What parrot from this list is your favorite?
I haven't seen it all yet, but I'm quite sure they will be accurate. I'll edit this when I see the whole list. Edit: probably green cheeks
I like green check conures
... The apartment above me for 3 years had a Cockatiel that made a short morning song, and a Meyers Parrot 🦜 that made a noise about every 3 months. Both were very quiet compared to my Budgie. 😆💕✝️
Green cheek or parrotlets
Red Rump parrots are also great for appartments, they may have their loud moments but are usually not so high in the decibel range. Just takes alot of effort to gain their trust. Would really love if you could do a video about them
“Apartment parrots” *puts macaw in thumbnail* good job
I hate it but clickbait works...otherwise I'd never get any views.
@@Fivesaflock Honestly I found it hilarious! 😂
@@Fivesaflock honesty is a virtue
@@joey6353 she's definitely an anomaly cause you don't dream of having a macaw that's not in a house in the middle of nowhere far away from other humans lmao
I've got a macaw and he's loud all the damn time. I love him anyway.
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!
I don’t know where you live but there is a breeder close to Tampa, FL. On Facebook she’s Patty’s Pets LLC . Her website is pattyspetbirds.webs.com. Hope that is of some help.
I don't live in an apartment, but I'm watching this... (but I can't resist watching these videos)
Haha as soon as i saw the title of this video I knew you'd mention budgies.
LOL, barking budgie, too funny!
My favorite is cockatiels!
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.
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.
This guy is sick!!!

All the way!!
I love this guy’s videos!!!
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.
Your vid’s are very informative thank you💕
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)
I have a severe and a scarlet, And I live in a condo! They’re relatively quiet most of the time; but I did soundproof my walls just in case. My neighbors are really cool tho
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.
13 birds, now THAT's a flock! Glad to have you with me on this journey!
@Fivesaflock yeah man. I've 6 Budgies, 4 cockatiels, 2 Rosy Faced Lovebirds and a Greenwing Macaw.
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.
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.
My conures are soooo loud!! You could never get away with their shout tone is so loud
Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
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!
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.
You gave it one day….?
Hi! Im so happy u posted this, i want a birb with My dad. I have one at My moms, and I love it!
Him/her* don’t say it there a living creature not an object
@@alimery07 what?
@@junyah4152 u missed the joke
they are my fav...meyers senegals and brown headed..the best,,I would love to try a Pionus.
Great video and I always love to see a beautiful pionus, but what about Bourke's parrots? 🪶
... 👍🏼 Bourke’s ... great suggestion. 😁💕✝️
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.
Depends I first got a male cockatiel and he kept flock calling what is pretty loud. So I got a female and now he stopped flock calling. Sometimes they flock call together to birds outside lol. For the rest she is quiet or chirps softly. I notice my male cockatiel is more quiet and calm now. I live in a studio apartment.
I’ve never seen any parrotlets for sale, I’m in CA
@@Sckat28 Look for "bird expos" in your area. They are events that happen periodically through the year where breeders get together in a location open to the public (usually an admission cost). I'm in Nor Cal and have seen them here. I went to one a couple years ago on the peninsula and it seemed like parrotlets was the most common parrot there. But then again, I went to another in Lodi recently and there were only 3 parrotlets in the entire place and they went within like an hour of open.
They are out there. Be patient, and don't rush into it and I hope the right one for you comes along.
@@CACTASTIC thanks that’s super helpful! I’m in the Bay Area too.
@@CACTASTIC just looked and there’s one in San Mateo on July 18!
Mine lovebird is to talkative. He cannot be quiet for a minute. Even when he is flying around and playing. 😵😩
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.
Was a budgie mom in high school (so long, long ago, LOL)! I would agree with noise frequency of 5 (motormouth would be an apt description for most budgies) and loudness of 3 (although there could be an infrequent louder outlier). I live in an apartment and am waiting for 1-2 rehomed budgies from my local parrot club -- I anticipate that my budgie(s) will be less loud than the TVs or music I hear when walking the hallways.
Am also considering a rehomed 'tiel.
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
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
Those can also be great! There's definitely other small parakeets I could have added. Might make another video on more parrots you can own in an apartment down the road. Lucky you live in Germany. You'll love BW Pionus! And definitely want to do some vlogstyle content down the road. Just right now my priority is educational content.
... Yeah, 🥳 another awesome video. 👏🏼☺️💕✝️
Agreed
Could you please make a review about lovebirds as pets?
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.
