screaming

Hey! I have a blue-eyed cockatoo who‘s been with us for 7 years, adopted when he was around 2 years old. We have a dedicated open space in our backyard which is essentially just a room-sized cage where he spends 90% of his time there. We‘ve always struggled with training and the idea of...

So.... I got a ringneck from a pet store about a month ago. The store was going out of business... He was the only bird that was available other than budgies(originally I was planning to get senegal parrot but he was sold already). I was told that IRN is a he, less than a year old, handfed and...

My oldest, Sammy (age 10, black wing jardine's parrot) is and has always been a handful. Now, I know that all parrots must be watched and that they are all very demanding. All parrots scream and are loud. All parrots bite. But he is on another level than I have ever experienced. -He is very...

I know there's a bunch of threads here about this but I still would like some tips for my personal situation. I just got a 3 month old green cheek conure, it's only her second night home so I don't expect this to stop immediately. She's already very attached to me, she spends most of the day...

Hi, my IRN is 3 yrs now. I have taught him plenty of things. He used to talk well and he would talk to himself in the mirror but now he has stopped doing that. He hardly speaks a word now. This behavior started when i left him for a week. He was not alone, he stayed home with my father like...

Hello, Hercules has gotten into the habit of constantly screaming. He used to scream in the morning when I gave him his breakfast and at night when he was ready for bed. But now it has started to become constant. I’m a bit stuck on what to do, I’ve tried treats, he’s fed a healthy diet, he...

I have a 5~6 year old alexandrine male (who i suspect to be a ringneck hybrid), who i got last year as a rehome. i know nothing about his previous owners/care other than that they have had many types of birds, and would frequently rehome/cycle through birds when i first got him, it wasnt as bad...

I’ve had my conure for about 10 years now, for nearly four he’s been off and on screamy, lunges and bites, actively chases after members of the family, puffs up and grumbles as he scuttles across the floor looking for ankles or even other pets to attack. I went away for an extended period awhile...

Hello, yet another new member here! I recently adopted a green cheeked conure, Echo, (unknown gender yet), and am ecstatic with them. They are not yet tame, but are not fearful, and accept bigger treats from my hand. They seem very eager to learn. Their age is somewhere between 6 months and a...

Hello there. Let me preface this by saying I am trying my damn best right now. I have a conure and a cockatiel, both males, with which the conure is about 8 months old and my cockatiel about 2 or so years (unknown, tbh). They bonded, but I have to keep them separate because my cockatiel will try...

Cochran used to be very tame. Now he screams a lot and acts like he’s always wanting to fly away from something that frightens him. He’s always on alert. He drives me nuts with his screaming. Ideas on what’s going on with him?

Hello everyone! I am so frustrated and decided to seek help here coz I don't know what to do...:cry: I have a green quaker and he is 1.5 yr old. I work full-time so I was worried that my green quaker would get lonely when I'm out for work, so I bought a companion quaker for him a month ago. The...

Hi, to start off, I'm rather desperate on trying to find a way to help discourage my eclectus from screaming. I live in Singapore, in one of the many skyscrapers here. I'm totally unsure of how my eclectus' condition is like as I found it while it was lost (it probably flew away from its...

Hi, so I got a catalina macaw a few months ago as a gift (well shes mostly my grandmas parrot, however my grandma is not so happy she had been given the parrot without asking since we have 3 dogs) and she screams a lot. If someone is on the phone, she screams. If she is by herself, she screams...

Okay so I have a baby Quaker 3 months old (20 weeks old) and I've had him for maybe a little over a month now and I was wondering how long it takes them to get used to their owners? He's very skittish and doesn't let my hands by him, he won't step up unless I have a treat and it's a wood dowel...

Hey guys! I got a 6 month old hand raised pionus, Kiko, about 2 weeks ago. He’s a really nice parrot, I already adore him, but he screams…a lot. It started after 2/3 days after bringing him home and has gotten worse ever since. He only screams when he’s out of his cage. Its a loud honking...

Hello, I have very young Eclectus (~4 months old) and she always lets out a few loud screams when she hears any beeping (turning on the aircon, microwave, etc.) Now, it isn't much screaming and I don't mind it much, but it's very loud and I presume it's because she's afraid. Is there a...

Im sure this topic has been discussed many times over but im new and not the best at navigating the forums. I recently got mango and shes awesome but she constantly screams while in her cage. I have seen many different suggestions but nothing is seemjng to help at all and sadly my wife is...

Hey fellow parronts. I'm at the end of my wit. I got Navi about half a year ago, and she is about two months older than that. Bonding has had its ups and downs, as expected, but overall she's grown on me and I would never want a different birdie than my quirky, screamy lady. Thing is...

Hi All, I have an Alex who is about 7-9 years old. We adopted him about 3 years ago, and have worked with him extensively during that time. He is a very loud boy who screams when I am home, expecting to be out of cage whenever I'm around. Having said that, I have been forced to work from...

