My little Arya just had a rather frightening experience, for me and her. I was busy typing at my computer and she started screaming, as if she were in pain. 
I almost had a heart attack running down the stairs, but when I got there, nothing was there and she had stopped. I checked everything in the cage, literally everything and nothing was there. Well, three minutes later she'd started up again, this time hissing and backed in the corner. It took me a good minute to find what was upsetting her, but I did. It was a fly. She apparently is terrified of flies.
It was pretty big, but it was still a fly. Perhaps she's never seen one before? I'm just glad she wasn't in danger (At least from my perspective). What fears do your birds react to?
