Hi my bird's name is Tricksy. Funny i accidentally called my username Tricky.. which is fitting as he is... and i need help with his little psycho bird brain.
You see, i believe he gets plenty of attention. I take him out (which he loves!) As much as i can. To the parks, beach shopping, even short car rides. However if i need to eat, clean, watch tv and have alone quiet (me/sanity) time he screeches. I get so mad. I have even resorted to putting him in his little travel cage in the car and put video cam in there to see if he screeches (but he doesn't.. he eats his treat seed bar, naps and preens)
The only time he's quiet inside with me is on my shoulder, on top of his travel cage (where he has started flapping and preening his wings but for a short time he's happy) or he likes it in the bathroom when i shower or bathe.
I've tried toys (maybe not enough good ones) as hes not very interested for long and I feel he just wants attention ALL rhe time which i can't give.
The good place is on the balcony with a great view of ocean trees birds flying by and he is quiet here mainly ..but i have to creep around inside (which annoys me as i feel he's running the house ) cause if i make a plate clatter or tv is up he'll screech for me.
I've tried the ignore screech and praise when quiet method to no avail. Maybe because i have yelled for so long when he screeches.
