My cockatiel screeches that loud, annoying parrot voice and we are trying to find out a way to discourage it. I have found that he frequently does it when my husband & I are chatting in the morning over coffee (he is in same room & that can’t be changed as it’s in the living room). I discovered that MANY but NOT ALL times when he does this if I calmly baby talk to him saying Pretty Bird, Tiki Pretty?, Hello, etc. (these are the words and phrases he says) that he will stop the screeching and start talking back to me these same phrases/words. that will sometimes stop it and sometimes he starts again when I again talk to my husband (I am main caregiver~my bird). we live “up in the trees” you might say mainly on the upper level of our home on river with large raptors and other birds that are his natural enemies so he’ll screech when he sees those flying by & I try to reassure him at those times. Works on and off. Sometimes none of these efforts help at all. Sometimes there seems to be no reason for the screeching. he is permitted to come out of his cage at the end of my work day between 3:30 and 4:30 and he likes to go to top of his cage. Flies over to me, eats dinner from my plate, etc. No screeching when he’s with me but he will do it even when he’s out of the cage. Any ideas? I have at times thought I was going to have to sell him and I DON’T WANT TO DO THAT. He’ll be 2 yrs. old in July and is now going through the natural mating season for birds coo-cooing to the bell & mirror in his cage. Eats the papers on the floor of his cage but at least HE’S QUIET when he’s doing that. Help!

My bird decides to scream when the phone rings or my husband and I are talking together. If we say his name very loud it works for about 5 minutes. Then it starts over.

I have a Australian Rose Breasted Cockatoo that in the past 2 weeks has taken to nipping at his right wing like it itches. He also jumps about the cage and screams like someone is torturing his little crazy self. He is fed and watered so that it is always fresh daily. We talk and go back and forth whenever I am home and not working. Sometimes I may not be able to spend alot of time with him daily as my hours span the full 24 on the daily clock and when I return home it may be like this morning 3am. Now he does not do this with the wife who is home. But the screaming starts soon as I open the garage door downstairs. After watching your ad on the screaming videos, would this be covered in the video? If so I may wish to purchase.
Thank you,

I have a green wing mccaw in my office, I have two problems; 1) he starts sqauking when I get on the phone; and 2) sometimes he won’t stay on his gage and he want’s to wander around the office.
Br the way, correct the spelling in your internet ad, change “stom” to stop.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:07 am
I am not sure how you define screaming. My quaker parrot will squak during some of the day with the door to his room open and shut. The squaking normally turns into talking, then back to squaking. I define squaking as non defined verbal sounds. The squaking sometimes follows a patern and sometimes there is no decernable pattern.
I am not sure if I need you anti screaming lesson or not.

