My sun conure, and his non stop squeaking nosies.

[quanure]

Well, my sun conure will not stop making little squeaking nosies. I don't really mind it, i just don't know why he is doing it. He is almost 9 weeks old and I just got him. I know he is not hungry because he eats all the time and his crop is always noticeably full. I let him eat grapes, seed, a little bit of formula, and peanuts and he loves it all. Is squeaking about every 3 seconds normal for these birds? I just want to make sure he is okay...

it's a baby thing! my bird still squeaks occasionally, i love it. i snuggle with him on the couch and he'll squeak at me and make all sorts of funny noises. when i gently hold his beak on either side, he bobs up and down really fast, thinking i'm feeding him <3

if the squeaking is driveing you nuts, wait til hes in full voice. suns like to express themselvs in a loud way.

Depending on the way he's squeaking, he might be begging - he is very young and baby suns are voracious eaters. Or, he might just be vocalising in a baby fashion. My Jenday Xaf still squeaks and he's nearly a year. It's usually when he's sleepy, because otherwise his voice peels the paint in the house lol.

haha. i don't mind the squeaking, it just never stops and I don't get why he's doing it. He does it when he is happy, sad, hungry, tired, bored, playful, everything lol.

Yes, my 10 week old Sun does this as well. It's just a baby noise, and she will do it no matter what mood she is in. But I really get her going when I scratch under her wings and her chest.

And if she starts preening my back hair, she starts a happy grumble. It is so adorable!
