Nico! you should never blow into the face of your pet bird if you are trying to quiet it down. For one it is the nature of most Conures to be very loud. Blowing into it’s face may stop the noise for a second, only because the bird is wondering what you just did and it is not putting one plus one together.

I may no longer be breeding over 150 Parrots anymore but I do have a few Parrots that will live out their lives with us and I have learned how get quiet time when I want it, but you can not just stop the bird from forever doing what comes natural.

Understanding why you bird is yelling is the first step. Once you know that it isnt because the bird is sick, or even may have a blood feather which can make any bird scream its lungs out because of the pain, then I try distractions with various toys, to just talking one one to the bird (not at the bird).

I wish new bird owners would first learn as much about the bird they want to have as a pet. If you are the kind of person who can not take a lot of ear piercing shrills, then talk with a Avian expert to get an idea of what you can handle noise wise, the cost and care needed, how much time you have to spend with a pet bird. There is no reason why you can’t find the perfect pet bird that you won’t regret.

I am in the process of working on my 2nd book that will be different from the first one. The book leans more toward what life is like living 24/7 with Parrots. I have given my whole life working with the unworkable so called bad birds, because I don’t give up on any Parrot unless they give up on life and die. If you have any questions I welcome them, and I am so happy that so many people have read my works in The Tamed Parrot, you can email me at sapphyre@comcast.net

Hi there, I believe that if your conure scream, just blow in his/her face as a reply. They stop soon!

I have been reading all of these questions from people because their parrot is screaming when they are not around. My parrot is doing the oposite. He is an eclectus which are usually quiet. I took him to the vet and it turned out that he had a stomach virus and that is why he was screaming. He no longer has a stomach virus but he screams ALL DAY. He does not give me time to reward him when he stops because he starts screaming immediately when I try to reward him. It is out of control and it is very sad because other than that, he is an awesome bird. He seems happy but just enjoys to scream at the top of his lungs ALL DAY EVERY DAY. Any suggestions? I am about to blow my brains out! Its out of control.

Good info about the screaming. I have a year-old male (I’m pretty sure), who was given to me a week ago. Very loud voice. My husband gets really irritated with it, so I think I may need to have Andreas’s cage in a different room. Small house. Andreas seems to calm down when my old-lady female cockatiel is around, but they can’t be in one cage together–she’s a people bird. Any suggestions? He’s from a household who neglected him, so are there any special things I should try to be aware of?

I gave my umbrella to a husband and wife. I had the bird for three years.
I had her in a room with other birds. I never had a problem with her screaming.
She was my bird i am a woman and the home before mine was a women also.
She took to him fast she really likes him. He called me and told me that she wants him to hold her all the time. When he puts her up she screams. I told him tell her inside voice and walj away. She is also starting to hiss at other people when he is holding her. She never acted like this at my home. I told him we need to nip this and to keep her away from his face and off hi shoulder. Any advice?
