Greys pick up everything and if you are reacting to the noises they will do it more and more, I dont have that much experience with Amazons but they are very noisey in general but i no alot that are hormonal and being alot noiser than usual, try to ride it out and it should settle down, with the grey take it away from the amazon for an hour or so and try teaching it some new words and noises.. Sorry not much help |

Whilst I was safehousing two greys, neither of which were great talkers, my CAG Norman started to immitate their chirps and whistles and stopped talking so much. He also picked up some of their 'alarm calls' which used to drive me mad! The safehouse boys went after three months and Norman started talking again and stopped the annoying calls.
I have a ringneck here for a couple of days and it only took half an hour before Norm was immitating the little guy's chirps and whistles! I thnk that is just greys! |

Thanks for all your advice, sometimes we need to revisit what we are doing for our birds so it is in their best interests. I will let you know how i get on. Most of the day i am at work. Its when im off sick or in the house all day that this all starts, must be to do with routine i presume. xx |

My TAG also makes a lot of noise one thing he does that is really loud is screams! it drives me crazy and hurts my ears. As someone mentioned above when I responded to the noise he did it even more, now when he makes that sound I just ignore him and he stops straight away 
His latest annoying sound is when I get up early to go to work and go downstairs my cats start to meow for food one of them does it realllllyy loud and now my TAG copies her but of course he has to do it much louder and for longer bless him

Thanks again x
Ive been thinking about things, ive got a spare holiday cage when Dusty and Gizmo go to my friend's house. Ive got it in the living room working with both. I stay in a flat therefore both have their main cages in the spare room, the bird room.
Im making an attempt to spend more individual time with both. Im back to work so they are getting back to some routine although i would say any routine is 50/50 with my two.
I dont expect to eradicate Dusty's Gizmo impersonation totally, but im working on Dusty not making so much ammie sounds in my company. She is talking but mostly in her own company. Gizmo my ammie being hormonal at the moment doesnt help lol |

I looked after my friends baby Grey Bella for 10 days while she was away, Bellas was the sweetest bird you could meet, she doesn't really talk and just whistles and chirps! Bella seemed afraid of Pepi when she first arrived so I moved her cage to the study and Pepi is in the dining room (opposite ends of the house) While I was at work they would call to each other and Bella quickly picked up Pepis flocking cry. When my friend returned, you can imagine how delighted she was to find her sweet baby transformed into a shrieking grey amazon! Oops! |

I just registered and first I saw my own problem. Yoda is my grey friend, he talks and sings and whistles, but few months ago he or she ( i didn't make DNA testing) started to produce such iritating sounds - like a giant rat squiks, and few others. I don't know where he pick it up, he knows it is not something I like and she says - Toto stop. Toto is an indian ringneck and never so loud as Yoda.
Now I see there is nothing I can do about it.
Is it possible that now when he is almost 3 years old (in May) he became hormonal lunatic and it will stop soon? Or, maybe I am too much of an optimist...
Sorry about my english, it is not my language |

A lot of the high pitch whistles/ screeches that CAGs do are their natural "wild" calls, that they would use to communicate with their flocks and there is very little you can do to stop them Lol.

Thank you, shaz, it is helpful indeed. I thought maybe it is osmething he picks up while I am at work, or something I provoke unitentionally. The only thing I can do is accept it now.
I teached him to whistle when I am out of the room and we whistle to one another , it was very nice and acceptable behaviour.
Now I had to think and find something to "unteache" him other two sounds with something not nice, but nicer than these his innovations in vocabulary. |
