Do your parrots/bird know you without hearing you eg footsteps movement etc

my husband gets up an hour before me he said this morning “I know when your up birds go mad I swear they know your footsteps”
He always says they are quite when I am at work too
They do whisTle when my husband whistle dogs to go out even on a night


if I walk upstairs they flock call they dont do it with my husband or daughter if I am not going in I just whistle and they are happy again

does anyone else do this or is it just accident when they call ?

what do your birds react too ?

Mine definitely do. Milton and Elvis both know when my car pulls up in the driveway. And neither of them can see the driveway from where they are. Elvis also seems to know when I open my eyes in the morning. Seriously. He will be quiet, I open my eyes- and screams! Now, my bedroom is above where his cage is downstairs. So maybe he can hear me somehow? I don't know. But they all know the difference between me moving around and the fiance. The only one who cares about the fiance is Rosie. LOL. Sweet old man. The rest are like- go away, where's mom? ;):laugh:

Oh yes.

The very SECOND Isadora hears me, she’s screaming.

I don’t know how but she can tell who is in the kitchen, on the other side of a shut door, with her cage covered. She knows if it’s Jay (she makes no noise) or if it’s me (the demonic seagull awakens) :roflmao:

All my birds know who it is before they can see us. My lovebirds henkie and Feanor know hem I am awake too, like @sunnysmom they seem to know when I open my eyes. When I wake up in the middle of the night, after a couple seconde I can hear them moving around and making some quiet noises. That has always been so remarkable to me, perhaps they hear somehow, when we slept in the same room it was ‘worse’. When my partner wakes up they don’t respond.

Bosco does that too! We share a room but all I have to do is open my eyes not even move a muscle in the middle of the night and he'll instantly awaken.

I actually thought my husband was crazy this morning just being his normal scarcest self but thinking about it they do react to me more than anyone especially when I walk upstairs weridly more so when I carry hoover up but I suppose I hoover up mess from night/morning before I let them out change water food etc fill up foraging toys and get their bath bowl
