This post will unveil the top loudest birds in the world!
Most of us have experienced keeping a pet bird at home.
We all are aware that most birds make a lot of noise.
Some are very loud and irritating to Human ears.
Some birds make such pleasant humming that their sound feels nice to the ears.
Birds adapt to their environment. In noisy cities and towns where there is a lot of the hustle and bustle of transport, birds make sounds at their loudest to get noticed.
Like humans, birds also communicate with their families and partners. When they have social gatherings, they are the loudest; their noise has no comparison with humans.
The hearing ability of birds is more sensitive than that of humans.
It is probability that the louder birds can produce damage to their hearing abilities.
In this article, we’ve shared a list of the top ten loudest birds in the world.
1) PARAKEET
Like many other birds, Parakeets don’t have the habit of screaming.
But these birds are the loudest when it comes to whistling and their chit-chat with their mates. This can be heard from a long distance.
A Parakeet’s typical whistle and chip are between 65 to70 decibels.
Despite being such a small pet bird, their whistles may reach up to 111 decibels too.
Parakeets are the loudest in the daytime, but at the same time, they are the quietest birds at night.
They relax and produce calming sounds at night while they enjoy their sleep.
They have a morning singing routine that can be heard from faraway places.
2) ECLECTUS PARROT
Eclectus parrots are very easygoing pet birds that are found in homes.
These parrots also don’t have the habit of screaming.

They even like interacting with their caretakers.
But at the same time, if this parrot feels the need to scream, it can be one of the loudest birds found.
Their distinctive loud honk can be startling at some times.
Usually, they don’t like visitors. They may feel uncomfortable and make a loud noise.
Eclectus parrots may scream so loud that people around them may feel it hard to bear it.
3) PEACOCK
Peacocks are known for their beauty and their display of colors, but at the same time, their repeated sound can be very irritating.

Peacocks make such a loud noise that their sound can even be heard from a distance of five miles.
Their sound may cross 100 decibels and even above.
They are the noisiest during the mating season.
For the rest of the year, they may be quiet at night and noisy during the day.

6) MEALY AMAZON PARROT
Mealy Amazon parrots are one of those large green birds considered calm.
