Ellie.
Senegals have pretty good pipes and their alarm call is akin to the smoke detector going off... in a house with two other bird's Talouse can always make sure she is heard but on the whole is quieter.
Have been working with a brown headed parrot at the shop and although they are closely related to the Senegal, they have a reputation for being quieter and even more easy going. This little baby is just learning how to speak and only makes the quietest of squeaks and clicks to let you know that he's feeling great... talk about a cuddly bird.
I think it depends a great deal on the bird, their respective disposition, and how they are raised and cared for.
Talouse does go to sleep really early and with our days being shorter bedtime has been around 7-8pm while Lucce and Amore like to stay up later (and sleep in later)... Lucce is part owl and will stay up as long as I do and often keeps me company until the wee hours although winter seems to have affected them too.
Our days are about 7 hours long at winter's peak...
