Email from Midwest Avian Adoption & Rescue Services (MAARS) Dear Friends, With the first quarter behind us, we wanted to share some of what we’ve been working on and thank you for your unwaverin...
Flock calling is a natural vocal behavior parrots use to communicate. In the wild, flock calls can mean:
• “I found food!”
• “Time to forage!”
• “Storm coming — seek shelter!”
• “It’s getting dark — head to roost!”
• “Where are you? I can’t see you!”
These calls keep them connected and safe—parrots are prey animals, so staying in contact is survival. Bonded pairs go everywhere together. So when you walk away, your bird may call loudly—not because they’re “bad,” but because flock calling is part of who they are. Here Gus voices his opinion when a volunteer walks away. Did we mention parrots are LOUD?
