A clear bird-care answer

Are Amazon parrots loud?

Yes. Amazon parrots are loud birds. Expect powerful contact calls, excited yelling, mimicry, and seasonal noise. Training and routine can reduce problem screaming, but they cannot turn an Amazon into a quiet pet.

An Amazon's voice is part of the bird, not a flaw you can remove.

What changes the large parrot questions answer

Choose an Amazon only if the home can handle loud daily parrot sound.

02

Normal calls are strong

Morning calls, evening calls, contact calls, and excitement sounds can carry through rooms and shared walls.

03

Season can raise the volume

Some Amazons become bolder, more reactive, or more vocal during hormonal or high-energy periods.

04

Routine helps, silence does not happen

Sleep, enrichment, foraging, training, and calm attention can reduce screaming patterns without removing normal calls.

05

Best fit

Amazons fit homes with real noise tolerance, not homes hoping training will make a large parrot quiet.
