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.

Fit
Noise tolerance is required.
01
How to act on this
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.
Before you decide
- Can everyone in the home handle loud calls?
- Do neighbors or shared walls make noise risky?
- Can you provide daily training and enrichment?
- Can you avoid rewarding screaming with instant attention?
- Have you heard adult Amazon calls before choosing?
Next best moves
- Hear adult Amazon parrots before committing.
- Build a sleep, foraging, and training routine before noise problems start.
- Choose a quieter species if loud calls would create conflict.
Common questions
Are Amazons louder than conures?
Many Amazons are very loud in a deeper, more powerful way, though individuals vary.
Can an Amazon live in an apartment?
Usually not a good fit. Shared walls and powerful calls are a risky mix.
Can training stop Amazon screaming?
Training can improve routines and reduce problem screaming, but normal loud calls remain.
Do Amazons talk instead of scream?
Some talk or mimic, but talking does not replace loud contact calls and excitement sounds.
