Song
Parrots are not known for melodic songs. Their vocalizations are typically complex series of squawks, screeches, whistles, chirps, and calls. Some species can mimic a wide range of sounds, including human speech.
Calls
Loud, harsh squawks and screeches are common contact calls, used to maintain flock cohesion or alarm calls. Whistles and softer chirps are used for close-range communication between pairs or family members.
When they vocalize
Most vocal during dawn and dusk, when flocks are moving to and from roosting sites, and while foraging. Also vocal during social interactions and when alarmed.
