Comments on: Screaming Parrot – Put An End To Your Bird’s Screaming http://thetameparrot.com/blog/parrot-training-taming/screaming-parrot/ For Bird Owners Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:28:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: Rebecca http://thetameparrot.com/blog/parrot-training-taming/screaming-parrot//comment-page-1#comment-37511 Rebecca Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:37:35 +0000 http://thetameparrot.com/blog/2007/09/15/screaming-parrot-put-an-end-to-your-birds-screaming/#comment-37511 I have a 10 year old Alexandrine Parakeet. She is driving me crazy with her constant screaming calls. She started this every November through February five years ago. I understand that this is her breeding season because she lays eggs in February. I have tried creating tree houses with sheets on her cage and bird stand. I let her burrow under newspaper in her seed tray. She will scurry into these enclosures and quiet down, but as soon as I leave she is back out screaming. It is impossible to have guests in my home!!!!My sanity can not take this-it is hard not to spray her. Please help me... I have a 10 year old Alexandrine Parakeet.

He screams "HELP, HELP, HHHEEELLLPPPPP" every time the phone rings or I start to make a call. I work from home! I have him in the sun room and I close the door a lot during the day because of how unprofessional it is when I'm on the phone with a client and the bird is screaming "HELP" over and over like I'm holding him hostage. He is getting louder and louder and screams longer and longer. He is driving me crazy and making a nervous wreck out of me!! I will certainly try the positive reinforcement when he is not screaming; however, I have to close the door on him when I'm working. So, it's me that's screaming "HELP"!!!!

Mainly she squawks when i'm in the room with her, every 7 seconds really loudly now. she does it first thing in the morning when she gets her breakfast throughout whenever i enter etc etc. if i leave the room she's quiet. I have tried turning my back and walking away only re-approaching when she's quiet and did this for a few hours once, to no avail. I am going out of my mind, the past 6 months have gotten worse and louder. I have tried taking her out and if i get more than 7 seconds of peace rewarding her. Generally she'll be quiet about 10 mins after she's covered up or if there's someone else in the room or i've left for a few mins. i am out of ideas... please help!!

When he starts talking words..like Hi, etc. I go back in the room and talk nice again. I have found that he does this when he's bored. I have moved him to different rooms/picture windows in the house every couple mo's Near the kitchen, living room etc. Since they are very social , I've learned they do not like being alone or ignored, they need to see whats going on. I just need help with stopping him from biting when I start to proceed with arm training..Any ideas ? I’ve walked away from my 4 yr old /Macaw on several occassions, it works.

I ignore him and he won't stop. I've read some articles and used the "no" and "mean face" tactic which worked for about a week. He is back to it again and it is the most nerve wracking sound and very difficult to deal with. I have had him to the vet and she said he is fine and healthy. Nothing in the home has changed. I have been trying to spend more and more time talking to him and have recently been able to take him out of his cage and hold him in a towel (wings are free).

Thank you. This is a great site. It has been helpful with this new bird owner. I rescued this bird out of a bad home and i have been trying to learn as much as possible to make him comfortable in our home. I will have to teach my husband the dont react lesson. hopefully this will help. Patience is not his vurtue. I will also be doing more health checks more often. Thanks for all your hard work to put this together. Wow you just answered my main question. Thank you. This is a great site. It has been helpful with this new bird owner.
