Help!!!!

[KalJ]

I hate that I'm posting this.... Im having issues with Flash screaming, please help. He does it for attention obviously. He's just a baby too for info. I've only had him a little over a week. I've tried walking out of room and ignoring and not paying attention until he's quiet. The problem is if he hears my voice in another room it sets him off... so if I'm trying to put my son tk bed if get him ready in the morning flash starts screaming. He also screams and flaps his wings frantically anytime anyone new comes over. I know its bc he doesnt know them. I just want to make sure I'm handling this right so it gets better... Soon.... Lol. I welcome advice PLEASE!!! THANKS!!!

Forgot to mention, he is totally weaned. Eating well, healthy, seems to be adjusting well otherwise....

Is Flash an Amazon?

Its ok, I remember you have a beautiful colour Zon

You are doing right by ignoring him when he screams!! You could also shut the door for a while! I have to do this with Codie! When he screams I shut the door, then open it again when he stops.. I then give him a treat... If he starts again , then I do the same again, etc, etc.

TRy to ignore as much as you can.. I know its not easy, but it will get better in the end. I am not going to say it will stop totally! Codie always screams when I leave the Room, but he knows it will not gain my attention, so after a while he stops.

Is there some one he doesn't like ? Some one who is the "Bad Guy"? Every time he screams,,send in the bad guy. Just stand by the cage until he calms down. When quiet , the bad guy leaves. When he behaves when your away,, praise him and give him a treat. If he acts up,,,send in the bad guy. But do your part and don't ignore him when he's good.

Only people that are the bad guys are people he doesn't know, and they make him scream worse. I turned on classical music tonight at my sons bedtime and he didnt scream when I was away. Maybe this will work?

You just need to give him time... He's a baby and has been with you for about a week...

Parrots are like people suffering from panic attacks... you have to go very gently about everything...

I wouldn't ignore a baby needing attention... They need reassurance just as we do... He could also have regressed, and needing a handfeed at night...

Patience... Please...

He's eating great on his own and he was weaned very early... Maybe too early?

 

[wenz2712]

How old is he now?

I agree with Lene, try offering him one hand feed a day!

I had Codie when he was fully weaned, but he still wanted one hand feed a day and this continued until he was 16 Weeks old.. he then just walked away from it, which is when I knew he no longer wanted it!

I have Villes cage in a separate room. Now he dont scream at all but before I placed him on the cage in this separate room every time he was screaming. He has learned that when screaming he can not be together with the family
