How old is the bird? A lot of babies will make sounds that dont sound like larger ringnecks.

you are going to have to explain or record it and post a vid so we can understand what a funny sound is as everyones veiw on a funny sound is different.

my Heeki makes this noise just before he goes to sleep at night, it is as if he is grinding his beak, i have looked to see if he has any seeds in his mouth as the noise is similar to when they crack a seed open however he has nothing in his mouth.
Any suggestions, he is only 9 weeks old and we have had him for about 10 days, he is happy, chatters, plays with is toys, loves our interaction and has a huge appetite so I'm not getting that he is stressed in any way.

What you are describing sounds like normal behavior to me.

Hi Amber
I wish I had the answer, my male Lutino frequently attacks my female blue too - mostly over food. The attacks aren't severe though, just a nip. My vet seemed to think it was ok. When we first brought him home he was fascinated with a Lutino IRN that we were babysitting & hardly paid attention to the blue IRN. I presumed that was because he was raised with his Lutino siblings.
When you say "trying to attack" how severe is it?
