Is this scream “common” for zons?

I know that certain screams are common within a species, for example, a bird hurting or warning the flock of danger. Different screams.

But are there a wide variety of attention screams, and/or is there a particular attention scream which is very common within species?

For example, Archie screams occasionally, and it sounds like a crow. “Caw! “Caw!” Would this be the same scream in other YNAs, the hot three, etc., assuming it’s an attention scream?

Secret does a wicked crow scream. Hate that one.

We encourage pleasant whistles for attention.

Billy and Howard don't do the caw sound or crow. Billy a siren and loud phone ring and Howard does several different sounds when they all get going. It sounds like a puppy whining or he'll randomly scream banana. Howard has a pretty large vocabulary so he usual has something to add when the flock gets excited.

Yeah there are some calls that are species dependent. Ripley's distress call sounds like a sick seagull :lol:
