I know its impossible to know for sure what im talking about without hearing said sound but i can never catch happy doing it at the time.
Anyways happy makes this noise that im curious if its normal.
Its a noise that sounds similar to a sneeze hiccup blowing a rasberry all in one. Anyone know what this is? :huh:

If it's what I'm thinking of, it might be a little birdy sneeze. My bird sneezes every so often, especially when it's taking a bath and water goes up its "nostrils". If Happy is doing this every so often, it should be fine, but if it's a lot more than once or twice every day or so, you might want to take Happy to the vet (especially if there's any sort of discharge).

And if it's not sneezing, then... Umm... I'm sorry to have wasted your time. xD

Never a waste.of.time to respond silly!!!!

I thought sneeze myself but if your looking at him when he does it its a sound he is choosing to make,
Its not an involentary action best i can tell.
I think i may have figured it out. I have a yapper dog ...he has a highpitched yap...whenhes barking his fool head off in the back yard is when happy does it most.
So maybe hes attempting a bark

Oh, that may be it. Lovebirds seem to like to mimic, even though they aren't known for talking... :) If you ever catch Happy doing it, I'd love to see a video of him barking. :D

My lovie has an actual sneeze noise he makes. He learned it from my conures, in the video he does it right after my conure sneezes in the background. The one that does it is the one that only has one foot.

Figured out what sound she's making now! As she was bathing in my hands under the faucet...she pushed air and water out her nose and bingo there was the sound. And now that i think about it everytime she's done it before....she was in front of her water bowl. . So she's cleaning her nose...lol!
