Marti's strange noise... (video) making sure its a good thing not a mating thing! - BirdBoard.Com - Parrot Message Board & Pet Bird Owner Forums

So Marti likes to sit on my chest or arm right in front of me and he will make like baby grunting noises and give me kisses on my face. I don't pet him or anything, he's not rubbing, regurgitating or anything, he just sits there and makes this noise at me.

OK so I get out the camera and he does the regurgitating move LOL but hopefully you can hear the noises. The bird noises in the background are Alfie lol.

Ignore the big blogs of unmoving fur in the background affectionately known as Jasper the big fat poodle and Emmett the walking rug.

(Might help if I attach the video before posting

Both mine make the same noise, either when they're just sitting near me or when they come running up to me

Meant to also say as far as I'm aware it's just their way of telling us they love us!

Oh good!!!

That video was too cute!!! I think it's an adorable noise... just figured it was better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks!

Yep, it really is the cutest noise! I get it in stereo when I open their cage every morning and I love it!

They do it any time they haven't seen me for a while, even if it's only been a few minutes since they last noticed me!

We were supposed to pick up one a few weeks ago when we brought Rudy home but the owners decided to keep him

. I just think it would be so much fun to see them interact and talk to eachother!

I think Mr. likes Marti! I played the video and just stopped dead in his tracks and stared at him the entire time. I tried playing a "related" video of another bird and he looked at me weird and went back to running all over me, the sofa, and my lap top. LOL
