What parrot from this list is your favorite?

“Apartment parrots” *puts macaw in thumbnail* good job

I don't live in an apartment, but I'm watching this... (but I can't resist watching these videos)

Really wish there was a Blue Head Pionus or a White capped in a shelter or a breeder nearby. They really are rarities, but I can dream!

Haha as soon as i saw the title of this video I knew you'd mention budgies.

To potential parrot lovers, take this video with a grain of salt. He said a lovebird is great for apartments and only score 3/5 on loudness scale. Lovebirds are incredibly highly pitched and their screams will pierce your ears.

Very informative video...great job!! I own a red rump parrot. They are about the size of a cockatiel, their calls are like whistles and they come in variety of colors. So I find them perfect for apartments.

Bourkes and Lineolateds are the best apartment birds. Rarely, a lineolated might be a squawker, but bourkes are never too loud. Hand fed Red rumps are usually quiet but can be aggressive to other birds. Budgies are low volume but chatter constantly. All of the other birds on this list have the potential to be annoyingly noisy, even parrotlets. Lovebirds are shrill. Cockatiels can have a LOUD whistle. Moral: if you live in an apartment, you're taking a risk getting a bird.

My favorite is cockatiels!

I have two macaws for a while and they made a lot of noise outside where they were open to sunlight and other elements. However, I recently moved into an apartment and was thinking about what to do or how to reduce the noise levels if necessary. Honestly speaking, I thought they would be noisy but I am surprised they were very quiet. I think you just need to keep them occupied outside of the cage with enough interaction. (This is just my take on it... all birds make loving companions, you just need the right mindset to work out the situation, and it will be A-OK)

Here since before 25 subscribers. Glad to see you grow man. From your Advices, I've got 13 birds and about to get the Blue Headed Pionus.

Budgies definitely can do great in apartments, I've got a flock of four and even my loudest (Harold) can't be heard outside. His voice carries through the whole apartment, especially when he wants to be heard (which is often, he's an especially chatty one), but for the most part, the sound doesn't bother the neighbors. I tend to put them in pretty big cages though, even with the fact that I give them a lot out time outside the cage (often times the full day if I'm not busy), just because they are active and love to be able to fly around a lot. Plus all the food dishes, my four will get into the occasional food squabble if there's not ten million food dishes (Harold's food very motivated). They do get a bit screechy though, Canary (she's a parakeet, I just named her Canary cause of the shade of yellow she is) has a very screechy high pitched voice, especially when she gets loud.

This guy is sick!!! Subscribed!! All the way!! I love this guy’s videos!!!

Your vid’s are very informative thank you💕

I was dreaming about a loverbird, but after adopting one I had to return it back just the next day. It's shrill was so insane that I was able to hear it in every corner of my house and if the bird was on my shoulder - my ear was ringing for a few minutes after a scream. So I got PTSD and now get a shiver every time I hear a loverbird scream - even if it's in some quiet youtube video.

My conures are soooo loud!! You could never get away with their shout tone is so loud

I live in a fairly large apartment. So we got a caique. I’d recommend it for people with large apartments. Thanks to ur advice on caique review. I got a caique, he passed away of PDD though. But I will get one soon as the bornavirus outbreak ends in my region.

Hi! Im so happy u posted this, i want a birb with My dad. I have one at My moms, and I love it!

Very informative!

I have 3 parrotlets and used to live in apartments with them. I would also add that if noise is of concern you should stick with just one bird (and you better have enough time to devote to it). My birds at times do a type of contact call to each other that can be quite loud. Female birds tend to be less vocal than males though personality of course varies from individual to individual. But this is also a great reason to adopt an adult bird where you can find out before adoption if its personality will work with your lifestyle.

Great video and I always love to see a beautiful pionus, but what about Bourke's parrots? 🪶

Hey where were the lineolated parakeet? Last month we adopted two and we are so obsessed with the little ones. They are only a little noisy for two hours a day and otherwise they babble quietly to each other. We also live in an apartment and our neighbors don't hear them at all. I think lineolated parakeet are the small version of Pionus, very calm, not loud and not nibbly. I am a big fan of your videos, you have a similar parrot preference as I do. When I get enough experience in handling my birds I will also get two bronze wing pionus. Here in Germany this species is widespread and not so expensive, Germans love quiet birds. Can you make a video about your birds? How do they get along with each other, which was your first bird? Does your girlfriend have a favorite bird? What routines do you have etc.? Greetings from Germany

I don't know. Whenever I hear the budgies they are pretty loud to me. I would imagine that my score would be 5 as frequency and 3 as loudness. But yeah, I am not a parrot expert, or bird expert, never owned any, but if someone has it (even on youtube video) or there are in the petstore they are non-stop talking. I am thinking - wow, people on youtube always recommend budgies as the most quiet parrots, but I would be pretty surprised if I had never hear budgies and I would get them thinking they are the most quiet. I am team cockatiel all the way, with their cute beak that looks like they are smiling. Cockatiels make a single beep from time to time. But I did hear some that their beep would be hearable for 20 meters at least.

My family has a Sun Conure, she is the most amazing feathery friend, super cuddly, but so noisy! I am looking into leaving the familial nest myself and moving out. I will definitly adopt a parrot of my own, but I'll be in an apartment so looking up different - less noisy - breeds... Thanks for your input!

For me the noise isn't the issue, but the fact that I can't find a single rental situation that allows ANY specialty pets. Places that say they are "pet friendly" I have found just means "cat and dog tolerant." So unfortunately until I can afford to BUY my own house, I'm just going to live vicariously through your videos of your parrots.

