Lately they've become quite noisy, well it's charlie really. He makes constant noise, sometimes just chattering quietly to himself but several times a day he goes off on one shouting at Lola, not that she takes much notice! :rolleyes:

Like everyone says, this is a normal thing for a parrotlet pair to do!! Kev, two pairs start to sound like little machine guns shouting back and forth, don't they? :lol: It gets crazy especially when they can see each other!! eek I used to have the breeding pairs stacked on top of each other, but now I put Buttercup a few feet away with a room divider in between and they are quieter. It's funny because they couldn't see each other when they were stacked up but this is better :question:

My name is I'll give you a clue	I try to keep mine out of sight of one another as well, there will be times when they start shouting anyway, like first thing in the morning or last thing at night, this is just something that all birds do. The other times they will do it is when you put that dvd in, that you have really been looking forward too.
