Lucinda has replaced screaming with one word.

So Lucinda, my blue fronted Amazon, has replaces screaming with just saying, "What?!" She will say it pretty loud but it's much better than screaming. I never even trained her to do this. For some reason Lucinda wants to settle down and be a housewife. No more raging screaming parties for her.

Speaking is sooo much better than screaming! Definitely progress

When she screamed did you respond by asking her, "What?" Sgt. Pepper seems to have picked up the same word and I believe it's because I always ask her "What?! What do you want?!" in a teasing voice. Now she grumbles "what, what, what" all the time. Lol

That could be the reason. It's been one week without screaming.

Huh....Hold on my Zons are screaming ! LOL.

I know exactly where your coming from....Have 2 Blue fronted Zon's and the morning screaming frenzy when they see something or a wild bird in yard can be deafening.

My oldest BFA...will get the party started then rest join in...grey and Senegal....Then I walk into their room and say what the Heck???? My oldest Zon responds " Hi Guys...do up up, come on come on hurry up" and my Grey responds with " whatcha doing Boo boooooo?" LOL....I'll lose my hearing before you know it from these crazy loveable birds.

But screaming before coffee in morning is a good way to wake up....NOT!......My wife has also replaced screaming with one word or maybe two...."SHUT-UP !!!! LOL.....
