Parrots are not only beautiful birds, they are messy and they can be quite high. Parrots can not help with that. That is what they are, by nature. The large birds such as macaws can rattle the window.
Nearly all birds will vocalize in the early morning, sunup and again at sunset. They will do what their species does sometimes for half an hour give or take a bit. Some singing, some screaming and some clout. Some species shout to locate their flock, or be sure where their friends are. Birds will vocalize as warnings when predators are present, or they were concerned about something. It only makes sense that birds will do the same thing.
An alarmed bird can be extremely vocal. The moment you leave his sight, he can call out. Or he can get high in the morning to let you know that the sun comes up. These behaviors in a pet bird is normal and expected. If the bird is a large parrot they also can be very stress irritating and annoying for you and your neighbors, especially if large in size and duration.
Excessive duration, size and frequency or screaming often show birds are a problem, or are stressed about something, and am just not happy. There are many things that can topple a bird, especially a captive birds. So to find out why a bird cries, the first step. Some things to look for is.
1. Illness or injury?
2. Hunger and thirst, or?
3. Is his new surroundings? Did you move? Have you moved her cage to another room?
4. Inadequate attention. Have you and others have been too busy to give him adequate daily attention?
5. A major change in family members either added or lost? Maybe a new puppy, baby? Have a child leave for college? Did someone die?
6. Fear?
7. Not enough rest or sleep? Too much light, or traffic in his cage.
8. Jealousy? Have you missed the bird because of the arrival of another pet?
9. Boredom? Bored bird is not happy birds.
Assuming a stable environment for a period. Discover the cause of your bird's screaming should be easy enough. If you can remove the first 8 options, so boredom is the likely culprit. Most birds in captivity, bored pretty easy. They eat and perch, call and wait to interact with their owners for a couple hours at least, boring!
In the wild birds spend most of their time in search of food. Sometimes the need to solve problems to get to the food once found. They have a lot more to do than just eat and then have to captive birds. Foraging spend most of their waking lives. Infact foraging for food is a normal activity and should be imposed on all pet bird. One eats bird is a happy bird.
Make your bird food for your food will help keep him occupied when the family can not. With some ingenuity and using a good supply store that is not difficult to obtain. You should be able to find some foraging toys on your supply store. You may have to do a little training in the beginning, but most learn quickly, because there is food.
To help your pet to stay busy while doing what he normally would, unless you are an almost surefire way to stop a screaming birds and keep all the birds calmer. Your bird may know where food is, but he'll have to think and work a bit to get to it. Just as nature intended, too. Beats the heck out of eating, pressed and seated not it?
