The Screaming Parrot: audio resource library

[Feather]

It is really barebones at the moment and I have more files to upload when I have the chance to format them correctly, but in the meantime I wanted to share what I've started with all of you.

The Screaming Parrot

This is the home base of the Screaming Parrot project. The goal is to collect and provide audio...

thescreamingparrot.tumblr.com

I hope it gains enough traction that it can become a valuable resource. If you'd like to contribute, you can also send clips to me right here on AA.

Lol, I played the first one and scared the cats...

 

[TheBirds]

This is SUPER COOL! A clever idea indeed, @Feather I'd love to provide an audio clip of my Lovies (before anyone else foolishly thinks their small size must belie the volume of their calls), what's the best file format? Must it be a single bird or can it be multiples in the recording?

 

[BirdWorld]

I'd be curious to hear a sun conure and cockatoo. I have met a moluccan but she was pretty quiet surprisingly...

Single bird is preferable, but I'll also be posting audio of flocks. I can use any audio or video file type.

Next time I go to the bird store I’ll try to get a recording of Rebecca (greenwing) or Clifford’s (U2) screams
Rebecca is very loud but the many tiels in the store always calling are usually more earsplitting than she is
(Deeper sound vs high pitched sounds)

The tiels don’t make a lot of noise. Oreo whistles and Nacho sometimes follows him/her along. They don’t yell/make really loud calls often, but when they do it leaves the very slightest ring in your ear for a few seconds.

Kiwi rarely yells, and even when he does it’s not that loud. It’s much louder when two budgies are having a scream fest

Sun conures are SO loud! They used to have sun conures at a pet store by me, and everytime I went in they'd scream and scream and scream... and I would almost get a headache...

How do I give you monaco's distress call? I put it on ig to link here.

 

[Circling]

Then, there's the GCC smoke alarm call.

 

[Ripshod]

Does it have to be a scream? It's not a scream but I have a great recording of a budgie bonding and (ahem) getting intimate with a mobile phone - twice!

Nope, any pet bird sounds are good so long as you're okay with them being released under creative commons. The secondary purpose of this library is to allow people to use the audio in creative projects.

So long as it's a format I am able to access and listen to, I can rip the audio.

Can't wait for some Amazons to join the noise-fest!

I just uploaded audio of Jeff doing his car alarm impression (his springtime favourite, always a hit with the ladies) and some general afternoon screaming
