JungleDreamz Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 ok this one is a little wierd, I am not sure how to even explain it really, But here goes nuthin! OK, My 8 month old Grey has been doing this wierd noise the past 2 days, When I hold her she maks "kiss noises" and I give kisses back on her beak, Cuz she always touches my (closed) mouth to give me a kiss, But then after that, She has been making a whispering noise, Sort of like If you are saying HI in a whisper withought the I, So like if you were trying to teach a little kid what sound the "H" makes, You know what I am saying? Just blowing air, no noise, But she isnt hissing...I just dont know what this is, haha Any idea what this could be...She does it when she is feeling very lovey wich is early in the morning and right before bed, You know sleepy times, she is sweet and lovey all the time, but EXTRA cudley, at these times, and that is when she is making this weird sound... So, I hope that was understandable, haha...Maybe someone here will be able to give me some insight on what this could be. Even if you dont know, let me know, Just so I know I am not the only one, haha THANKS!

judygram Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hannah, I think I know what sound you are talking about as I have heard Josey do it but I don't really know what it means, maybe some kind of contentment sound since it usually is when they are pleased or happy. Maybe some of the more knowledgeable members will enlighten us as to what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Harvey does this too from time to time too, but it usually involves he's excitement over food (you'd think I didn't feed him). The first time he did it I thought he had a chest infection!! So paranoid I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra902 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 merlin makes the H sound too. usually right away when i come in to say good morning. it is only at a good time never a stressful one (he has a certain tweet which means 'fruit fly alert') so i take it as a happy/contented/all is well sound. it is not in response to anything i say, so i take it as a good morning greeting or approval. now that i hear it is something other greys do, i am thinking it is a grey thing not just a merlin thing. happy sunday! -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Lyric does this too, when he's especially happy. Sometimes when I take him to look in the mirror, he really loves looking at how pretty he is and hearing all about it from me. At first when he did it I thought he was trying to say something or trying to whisper. I've never heard my younger grey Sadie do it though. You are right though it is a little hard to describe but I know exactly what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Charlie does this aswell like a huffing noise.I think its just a pleasure sort of sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpittman Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 it sounds to me like a "heavy sigh" - a contented sound that all is good in the world and everyone is relaxed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Dayo pants, which almost sounds like a baby human that looking for the breast when its feeding. He only does this for Kim. It is a very endearing sound. Not sure if thats what you are describing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra902 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 the best way i can describe it in human language is if you whispered the word 'wheat' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecodweeb Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 It may be some kind of coo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleDreamz Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Thanks so much for all the replies, I cant believe their are others that do this too! Pretty interesting! Yeah it sort of sounds like whispering the word "wheat" for my grey it sounds a little more like she is whispering the word "how" And she REALLY blows her breath when she does, Its like she wants me to smell her seed/pellet breath, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleDreamz Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 So I went to let Calypso out this morning and I grabbed the camera, And I got the wierd noise on video, Here it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Never heard that one before. :-) Sounds like someone making the whoosing "I Tired" sound. Anybody body there make that sound? Now that I think about it. I last remember hearing that from Tui on youtube when his owner asked if he was tired from working hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Do you whisper to him it almost sounds like he's trying to whisper. Darius whispers and its the cutest thing i've ever heard in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleDreamz Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Thats why I am totally stumped, No one here makes any noise that sounds like that, Well that I am aware of, I will just have to pay attention more closely... Anyone else ever heard this before??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Nope! Definitely not the noise we were all describing!!! To me it sounds like a sliding door - you don't have a sliding door or alike that she is mimicking do you? It's like one of those radio competitions "guess the noise" - but we get a payout at the end if we are right!!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JungleDreamz Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 So none of you have heard it huh? lol, She is so weird and silly, We dont have a sliding glass door...But I never thought of something like that, Its a good guess! Well if I figure it out and someone gets it right, I will give you karma, lol, But I dont have any money or prizes to give out, hahaha So keep them coming, GUESS THAT NOISE, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Interesting, the first one does sound like a sliding door, the second sounds like the whispered how noise! Alfie started squeaking a couple of months ago, it took us a fortnight to put it together with the fridge door opening! You'll probably hear the noise one day and it will dawn on you where she got it from. Untill then it'll just bug you!! lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 It sounds to me like the sound my instant message application makes when someone signs on or off. Do you have AIM on your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleDreamz Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 No I dont have Aim, And Im sorry I should have noted that the second one is me trying to mimic her, lol..The first one you hear is her, The other isnt...Sorry...So pearllyn You are right on the second one, It is a human whispering the "how" word...hahaha So I gotta give you karma for that!!!

Jingles Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 is it a light switch? I had a bird that would make the light switch noise... although, ours was a squeaky noise...and I had thought someone was in the house, using the restroom!

ecodweeb Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Oh, my greys make this noise. I'm not sure what is is or what it means, but both of them make it. I think it's some kind of coo. wind blowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleDreamz Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Really ecodweeb?! Thats pretty cool...I wonder what it means if it is just a "grey" noise, and not something she is mimicking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