Hi Gonzo is a blue front amazon. He screams periodically if i leave the room. He will scream when i get home from work. But usually settles down if i stay in sight. if i dont stay insight he will then have a screaming fit until i return.
He has just recently started to scream if my one particular neice comes over, he will not i say will not stop until see her and she goes into his room and spends time. ofcourse this will stop it. I find with my guy its just spend time with me. he does not scream at night i dont cover him. i will however have to cover him if we have a time change he seems to get mixed up from that. OR when its breeding season he tents to go on a screaming fits…but he also gets nastier. He tends to do this sometimes not a breeding season but i think he gets his seasons mixed up b/c he is inside. covering him usually fixes this issue by covering him at sundown making him rest more.
other than that i dont think its too bad with Gonzo but when it does happen yes its enuff to make me want to scream too.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I have four parrots, my male Electus and my green cheek conure scream alot. My makle Electus screams when: the vacume is turned one, the stereo and when youre trying to watch movies/TV. When I unlock my back door to go out or let out my door, my conure goes nuts, and if we leave the room for even a moment it is even worse. Then all their screaming sets off the other two birds. Covering only helps to tune it down a little, our birds are all in the den and kitchen, which are right close together and makes themm the center of everything, yet. I am very interrested in find a way to end all the screaming.
April 28th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I have a friend with a Macaw that screams all the time. She lives across the street and I can hear the bird constantly. I will be sending this to her. I also wanted to say Waynes comment was incorrectly spelled and he was correcting you about your website. I thought that was cute.
April 28th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
My moustache parakeet came to me as a frightened 5-month-old. The first 3 months he lived with me, he didn’t make a sound. The next 3 months, only soft sounds like the crows outside.
Then he learned to talk. Over the years, he has gotten louder and louder. When bronchitis first went through our household, he learned to cough, though it sounds more like a barking dog (are we really that bad?).
He doesn’t scream, but that barking cough or “Whatchadoin” 50 times in a row or constant “hello” while I’m on the phone are almost as bad. Why won’t he say any of the other phrases he has learned but seldom uses?
April 28th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I have tried everything with my cockatoos and nothing has worked. I tried turning off the tv and lights and leaving the room, water bottles (I know this is discouraged now but at one time it was a suggestion from a behaviorist), whispering, and on and on. I have spent too much money and time to even count. I have your other CDs and I love them!!
However, my umbrella whines, cries, and screams all the time no matter what I do and my mollucan (who is a rescue) has serious anxiety issues and he screams when he is upset (which is not often but is still troublesome). HELP - I am losing my mind (and money on earplugs).
April 28th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
My Quaker Parrot not only screams when we leave the room but if we are eating continally bangs on his cage and screams until my husband gives him some of our food. I have tried to tell my husband not to give him the food when he does this behavior because now he associates the behavior with a “reward”. How can we change this behavior?
April 28th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
This is to anyone out there that is SERIOUSLY considering purchasing this video series but is hesitating because they wonder if “this guy is for real” etc as I have seen posted multiple times on bird group webpages everywhere online …
I went to middle and high school with his brother Dave in Spokane, Washington and can attest that he is indeed REAL and if he is anything like his brother, is very talented and WORTH your time and money. They are a sweet small town family…you can trust them =) Dave was kind of a local celebrity at our high school, hehe, always doing magic shows for us in our theatre. I only went to those schools for two years and it was more than enough to know he was a good guy, well liked trustworthy and respected.
If AFTER READING THIS you don’t buy his course right away, subscribe to his newsletter and eventually you WILL come to know it’s value, and his personal genuine generosity as he continually sends you articles that will enlighten you and spark new creative ideas for dealing with flock life. They have been VERY helpful to me—and that’s coming from someone whose friends come to her for advice.
Take care and best wishes,
Jessie-Marie

I am not a believer that this program can stop my Amazon from screaming…especially those times when he sees my van pull into the driveway. I am not close enough to respond/see/or hear him…but my husband sure is! Poco Loco has earned his name…
April 28th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
My Trident Cockatoo screams whenever anyone enters my home office. I think he is trying to protect “our nest.” My family will be soooo glad to see this behavior stopped. We have to cover him whenever anyone else has office work to do. He is also already a prolific talker and I reward him every time he stops for a minute to show him the right behavior. But, he still continues to scream whenever anyone but myself is in our room. I have no other place to put his cage.
April 28th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
By the way Chet. I am unable to get my parrot to stay on his play gym. I have to sit right there and threaten him with a spray bottle to keep him on the gym.
April 28th, 2008 at 4:41 pm

I have a 10 year old (estimated) female blue and gold macaw that we have had about 18 months. She is a rescue and she was adjusting really well until my daughter got her hair cut. Now when she comes home from college the bird screams and is VERY mean and agressive to the rest of us, only wanting her. She has bitten each of us pretty severly almost breaking fingers a few times. The problem is my daughter is moving home in July and if we can’t fix this problem we will have to get rid of the bird. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
April 28th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I don’t have problems anymore with the screaming. I with hold his treat if he starts screaming, and so far this has worked. I first had to find the treat he couldn’t live without, before this worked. My bird is the Amazon Orange Winged Parrot.

