No pet bird is silent. If you need a quieter home, research canaries, zebra finches, ringneck doves, and Bourke's parakeets before parrots. Avoid conures, cockatoos, macaws, Amazons, and other loud parrots if noise would create conflict.
Choose by the loudest normal day, not by the quietest moment.
01
Quiet is relative
A canary song, dove coo, finch chatter, and parrot contact call feel very different in a room.
02
Noise problems are often routine problems too
Missed sleep, boredom, isolation, and inconsistent attention can make normal sounds harder to live with.
03
Choose the sound you can like
The right bird sound should be acceptable on a tired weekday, not just charming for five minutes.
04
Do not punish normal calls
A bird calling like its species is not misbehaving. Choose a different species if the voice is too much.
