Question:I live in an apartment where the cage will probaly be in my bedroom, will it work or would a lovebird be better?
Answers:
They can stir up a ruckus when they want too, but I don't think their sounds are particularly piercing and I doubt they'll bother the neighbors at all. It would be possible for the neighbors to hear the birds though, so if they are real jerks or you're trying to keep a secret pet, it may not be the perfect choice.
Keeping them in the bedroom may pose a problem because there will be scattered seeds and poop around the cage. The bedroom needs to be large enough that they aren't getting seeds or poop into your bed, on your clothes, or on your desk. They should quiet down at night for you to sleep and you can put a cover over their cage if you need to take a nap. Another thing to consider is that parakeets are super social and putting them in an area where they can interact with everyone and see what's going on is really best for them.
I can't compare them to a love bird because I don't know anything about love birds. I do know that parakeets are great pets and are very cute and loving. The more attention they get, the more enjoyable they are.
I have two handtamed parakeets that stay upstairs in my sons room and I cant hear them at all when im down stairs. I dont think they are too noisy and they are really nice.
It really depends upon the bird and how you train it. In general, they're not too loud. If yours starts being noisy or need other training tips, please visit my website or email me through my website http://www.cockatootrainer.com/...
Parakeets sometimes have their high peaks however they
aren't anything that of parrots. If you don't want noisey birds i recommend the smaller birds. trust me I've had small birds for many years and just adopted two parrots from someone and plan on returning them for one of two reasons one they are very vocal.
If by parakeet you mean budgies, they are definitely ideal pets and not too noisy. They occassionaly get moody where they might make a noise similar to "tcheh tcheh tcheh," but it is not terribly loud, and they usually only do it when they are irritated. My Andy used to do it when he was trying to say a new word and not getting it right.
The only other semi-loud noise they make is when they chirp to call for each other. They may do this when you walk out of the room or if you take one bird into another room and leave his buddy behind.
Most of the time they just sing, which sounds sort of like the burbling of frying bacon or a brook mixed with a chirping sound.
Parakeets are definitely preferable to lovebirds with respect to the noisiness factor. Lovebirds have a very piercing shriek. But beware! Parakeets sometimes like to mimic other birds. If your parakeets were around other birds, they might imitate those sounds. My brother got a lovebird, who sometimes shrieked almost all day. I moved into an apartment one weekend when he had been especially obnoxious. I sat down next to Angel, my parakeet, thinking, "finally, a nice QUIET house," when all of a sudden I heard the familiar lovebird shriek.
both are noisy...t. If you want noise free get a gold fish..t