Hi,
I need help in parrot knowledge period.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
I have a female eclectus that just refuses to talk she screams or squacks that it goes right through you this is when shes in her cage and anytime you walk through their room. See i also have a brown throat conure and African grey but they both talk.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
I have a sun conure. He screams everytime my phone rings and I have to shut the door so I can hear. When I go out, he tells me BYE; but the minute that I open the door when I come back he starts his screaming. He thows/drops his food in the bottom of his cage and I have to go in his room and pick it up and put it back in his bowl. I have been told that I have him SPOILED.I got him when he was a tiny baby and he took to me right away. He says a few things; but the screaming drives me nuts!! He is almost 3 years old–Will your program help or is he too far gone?????
April 28th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I have a green winged macaw. We have had him for 1 year. He is a squaker when he “flies” on his perch. He squakes when I leave the room,or if he is outside by himself. I get some quietness right after his bath. He seems to concentrate on himself for about an hour. If my husband and I are talking,he really starts getting loud.I also noticed if we are doing yard work together,he really wants to interupt. He has progessively gotten worse.I am looking forward to your new dvd-I pray that this will be the answer to having a well behaved bird.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
My cockatoo screams “mommy”, “mommy”, “mommy” over and over only when I come home from work. By the way I am the “daddy” but who cares, she drives me nuts! My wife tells me that the bird is quiet all day until I come home…I can’t take it anymore..so I do the stupid thing that alot of others might do…I scream back at her! Help me!!!!!!!
April 28th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
My ducourps cockatoo screams in the morning and when ever he gets worried which is often he’s a very nervy bird. I can’t get him to talk the only word he can/will say is ‘hello’ and he’s turned that into a whine that you can hear right at the end of our street.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
my parrot is nailed to it’s perch
April 28th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I currently have a 10 year old Green Cheeked conure that has always screamed, in the mornings in the evenings, when you turn the lights off, when you turn the lights on. Screams when anyone wears a hat around him. Screams anytime he sees something new that if fuzzy or furry. It’s very annoying. I bought him a mate hopping that would help calm him down some , but it didn’t appear to make a difference.
I used to have an Orange Winged Amazon that would scream the most blood curdling noise I’ve ever heard when you went out of sight. She was so sweet but I had to re-home her because I couldn’t stand the noise, it was so loud you could hear it atleast two doors down.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
My Macaw screams when ever my husband is around. They really don’t like each other and the bird loves to scream and upset my husband. The bird will be talking and singing and all is fine, my husband walks in the door and the screaming starts. If I cover the cage then he will usually stop.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I have a B&G Macaw and an Mini-Macaw and they are characters. I leave the room, the B&g screams, then when I leave outside she screams and screams and screams, then pauses to say ‘Knock it Off!’
The Mini Macaw will fuss and fuss and fuss and fuss, it is screaming but more squeaky.
If I sneak by the bird room and the Mini Sees me he gives a certain ‘call’ and then the B&G starts screaming and the two just go crazy.
If they see someone outside they scream REALLY loud, I’ve seen people look around as if to say ‘What is THAT?!?’
They want me there when they want me there and that is all that matters to them, except that they don’t want anyone else near.
April 28th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
My sun conure screams when we pull up to the house, when we are talking to ‘outsiders’, balloons, and anything yellow. He will also scream to upbeat music. He won’t shut up!! HELP!!!
April 28th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
1)Our Quaker, screams when:he hears his owner come home….and that is just driving in and continues screaming until he gets in the same room and won’t give up until he acknowledges the Quaker (and my screaming -louder-Lineolated barred parrokeet that does the same.)
2)-Another scream is when he hears us getting up in the morning and haven’t gotten downstairs ‘right’ away…he hears us walking around, vacuuming, cleaning etc…..and wants us already to get down and let him out of his cage.
3)-Another time he screams is when we are upstairs (out of sight)watching a movie; but can hear us talking and screams for attention or is this behavior ‘a bird calling to his human flock.’?
April 28th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Boy!! Does this ring a bell…or should I say, scream a bell?? With 13 umbrellas, and 2 McCaws living in two upstairs bedrooms, there`s never a dull moment in my house!!!, not to mention two cats, and a Shitzu puppy!! They are all such little entertainers when I have some of them at the salon,sweet talking, and dancing for the clients, but at home…..that`s another thing!!!!..Since home is their “comfort” zone, we do things in a regular routine manner…such as, who gets fed first, second, etc.etc., what song we play to our excersize classes, and the circulation of treats before bedtime…sounds simple, right?? Ah, not always…if I happen to go out of turn with any of these tasks….ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!!! The screaming begins, and ends with my blue&gold, Lucy, screaming QUI-EEEETTTT!! It`s even hard on her ears!! Once they have lowered the screaming to a low roar…I begin to sing, and so do they!! We end up in a huge singsong from room to room…no more screaming..till the next time!! My neighbors are convinced that I`m nuts, and hear “over the rainbow” over, and over!!! Just turn the screams to songs..it works around here everytime…DianMarie
April 28th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
My Umbrella screams if I get out of her site. She will also sometimes scream if I am next to her and not holding her but she only gets held in the evenings for about 45 min to 1 hour. Other than that she also gets some of the other birds going and the gray too. But mostly he is telling her to knock it off. she does sometimes stop if he tells her to stop.
