screeching

[Guest bailey3209]

i dont not to sure what is wrong with my little fella as he is just doing high pitched squaking an screeching

usually when he is like this its cuz he is upset about something but this time i just cant igure it out

iv been changing his food his water he always has plenty o attention a clean cage which he dusnt go in till night time which he goes to by himself

we tryed playing with him leaving him alone and ignoring him but he keeps making the same noises

and im kinda at a loss (he is about 40 weeks old now and we have owned him for nearly 2 months just as a bit of info on him)

thank you guys

A little more history would be helpful. Is this a new behavior? Has something changed in your household, new toys? cage moved? Lots of things it could be, but we can't give advice without knowing mre...

[Guest bailey3209]

no nothing has changed and this is the first time he has been like this

the only differance is the christmas tree that is up but that is in the kitchen im just a very paranoid person with him thats all

a big soft worry wart lol

You need to tell us how long this has been going on. Birds go through phases where they'll repeat noises and other sounds over and over and over sometimes lasting for days and daysuntil he/she finally tires of doing that.

My CAG went through something like that when I put my tree up this year and moved some things around....I thought she had fell or gotten hurt somehow....

My girl can be loud, but it is usually whistles, noises or chatting. Sometimes she lets something rip that is ear piercing. I ask her what that is all about.

I chalk it up to it being like a baby who has found her voice.

hmmm, definitely a tough one! Since Christmas is over, maybe you could remove the tree a little sooner.( just to cross that out as the cause!) Then if she still does it, does she look scared? If not.... I suspect you have a very smart baby who knows how to get your attention! Kiki our Amazon did this as a baby.( wayyyy much louder than a grey!) LOL Once I ruled out all causes, I made sure I didn't respond when she screamed, waited ten minutes then went to get her so she wouldn't associate her screaming with me coming to get her. It worked. Kiki now screams between 3-4pm. She is allowed to scream her heart out, noone will hush her. She appreciates the hour of full release, as this is what Amazons love to do. Nancy

It may very well be the tree, but every bird is different, and vocalize in different ways. Hopefully this will just be a phase for your fid
