I Hope Kiwi Is Happy. She Is Listening To Rock Crushing You Tube Videos…

She has gotten hooked on them, they helped her to calm down. She makes the noise when she wants to sleep and also when she wants me to play the videos. She was having a big problem with anxiety from December-February. The smallest things would trigger it. If she heard a loud noise on TV or in the house, if we turned on the ceiling fan in living room, if we carry a ladder or other large item past her cage. She would get upset and carry on for a half hour or more. She seems a lot more settled now so I’ll keep playing the videos, but not all the time. One every once in a week. Those videos are filmed in India at gravel quarries. She imitates the rhythmic sounds of the motors used to pull the rocks into the rocker crusher and the motor of the rock crusher itself. Strange what parakeets learn to like.

I wonder if she thinks the ceiling fan is a predator.
My parakeet used to like rocking out too the vacuum cleaner.

@Adrift That is what I think, it’s an instinct that a hawk may be flying over to hunt for other birds.

To her, it must sound like deep toned music! AND I think all birds are very musically oriented. It is part of their "language".

@4meAndyou If I am tired they help me fall asleep too. It’s like white noise but louder.
That is impossibly cute!😆🤗
