Why does my parakeet make crunch noises?

Question

she/he makes this when i put it back in the cage. i'm in the process of taming. it sounds kind of like the crunch noises when it eats except i know it doesn't have anything in its mouth.

Answer 1

my gf's bird kept making coughing noises she took him to the vet twice before she realized he was mimicing her smokers cough. ROFL

Answer 2

mine does the same thing ! i am taming mine to! no clue what it is ,but lemme know when you find an answer

Answer 3

My birds do that alot, they seem to do it just before going to sleep.

Answer 4

It means they're comfortable and probably about to take a nap.  It's the bird version of purring.  Since your bird isn't tame yet, it's probably relieved to go back in the cage where it knows it's safe.

Answer 5

Some birds do this as a comfort thing. It can also be that he is trying to grind his beak down, which is normal. Either way, it's nothing to be concerned about.

Answer 6

I think all parekket types birds do the clicking noise my grandmothers did.Maybe nerves I dont know.
