One in a cage doesn't make much noise, in my experience they chortle and
chirrup rather than screech, but a flock of wild budgies in the outback of
Australia can be quite an experience.  When a big flock rises from the
ground their wingbeats sound like thunder rumbling.  And when a flock comes
to drink at a waterhole the massed chirruping is wonderful to hear.
