pugwash Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi there Since purchasing my Grey a couple of months ago I have noticed that when he stretches it is accompanied by a rather loud "creaky!" noise I have listened with interest to this over time and I cant work out whether it is the wings itself or a vocal noise..Call me stupid lol Does your bird do this? Or does he need oiling?:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaxtersMom Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I haven't heard a creaking noise but when Baxter stretches he makes a yawn sound just like me. It's hilarious. :laugh: I'm amazed how he know they go together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Its a creak for sure lol, it happens when he extends his wings behind him for a full on stretch as he pulls his wings back it makes a real rusty door kinda sound;) My last grey didnt do this its weird lol My last grey used to flap his wings and say "youre pretty!" which I took as a compliment lol but clearly he had picked up on what we used to say to him when he did it Thanks for the responses though Judy and Baxters Mom;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yes, if you listen carefully you can sometimes hear a creaky noise when they stretch their wings. Mine all do this just before I cover them on a night. Hope this is what noise you mean Hayley or mine might need oiling as well:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thank God theres more than one "creaky!" I was having visions of some genetic disorder or something. Still least it gives me something in common with my bird. What with me becoming an arthritic old bint myself lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane08 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 We have 2 creaky birds. They both do it when they stretch each wing. It is so cute to hear. Ours now for some reason really exaggerate the noise as well when they stretch. It was the first noise our male made when we got him nearly 2 years ago.

pugwash Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think you are right Jane they just totally exaggerate it. It really makes me laugh when Elvis does it Glad to hear its not linked to anything bad also just needs a bit of wd40 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane08 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 At xmas we were away and they both had to sleep in the bedroom with me and in the morning our male would hear me move and then he would stretch and make the creaky noise and then look at me to see if I was getting up. When he realised I wasn't he started to stretch again and really exaggerate the noise and then look again to see if i was getting up. I love that noise it's like they are saying I am so content and relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
