Thank you all for your replies, I am glad to hear that there are others whose greys make the same noise. I will try to post a piture of Jake soon. Jake is the second older bird I have adopted. My last bird was blue front amazon and he was 25 when I adopted him and I just loved him, unfortunately he passed away in June and boy was that hard. I was planning on buying a baby double yellow headed amazon in the spring but when I was asked if I would take Jake I couldn't pass him up. He is a sweet bird and loves to give kisses, but he is content on being in his cage and I would rather him be out of his cage so we are working on making him feel comfortable outside the cage.
