strange clucking noises

[gill]

can anyone tell me why my african grey is making these strangle clucking noises, its like a duck noise and sounds so cute. Its usually when iam stroking him and he also wants to get on my hand at the same time as making the noises.........gill

They have all kinds of little clicking and clucking sounds. Make the sound back as a way of communicating. If you mimic their sounds it encourages them to interact and "talk" to you.

thank you for your reply i will have to practice my clucking sounds !!!! i thort it might be because he was getting a bit excited and a little frisky but im not sure, he is just over 2 now and he talks all the time he is just great the best pet ever !!!

Gill, why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us some about you and your grey.

Dear Gill

Nice having you in our family, so welcome...

Clicking is normal, they invent new sounds every day. It is a nice adventure
