Anmlhggr Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 So lately I've noticed that (I think) Woody's voice sounds different. I say I think because he has also learned some new sounds like my yawning. Could he just be making these new sounds or imitating me in a different voice or could his voice be different meaning he could be sick? Any way to tell? Some things he says sounds different like his honk sound, other things like "Go lie down! I love you, go potty" etc all sound normal. He is still eating, drinking, talking, playing and pooping normally - any ideas? If he is ill, what causes voice change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If he is still saying certain things in his normal voice I would think he is mimicing another voice. My eldest grey Charlie talks in about three different voices. From a very low deep voice to a very girlie one. They pick different voices up from people, listening to the television etc, they are very smart! If you are concerned at all or if there is a change in his daily habits, eating, pooping activity etc then I would start to be concerned and take him for a check up at your Avian vet. How long has he been doing this for? Have you only just noticed this? Caroline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anmlhggr Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I noticed several days ago, but my boyfriend assures me he thinks it sounds normal. I know woody does joeys voice and mine, but what I mean is that things he said that were once a high voice are now a lower voice etc which is what concerned me. But again, lots of things sound normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 George does the same ! we can normally tell who he is mimicing but his voice range is really varied I think ! He seems to pick up lots of voices very quickly. Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Charlie has different voices. He can talk very soft and then sometimes really harsh and deep.I dont think it is anything to worry about. If he shows any change in behaviour or not eating check it out but I am sure all is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc96093 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Don't want to scare you but....that was our first clue that something was wrong with our CAG. Please listen carefully without being obvious to breathe sounds in evening when everything is quiet. Then you wil be sure he is playing with his voice!

casper Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hiya tlc96093, What happened with your Cag? I see you are new here, why dont you introduce yourself in the welcome room? It would be great to hear something about you and your grey/s. Caroline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Anmlhggr Pretty soon, he's gonna start saying things in 2 or more voices in the same sentence or series of words. Then he's gonna mix up the words and soon, you won't know what he's doing but I can assure you that nothing is wrong other than that he's becoming a teenager. Think about that young male boy. The adam's apple starts to get obvious. The tiny pubes start growing out. The male imagination kicks in. He starts to see what he thinks are huge biceps. The voice changes depending on whether it's a girl or a guy walking down the street BUT the kid has invented a brand new voice when he has to answer to the school principal after doing some *boy* things with his buddies in class. It's a voice you never heard before and all you can do is think "Oh geez, does the boy have a sore throat?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anmlhggr Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Whew! Thank you all for your quick replies, I like the way you put it Dave :laugh: I will sleep easy tonight to Woodys multivoices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Oh Im sure its normal Alcazar does the same thing.I think he just likes to listen to himself doing different words or noises in different pitches. One day he'll sound like me the next he'll have a deeper voice like Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 LOL Dave, I love the puberty parallel. :-) They do definitely speak in many different voices. My Grey has a voice for me at home, a voice for me talking to him via Cell Phone that sounds scratchy as they do on speaker phone, my wife's voice, my sons voice, my grand daughter and grandsons voice. Then he just has Dayo's voice. :-) Maybe he's possessed by Legion. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anmlhggr Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 lol I appreciate all of your comforting replies, I know that Dr. Mohan (my avian vet) asked me about Woody's voice when I first visited him and he made it sound really important so I might have over read into that.... but now my mind is at peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
