Squawking, but only at me!

[Piptheparrot]

Hi All,

We have a 14 week old hand reared Alexandrine who has been with us for almost two weeks. Pip only squawks at me, LOUDLY. There is no aggression, he will chose me over everyone else in the house and fly's to my hand every time when Pip is out of the cage, much to the annoyance of everyone else. How do i correct this loud calling? Pip is literally silent or very quiet with everyone else, until i come into the room. Thanks in advance for any wisdom and tips.

Meet Pip

So what you saying is you have a beautiful bird and complain about contact calls to get attention. Yes the bird is pretty, in fact if you can't stand the noise I'll take it.


Seriously it's young and is expressing itself the calls will die down once you get a routine over a few weeks/ months.

This is all normal. It's a contact call and will diminish...you're fine.

Yeah, it's not a complaint, more a worry that ingrained behaviours may be promoted by us responding in the wrong way. I am fully aware that Pip is beautiful, and not for rehoming. Thanks though for your kind offer