Mine lovebird is to talkative. He cannot be quiet for a minute. Even when he is flying around and playing. 😵😩

I wish I could find a bronze wing. They're so hard to come by :(

Didnt watch yet, betting GCC's are on the list

Budgies are weird. My grandma's budgies are loud as hell but mine is really quiet. I got him because I thought he'd be loud enough to wake me up

I used to be able to hear my lovebird from way up the street. I live in an apartment

they are my fav...meyers senegals and brown headed..the best,,I would love to try a Pionus.

Agreed

Omg I had a Senegal and I LOVED him but he was loud af he would scream a lot, and the high pitched shrill scream is no joke.... but he was also abused in his first home and had a lot of anxiety and stress bc of it so maybe that's why he was louder

The budgies is debatable 😂 play video games with my buddy who has like 4 and all I hear are them 😪

Could you please make a review about lovebirds as pets?

My male pacific parrotlet was super loud and screamed more frequently compared to my conure.

My budgies scream but they sound coot lol

... Yeah, 🥳 another awesome video. 👏🏼☺️💕✝️

My granparent's senegal screams constantly. Lol!

What are peoples opinions on ring necks as apartment birds? I only have people above me nothing either side and the ceilings are very high. Does anyone keep them themselves I’m sure they have there moments but can imagine them being quite enough. Based on some I have met

I have a pair of lovebirds, i know this question might be dumb to ask but is it ok if they'll ride an elevator? I mean we will live at 41st floor and in gives me anxiety by thinking of it. thanks for those who'll answer.

Hi there I have a question are Vision bird cages good for a green cheek

I liked your presentation but wonder about your frequency scale: if budgies that talk the whole day through are 3 who is 5? 😂

I have a senegal that was hand feed bird, on the cage interacts and seems nice, but he jumps on you and attack by no reason... I never did nothong to him, I have 2 A> Greys and cockatiels too and no problem with any of them... But the one that needed to be the easiest is in the end the more difficult :(

I OWN A SUN CONURE EVEN I LIVE IN APARTMENT . I LOVE SC

Honestly lovebirds are probably the noisiest and loudest for their size

Unfortunately my greencheek can be excessively noicy screaming for over 2 hours straight

Do cage suggestions!!

My Rosyfaced Lovebird always makes noise and too much naughty. She disturbs me during my study or in other work. Her habit is not good. How can I make her a good polite bird ??

I'm surprised a Linolated parakeet wasn't on this list.

Miss my meyers parrot

What bird was on your shoulder in the beginning of video? Was that a caique? What are your thoughts on that species?

Wait are those animals in the background dogs? The ones in the left that were walking

Your thumbnail shows a parrot in a cage that is too small.

Look into bourke parakeets

What about macaws? And Amazones?

What about Jardines Parrot?

Can pionus be trained to free flight?

Meanwhile my parrotlet is louder than my sun conures and quakers and alllllll day long 😂

How is your caique noise-wise?

FYI the chapter titles have several typos in them

Do you clip your birds wings?

I disagree with your number one. I think you should replace Parrotlet with a Linnie (Lineolated Parakeet). Linnies are one of the quietest apartment type birds. They come in an array of colours (many more hues are being developed, but Europe is far more advanced than North America). And for a quiet "apartment bird" many can talk. In my experience, 75% of the better talkers end up being males. A Linnie is about the same size as a Parrotlet, possibly a few grams lighter. When comparing the two species of birds, Parrotlets are labeled as assholes when compared to the sweetness of Linnies. It seems Linnies are not as widely known by the general public.

You forgot zebra finches!

I just wanna say don’t get a bird thinking if is going to be quiet or loud all birds are loud! And if you think all birds are the same, that they going all to be quiet all loud well you got the wrong point. all birds are different and, that’s why you should never give stereo types to them because if someone gets a love bird by watching this video and they like oh he said they don’t chirp as much and then the bird is the opposite what’s going to happen to the bird will get probably or rehome or sold so think on what you’re saying.

why not a caique

second

U

Hi I have to disagree with you I have an amazon parrot a yellow nape amazon parrot and he is very quiet. I have my amazon parrot for 28 years so i had him his whole life time.

tell me why my parrotlet is louder than my green cheek

My name jeff

Not conures but parrotlets

Nice Voice. Too many hand movements. Tone it down a little. Not everyone feels the same about what parrots people like. People look at other so called experts, not just 2 or 2 people suggesting ideas what parrots are good. Do your homework. He is a great guy. Not always on point with all parrots. Each parrot is a little different. My Lovebirds personalities are so different. My Lovebirds have been quiet. The more you have, theore the sounds. It really depends on the Lovebird. Peachface is the most Gentle Lovebird, not as bitey. They take some time to get acclimated to you. They are all afraid of their new home at first.

y'all are sleeping on linnies

Budgies are harder to deal with than Lovebirds. They need to be interacted with. My Lovebirds have been easier for me. Costs have gone up. Do your homework. Some way over charge. I goty Lovebirds for $40. It $50. Not w the sellers want $100. Yo $250. A pet store selling for owners thinking they will get $350. That's way too high.

You are too Hard to giving marks

Your list loses credibility if it lacks either parrotlets or linnies. You left out the latter.

Quit moving your arms and hands so much. It’s very distracting !!!

This is so dumb 😭

I’m going to have to say it really depends on the bird. They are all so different- even some of the typically loudest ones can be quieter than a noisy parakeet! And vice versa.🤷🏻‍♀️

I used to be able to hear my lovebird from way up the street. I live in an apartment