I OWN A SUN CONURE EVEN I LIVE IN APARTMENT . I LOVE SC
I wish I could find a bronze wing. They're so hard to come by :(
I knoooooooow 😭 At least there are other Pionus out there you can check out.
@@Fivesaflock yess haha! there is an aviary near me that has some blue headed ones now but i have heard that they can be more prone to developing a screaming issue so im a bit hesitant!
@@miriamwest4096 All parrots can develop a screaming issue. Just a matter of training. I would recommend interacting with the parrot you're looking into first though to learn if it is a parrot you're interested in or not.
There's this breeder called JJ Parrots that has pretty good reviews, I believe they ship internationally.
I have a breeder 20 minutes from me who has bronze wing and dusky. No waiting list and they are a lot cheaper here then in the US. The problem i am having is convincing my SO to go with a pionus over a cockatiel lol.
My male pacific parrotlet was super loud and screamed more frequently compared to my conure.
Parrotlets can definitely get loud, but their physical small size limits the decibels they can emit. Any parrot can be noisy for sure though.
@@Fivesaflock That's true. I was just surprised how loud he can be if he wants despite his tiny body XD. I really enjoy your parrot reviews! Plz keep posting😉
I used to be able to hear my lovebird from way up the street. I live in an apartment
Didnt watch yet, betting GCC's are on the list
Ur right lmao
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
That’s not a very good reason to get a bird. I hope you’re taking good care of it
@@AGoodHairDay I've payed 850 to build an outdoor aviary 2m×1.5m×2m for him and the other two I got. I am vastly wealthy. I wouldn't have gotten the budgies to mistreat them.
Do cage suggestions!!
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
The budgies is debatable 😂 play video games with my buddy who has like 4 and all I hear are them 😪
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.
I liked your presentation but wonder about your frequency scale: if budgies that talk the whole day through are 3 who is 5? 😂
My budgies scream but they sound coot lol
My granparent's senegal screams constantly. Lol!
What bird was on your shoulder in the beginning of video? Was that a caique? What are your thoughts on that species?
yup it's a caique and you can watch my review on her to get a better idea
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 :(
Hi there I have a question are Vision bird cages good for a green cheek
If I remember, vision cages are generally for smaller parrots like parrotlets or budgies. Dunno if they ever made a bigger one.
I'm surprised a Linolated parakeet wasn't on this list.
Miss my meyers parrot
Look into bourke parakeets
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 ??
birds are naturally playful. If you can't spend time with your bird when you are doing your daily chores maybe a bird isn't the right pet for you.
Lovebirds can definitely be bossy at times. You need to spend more time with your bird to make it happy, then when in a cage, make sure it has toys it likes and you should rotate toys in the cage often to keep things interesting and entertaining.
@@Fivesaflock Thanks
Honestly lovebirds are probably the noisiest and loudest for their size
What about Jardines Parrot?
What about macaws? And Amazones?
U good there are noisy as hell
FYI the chapter titles have several typos in them
Wait are those animals in the background dogs? The ones in the left that were walking
Yeah got a couple dogs!
How is your caique noise-wise?
generally caiques tend to be more quiet and therefore popular for apartment birds. But in my flock, for whatever reason, mine is louder than my conure lol. It's always a gamble as parrots still have their individual traits
Can pionus be trained to free flight?
yes!
Do you clip your birds wings?
Yeah his birds are clipped ( he himself mentioned that on his ig)
@@Keiko.0v0 😔 sad
Meanwhile my parrotlet is louder than my sun conures and quakers and alllllll day long 😂
why not a caique
U
Your thumbnail shows a parrot in a cage that is too small.
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.
Amazons in general are less frequent than say macaws or cockatoos, but most of the time they are incredibly noisy. You got pretty lucky to have a quiet Amazon. Individual personality trumps general traits as always.
@@Fivesaflock hi yes I got pretty lucky to get a quiet Amazon parrot.yes they usually noisy but some amazon parrots are very quiet like my angel.if I ever got a house I would rescue alot of birds.My mom used to rescue alot of birds when she was alive you have a wonderful evening with all of your birds
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.
second
My name jeff
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.
tell me why my parrotlet is louder than my green cheek
parrots in the end have individual personalities
@@Fivesaflock very true
Not conures but parrotlets
y'all are sleeping on linnies
Your list loses credibility if it lacks either parrotlets or linnies. You left out the latter.
You are too Hard to giving marks
Quit moving your arms and hands so much. It’s very distracting !!!
@tomlangam LEAVE HIM ALONE JUST LET GO THAT PEOPLE CAN DO THAT SO SHUT UP STOP BEING MEAN
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
