It's not easy to ignore it but we have been trying. Hopefully if we can teach her to say something new she will favour doing that over the squeel. Here's hoping anyway. Thanks for your advise and well wishes.

My Wife and I have bought a week ago a 7 year old African Grey female. She seems to have settled in very quickly as I was told they don't talk until they are happy with their surroundings. She started talking within 3 hours of being here. Unfortunately she also likes making a high pitch squeel very loudly. Not a short one that we have been told is nervous or unsure of something but one that lasts about 2 seconds and really hurts our ears. Is there any way of training parrots to not do something? She also cheers for a team that I don't support so hopefully we could retrain that too, but for now, stopping the squeel would be a great start. Otherwise she is cool.
