lovethatgrey Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I am strongly thinking of purchasing ear plugs. I wonder if any of you have already purchased them. There are times that I feel that Emma is going to make me deaf at some point. Especially when she decides to call out very loud while on my shoulder. Now that Spring time is just around the corner she seems to be MUCH MUCH louder and excitable too.:whistle: So in the spirit of protecting my hearing I must find some excellent quality ear plugs. Any feedback appreciated. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Sorry to hear about your poor ears. My Grey is quiet. One of the reasons her name is "Whisper". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Josey is fairly quiet also, she has her times when she is more vocal but they are not when she is on my shoulder but since greys are individuals I can imagine that some are loud. Sorry to hear you are resorting to wearing ear plugs but you do what you have to, wear the ear plugs and ignore it and maybe she will quit.:whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Yes, some are very loud at times. I have the same thing happen with Dayo at times when he is on my shoulder and my wife walks in the room. :pinch: I just grimace and bare it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovethatgrey Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks for the sympathy guys. Emma isn't constantly LOUD in fact she is pretty quiet but there are moments when her calls really catch me by surprise and yes especially when she is either on me or very close. She started talking since she was 10 months old and now she is 1 year old since yesterday. I'm not complaining but I do wish to preserve my hearing. Here is a video of her afraid of the shadows on the ceiling. and one of her horsing around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VABU41KGFmE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovethatgrey Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well I've purchased my ear plugs. I purchased them at a store that sales hardware.. designed for those who work in construction. They are pretty comfortable and very very cheap. Mine are not the disposable type. Both of my parrots watched me insert them in my ears and seem pretty puzzled. Oh well! I am actually wearing my ear plugs right now and am patiently waiting either of my parrots to call out somehow... but they are quiet like bunnies. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sounds like I should consider myself lucky that Ana Grey is a very quiet little girl. Good luck with the earplugs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 uh oh..Since they seem so interested..you know they are going to try to dig them out of your ears to play with.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 My thoughts exactly:woohoo: :whistle: :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I've used earplugs around Dorian when I'm trying to ignore and extinguish a loud and obnoxious noise he's discovered. Just in the last few days he's been playing with bouncing the sound of a really high pitched scream off the concrete block wall behind his cage. I may be reaching for my ear plugs again soon. My sympathies to you and your ears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovethatgrey Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Here's an update. The ear plugs are great.B) I will be using them regularly and often. There is no reason not to especially at certain times of the day. My Emma is a yakker. Her yakking isn't loud at all but her practising of new found sounds can be quite passionate to say the least. Sometimes I get the impression that she imagines that she is at the top of a mountain and she is just calling out so that she can hear her voice bounce off of my wooden floors.:woohoo: I really don't want to stifle her in any way so for now this seems to be a great compromise.<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/03/09 04:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have never had a problem with Tyco being loud which kinda suprizes me. Fergie screams at the top of her lungs first thing in the morning for about 10 minutes she gets the dogs howling because she's so loud it sounds like I'm in the middle of the jungle sometimes when Fergie Gizmo and the three dogs get going. I don't think Tyco likes it any more than I do so she doesn't scream at all ever she talks allot though and tell Fergie to be quiet and the dogs no barking. I usally stop all the noise by putting the dogs outside it makes Fergie mad she says no its not fair like I've spoilt all her fun but at least it shuts her up.:laugh: I have never thought of earplugs sounds like it might be a good investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