Help with a screaming cockatoo.
April 29th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Screaming is a given with such large birds. Very much the same scenario as others described above and below. I love the birds like I do my children and just tolerate them during their annoying times…….and appreciate their beauty on the good ones. I do not speak ‘parrot’…..however they do speak some ‘people/ so I guess that they are a little bit smarter than me. I assume when they scream, its either for attention, food, or that they are just letting off steam. Its the biting that is really ‘hurting’ me and my feelings. I have had a male and a female blue Mccaw since last year. They are inseparable. When our friends had first given them to us the only one that could be handled was the male. I would hand feed him through the cage and slowly began my approach to be able to handle him. Then I began holding a branch by his feet and he would step on it to come. Eventually I was able to reach my bare hand in….and he would step onto my arm. I would bring him out feed and water on a perch. Eventually the female followed. Just the past month or so the male has gotten so aggressive with me ……even when I go near the cage he lunges at the bars. When I open the cage To feed he then tries to lunge at me also. I have not been agressive or mean to them and do not know why the male has gotten so agressive and protective even over the female. Do birds have a ‘heat’ or mating season this time of year (Spring)? Or have my birds just grown to hate me?
April 29th, 2008 at 12:37 am
First….What does ed mean by “his parrot is nailed to it’s perch”? Scary thought. Second…try having a Mollucan that vocalizes every concievable natural cockatoo NOISE (he does not talk) at top volumn beginning at about 1:00 am and does not stop until between 5:00 and 6:00 am. There are some lulls when I manage to doze off but that doesn’t last long. I am surprised the neighbors have not called the cops. Some of his screaming sounds like he is being murdered (thought has crossed my mind). He makes perfectly natural bird noises during the day. No jealousy screams, lack of food or attention, etc. Can we stop the madness while I am “sleepwalking”? I hope so or it may be Cockatoo Fricasse for dinner.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:02 am
I’m so appreciative of your training and the blog comments from other bird friends. I have a Nanday Conure - I am sure no one has mentioned this bird because they are infamously noisy. A guest sat on a couch in the same room and Buddy didn’t stop screaming even when our guest was out of sight but still in the house. My buddy screams with his entire body and only gets louder at attempts to quiet or calm him down.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Hello Chet,
Well my ring-necked parakeet just turned 3 on april 5th. He is so attached to me that everytime i leave the room even to go to the bathroom with the door open he screams. When we go outside he screams cause of the other birds. Sometimes when we do go for a walk he will scream because he is telling me to sit down cause i am disabled and he knows when i do need to sit down. Well that is the only time i want him to scream. I have tried the treat method where when he is quite while i am out of the room he does get a treat. That seems to work but now it is getting bad again. HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
April 29th, 2008 at 3:39 am
My sun conure is 2+yrs. Won’t talk at all. Screams until I take him out of his cage and put him on my shoulder. He’s quiet there as long as we are alone and I’m not on the phone. He belongs ON me ALL DAY he thinks. I am home most of day and he wants me to wear him continuously. If I am wearing a cotton tee shirt, he eats the trim then climbs inside and eats holes all over. If it’s a button shirt, off with the buttons! Zippers, forgetaboutit, they get dismantled. I had to thow away all my winter sweat shirts and now my spring tees are going fast. He will scream when I talk to anyone on phone or in person while he is on my shoulder or on his cage. He will ride on hubby only when I’m not home. Both hubby and I are home all day and have home office jobs, so his screaming is embarrasing during phone calls. Hubby set up office outside on patio table just to get away from the noise if and when I take him off me and put him on top of his cage. On good days, he may even last there for over an hour….til he sees or hears me. Wearing him all day gets annoying if I am busy with chores and if I do not have clients or company. My tops all have poop down my back, so if the door bell rings, it’s a race to change my top, put Sammy back on his cage and answer the door with the screams in the background. He will bite anyone who dares come near me. Can’t hold my granddaughter as he climbs over my head to get to her and then bites every time. Need help on ALL fronts, including a sure fire way to clip the claws. My skin is getting scabby and red wherever he treads….Ouchy.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:11 am
I have a 3 year old alexadrene, and he screams everytime someone talks, walks in the door, car leaves the drive way, when we leave to go to work… you name it, he screams to it. I really want this video, im desprate to get a long with my bird better!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 7:24 am
I have a blue fronted amazon, she has been with my family and I for 17 years from the age of 6 months, my problem is she has bonded very much to myself even after successfully pairing her up to breed several years ago thinking this would calm her down she still screams or shouts my name repeatedly for attention. She will fly onto my shoulder and sit there happily or wander around the back of the chair where I’m sitting, all in all I can do pretty much anything with her, she plays up to me when in season as if I’m her mate!
My problem with her is the constant attention seeking and repeated screaming and also shouting of “hello Gary” several times over at a time, it’s driving me insain there is no rest bite from it. It starts first thing in the morning when she is waiting for her food, if she hears any movement in the house then that’s it off she goes!
She has the company of our African Grey who tells her to “Be quiet” “What’s all the noise about” and a meyer’s parrot who stays out of her way!
All have there own cage and are let out every evening when I come home and clean out there cages etc.
Tell me will your program cure this problem? is there an easy solution to stop this torturious screaming apart from the obvious!…what does parrot taste like!!
Regards
Gary

