Nanday Conure Screeching:

Nanday Conures screech for many reasons.  They may be happy to see you.  They may be looking for a mate.  They may also be screeching to manipulate you into a behavior.  For example, does your Nanday Conure screech when you place him back in his cage? 

Does he screech when you walk out of the room or away from his cage?  If so, you must ignore the screech.  Returning to the cage or back into the room only serves to reinforce his behavior. 

Make sure that your Nanday’s screeching behavior isn’t caused by boredom, lack of nutrition, too small of a cage or any other environmental issue.  Remember that your Nanday is an incredibly social and animated parrot, occasional screeching may simply be his way of communicating with you.  However, the screeching behavior can be modified with appropriate training.

Nanday Conure Biting:

Biting behaviors among Nanday Conures are generally an act of boredom, aggression, or merely an overzealous hello.  Nandays are social birds that thrive on interacting with their family.  A beaking greeting may be simply that and your Nanday Conure may not know that he’s putting too much pressure on your skin.  However, a bite can be just that, a bite and that behavior must be eliminated before it escalates into a very aggressive bird. 

The first step to eliminating biting behavior is to determine why it is happening.  Is your bird beaking or is he biting?  When does he bite, when you take him out of the cage?  Does he bite when you’re playing?  These types of bites may be overzealous beaking.  Do not react to the bite by yelling, hitting, or jerking your hand away.  These actions tend to reinforce the behavior by creating frightened and aggressive birds.
