Maine coons are very social.  I can speak from experience my Maine coons love to be around people and are not shy.  They sleep with us and want to be around us at all times.  When we have guests over they rub against them to get that extra petting in for the day.   My Maine coons love to play fetch even!

Maine Coons make a chirping noise.  It is a common vocalisation that is a repetitive ”bird-like” sound. They often chirp and chatter when they are excited, as a way to greet their owner and when focused on potential prey that they cannot reach. Chirping is often also called a chirrup or a trill.
