Why does my baby parrot make strange sounds when sleeping? Is he hurt?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My baby Indian ringneck parrot is about 5-6weeks old and when he sleeps or feels sleepy or he is about to sleep he makes weird sounds. Is he suffering from pain or what because I got him as a baby who fell from his nest at height so is he likely to have got internal injury????

It's possible your parrot may just be making chirpy/soothing sounds as a way to relax as he settles down to sleep, which can be normal. However if you suspect an internal injury from a fall, see signs of illness, or he is otherwise not acting normally it is best to seek veterinary care and a complete exam.
