Hi Keito

Welcome to the forum. There is lots of information here to help you with your new grey, particularly in The Nursery Room.

 

Here is a thread about a grey with a similar problem to yours which may answer some of your questions.

Why don't you introduce yourself and your grey in the welcome room?

We would need to know more about your grey before we could begin to help you so take Siobhan's suggestion of introducing yourself in the welcome room and then we will go from there.<br><br>Post edited by: judygram, at: 2008/09/01 16:00

Welcome Keito!!

 

Your Grey is still very young at 15 weeks old. I can only assume you brought him home when he was 11 weeks from the information you posted.

 

They do screech and cheep quite a bit when young and in need of something like, attention, food etc. They will also do so if something is frightening them.

 

You will really need to pay attention to the cause and effect principal here. When does he do it, what is he near, what quiets him etc. These will lead you to the cause and what he wants. :-)

 

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

thank you all for your help. very much appreciated. keito was not sqeeling as much last night, we interacted with him more and sang to him and he seemed much quieter and went to sleep faster too!
