The myth of the quiet bird
Before we dive in, we’d like to clarify that “quiet pet birds” refers to pet birds that are quiet compared to other pet birds. No bird can be considered silent; that’s just not how they work. If you’re very sensitive to noise, a feathered pet probably simply isn’t for you unless you want to spend your days walking around the house wearing noise-cancelling headphones. We think it’s important to mention this: noise complaints are one of the main reasons so many birds (especially parrots) are surrendered or even abandoned every year. You think about it, it all makes a lot of sense. After all, birds are prey animals that tend to exist in social groups (flocks) for safety purposes.
