Large Parrots can be very, very loud. We had a small Indian Ring Neck Parrot years ago and although it was a whole lot smaller than Patty's beautiful bird, it was loud. The bigger they are, the louder they can be.
The only birdie pic I got today .... a Mourning Dove that had been feeding on the ground until the dogs startled it so it flew to an oak branch where it perched for a few minutes.
