Hello Brenda, but if you prefer Bren then Bren it is, and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Dakota.
Dakota sounds like a good bird but he is starting to drive you nuts with an ear piercing sound, it may very well have something to do with the hardwood floors since it is something he wasn't used to.
For lots of useful information please read thru the many threads and do ask any and all questions you may have and we will help you in any way we can.
The only suggestion I have for the problem is ignoring it, I know that is hard to do but if you give him any reaction when he makes that sound that is entertainment for him and will make him do it all the more for the reaction.
We would love to see some pictures of Dakota if you would like to share some with us.
