What does a Red-rumped Parrot sound like? Red-rumped Parrots make a variety of bright, high-pitched chirps and whistles including a shrill “suweet-weet” given both in flight and while perched. They also make squeaky single note calls, tinkling and rattling sounds as well as sweet tumbling chattering phrases and chortles. During courtship, males chatter constantly while displaying and fanning their tails.