My 5 yr old sun conure, Mojo, always wants my undivided attention. With other people that she likes, she is mostly content to just cuddle or sit with them and groom herself. But whenever I have her out of her cage, she always wants me to be actively scratching/petting her, taking her outside...

I adopted a 6 year old male indian ring neck :blue2: named pluto who has had a rough life so far. His first home was a parrot hoarding situation where he was likely also abused, when he was 1 my sister in law bought him and since then he has been in her spare room with a quaker. In those 5 years...

Hi all, First off I just want to say I've been using this site for a while and it has helped tons! I am now at a point where I feel my problem has not already been answered in terms of my specific bird and situation. I have had a female GCC since about July of last year. She turned a year old...

Hello all! This is my first time posting, and wanted some advice for my white-fronted Amazon. Her name is Captain America, and we adopted her about a year and a half ago. She's basically our baby, and we love her to bits and pieces, and she loves us! (From what we can tell.) Our main issue is...

Hey everyone! My Alexandrine, Mozzie, is around 3.7 years old. Normally she'll screech in the morning and evening, but stays fairly quiet or just does chatting vocalizations in the day. She recently went through the beginning stages of puberty, but seemed to be settling back into her routines...

Hello everyone, Please don't judge me.... First let me tell you about myself and my bird. His name is Tango, he will be 4 years old next April. He's a "parrotletosaurus"! Lol As for myself, i've had a couple of fids before. Animals are my life! I don't remember not having some type of pet all...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but have come to read as a non user for a while. I have a Senegal parrot, whom my family and I rescued over 12 years ago. We're not sure about age or gender. He can range from sweet to noisy, as it seems normal for the species. Lol. However, there are several behaviors...

I have an approximately 5yo IRN named angel. I’ve had him for about four years and I’m his third home. His first home was a breeder and his second home couldn’t keep him after several months due to a disabled child. I say this because I don’t know if this is partly why he is so attached to me...

I currently have a cockatiel and I've had him for a week now. From what we've been told he's a month and a half old. He's currently going through weaning as we are handfeeding him but there's something that bothers me. He keeps screaming. After being hand fed he continues to scream. If he is...

Hi there! I just adopted a green cheek conure on Wednesday. She is very used to me as I work at the store I got her from. My question is, I live in an apartment, and I don't want her screaming while I'm at work tomorrow. It will be the first time she's home alone and I don't know how she's going...

Hey there, After enjoying our green cheek conure for the last few years, we had been looking into adopting something bigger. Friends that manage a parrot hotel gave us the opportunity to adopt a 3yo eclectus named Jos, who's previous owner was moving and sadly couldn't take the bird with him...

Hi guys! My boyfriend and I purchased a rescue Senegal around 7 months ago, and we have been having a lot of behavioral issues that just keep getting worse. We are told that she is 20 years old, and lived all of her life with the same owner until he passed away. The daughter took her and that...

Hello, My GCC Cosmo is usually a very well behaved bird and is quiet whenever we are hanging out or she's playing with her toys, but any time she is in her cage she screams and screams unless I either let her out or whisper at her very quietly. The problem is that i live in an apartment and...

He is so tame and well behaved until my girlfriend enters my apartment. If he hears, sees or even just knows she's in my apartment he will scream for attention. This is actually his behavior around any female friend I have brought to my place. He can care less if any of my Male friends are...

Hello! 2 weeks ago we adopted a 12 week old hand reared baby green cheeked conure. We did our reading beforehand, so knew what we were getting ourselves into, but our little feathered friend will not stop screaming, and this is really taking its toll on us. When we are in the room with him, he...

GIF OF PEANUT. PLEASE LOOK Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet WHY IS HE DOING THIS? I am trying to slowly train my Peanut through the cage by hand feeding him, talking, singing, and reading to him. In a previous thread, I stated that I was moving to fast exposing him to new...

I recently created a detailed thread on my experience with my first time ever cockatoo. In the thread I discussed that I was probably moving too fast letting him out his cage to explore the room he was in and having him go on my bed. This is a cockatoo that was very rarely out of cage due to...

Hi! So I will try to keep this concise. I grew up with birds (Quakers and African Grey), but its been many years. I am new to the Eclectus breed. I was looking to adopt a bird here in UAE (Abu Dhabi, I'm an American expat), but couldn't find any and then I saw this adorable Ekkie in a pet souq...

My mom bought a baby Jardine parrot for my dad 6-7 months ago and he was sweet to everyone at first, then one day he decided he hated strangers, then my dad, then me and my brother, now he only likes my mom. My dad is a little butt hurt about it but the rest of us are okay with it but now he's...

Hey Guys!!! So I have a 8 month old female (got her at 3 months) . Just up until about a few weeks ago, she's been a quiet bird for the most part... she will squawk occasionally when she gets excited and talks to herself a lot during the day ( I work from home so half the time she is with me...
