly exploring or running around, she will scream and try to corner him to cuddle. He will go back and try to “feed her” or comfort her and he looks like a mix between slight annoyance haha, a bit of concern but definitely confused. I don’t feel as if she is unhappy or stressed. I noticed that before he was able to make a variety of sounds, he just stuck to a screech as well. Maybe we need to wait for her to outgrow? I know many people who’s birds are a few years old and still do that. I’m not so bothered by it myself, I’m aware they are noisy, but I don’t want her to stress and I don’t want him to stress. Again, this is after she is fed and happy and sleepy. She doesn’t even seem to know these noises are coming out haha like she is just in a squawk trance. Any thoughts or suggestions?
