Screaming
Parrots - Parrot Tanmtrums & Noisy Parrots.
My advise is simple... If you have sensitive ears or can't stand loud
noises don't adopt or purchase a large parrot, specially a Cockatoo which
can create a nerve wrecking situation for both you and the bird; at times
ending on parrot tragedy.
Always read and educate yourself as much as you can on the type of parrot
you are trying to adopt.
For some of us parrot owners, having the joy and blessing to parent a
fatherly friend particularly a large parrot such a macaw or cockatoo comes
at times with screaming loud parrot noises.
Parrot Screaming can be natural response to his/her genetic environment-
inner-natural clock or just plain parrot tantrum.
Observing my own parrots; my harlequin macaw and my Umbrella cockatoo
I can tell when theis screamming is a natural response to the environment
and when is tantrum induce.
Parrots are like 2-4 yr. old children, with the intelligence
of sharp little critters, they learn quick, they have recollection of
things and behavior and will respond negative to punishment .
My Umbrella Cockatoo is a white fatherly ball full of love and parrot
cuddleling, however from the beginning of times My Umbrella cockatoo will
have his screaming sessions some mornings and specially every evening,
when the sun goes down he starts to get little anxious. He dances around
from his play pen, or large parrot cage ...this is his usual ritual every
day, then after few minutes of dancing and bowing his head up and down
his crest gets all upright and start his 15- 20 minutes screaming time.
He has done this even before I adopted him, he comes from the Animal Hospital
in Temecula California I worked years back, and faithfully for my cockatoo...every
morning and evening was the same parrot screaming time; so I knew exactly
what I was getting into when I adopted him. In the other hand my Macaw
doesn't scream as my white cockatoo, she loves to sing really loud for
about 30 minutes or more however if she wants attention or sees me busy
with someone else and she decides she wants attentions right at that moment
(yes, just like a 2 yrl old child) then she goes into those screaming
tantrums for a while.
One of my rescued front-head amazon
parrots was so bound to me that every time I'll leave the room will trigger
a series of long screams until my return ( I was the third owner for same
reason) My Amazon parrot learned many words during his time, songs and
dances but his screaming behavior never went away until he passed away
of old age.
Most parrot owners can leave with this type of disrupted peace in their
homes; while other pet parrots is too painful an unbearable to their sensitive
ears. Never punish your parrot, physical punishment will not work and
will create aggression and will foment biting attacks on your feathery
friend and/ or you can injure parrots fragile and complex skeleton.
What I do through all this years as
a parrot owner when my Cockatoo is telling the light of the day good-bye
( on his loudest screaming parrot way), I closed all windows and shutters
in the parrot room, lower the tv volume and I leave the room. Most of
the time after few minutes he is done with his parrot screaming ritual,
he feels good and he is ready for playing time.
If is tantrum base scream I usually go and talk to them, stay a while
with them and the later I will give them something new and fun to chew
on or a treat ( don't reward bad behavior by giving them the treat right
a way) they do learn quick! and will scream every time they want a fresh
treat..Yes, I do have my ear plugs as well! if a migraine is hitting me
while the parrot screaming is going around; will leave the house to run
some errands, go to the garage and do some laundry load or use my ear
plugs. Cheap ear plugs can be found on the 99 cents stores.
After the screaming crisis has passed away you can enjoy back your feathery
friend; after all remind yourself why you choose to have parrot on the
first place, parrots are smart, lovely critter, full of fun and energy.
Enjoy & care for them!
Please always use your best judgment, after all your know your parrot
the best!.
