Common background Cockatiel Screaming

Cockatiels are generally lovely pet. They are very bright and curious, and the variety of whistles and tweets they can do is often fun to listen to. If Cockatiel screaming is a sound you hear, however, you can run for earplugs and more importantly, wondering how to stop it. The first thing you must do is determine why your Cockatiel screaming. Three common causes are physical discomfort, stress and boredom.


If your Cockatiel's scream is something unusual or recently developed then verify that the physical factors immediately. Make sure there are no signs of illness or any damage. Are your Cockatiel molting? If yes, then it could be experiencing discomfort feather. Molting is when your Cockatiel shed old feathers and grow new ones. This can be done two to three times a year and is especially prevalent in spring. The new feathers grow your Cockatiel called blood feathers, and they are extremely tender and can be very painful if touched or moved the wrong way. As your Cockatiel Preene although it will often frame these feathers and even cause pain. Molting is an unpleasant time in your bird's life and can cause it to be very irritable. A mist of water sprayed on your bird's feathers can be very soothing during this period. If your bird likes to be handled and petted then at least continue the habit, but just be very careful and gentle when scraping around the new feather growth. If physical discomfort is the cause of your Cockatiel's screaming then when the discomfort is relieved so hopefully your eardrums will be relieved for good.


Stress may be another factor in Cockatiel screaming. Cockatiels can often be creatures of habit and changes in their environment can often enjoyed them. Check and make sure that nothing has been introduced in your dog's life can cause stress, something as simple as redecorating a room can cause stress for your bird. If a stressful change is something that can not be helped so please be patient with your bird and give it some time to adapt. Spend a little extra time with your bird and talk to the sedative can go far in helping the situation.


The third and perhaps most common cause of Cockatiel screaming boredom or the desire for attention. Cockatiels like to be stimulated, and if they do not have things to keep them amused and active, they can turn to misbehavior. Check and make sure the Cockatiel has things to keep occupied. Rotate toys around to keep things fresh and new. If you need to leave a lot then play some music for your bird to listen to.


Break a Cockatiel of screaming can be difficult but not impossible. Try your best to ignore your bird bad behavior. To give any attention to a Cockatiel bad behavior will often make it wishes to continue, because it feels it has been taken over. If your Cockatiel cries, ignore it as best as you can. When it finally quiet down then switch attention to it and reward it in another way. Hopefully, over time, will involve the good behavior with attention and rewards, and will recognize that bad behavior will get nothing more than to be ignored.