We have a rose breasted cockatoo and for the most part, he’s pretty well behaved…except mornings and weekends! He seems to like sending out a piercing screech every 15 to 20 minutes when we’re just trying to relax. We’ve got him toys, good food and talk to him regularly, but we can’t spend every minute with him and he seems to be getting worse. He’s only 2 years old now.
April 29th, 2008 at 7:57 am
We have two Lovely Cockatiels Males and a Couple of Love birds who just have 3 Babies and now in the Morning the Babies and the Love birds are just making all king of whines, cries, and screams all the time is nice for a while but afterwords it gets hectic.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:36 am
I would be interested in screaming course. I just got a baby caique and he is screaming already.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:53 am
HELP!!!!! PLEASE
I have a Cookctoo,named Cuddles. And he is driving us all crazy! I have tried everything I can find to stop him from screaming, biting and chasing us.
He always bites me on the nech and ear so bad, I thought I was going to have to have stitches
He also attacks me when I am cleaning out the Guinea pig’s cages.
My other birds are so quiet and friendly that I can actually play with them.
Here lately I’m sorry to say, is I am starting to be alittle scared of him. And I don’t let him out of the cage for fear he will attack me.
Anyone with a little help for me??
Thanks,have a blessed day

April 29th, 2008 at 9:56 am
My husband’s macaw is known as a whole new kind of doorbell in our neighborhood. She screams when the doorbell rings, our dogs bark or when she is demanding my attention.
Visitors are protected from this as we are forced to put her on a perch upstairs so she is blinded to them. So an unexpected visitor is in for a SOUND treat. Many visitors have asked me WHAT THE HECK IS THAT NOISE ? It is overwhelming and yes even embarrassing.
When the dogs bark she says STOP IT STOP IT in a deafening voice. She won’t stop until they do.
Harley, the bird, decides she wants my attention - she occupies a central position in the house-she doesn’t miss much and the crescendo starts.
BOY would it make life nicer to have her be quiet on command.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Hi, I have read all the above letters. My Cockatoo does the same thing. She is a rescue bird, along with my Eclectis, and African Grey. The screaming has got to stop. I can’t stand it any longer!!! She screams constantly…. except when I am holding her or petting her. I have tried everything. I am looking forward to your new training program! My husband said if they had more “meat” on them they would have been in the oven by now!! ha ha..
Thanks for all the great tips you send!
Debra
April 29th, 2008 at 10:38 am
For a few of you who’ve asked… yes we do deliver to Spain, as well as just about everywhere else. We even ship to 3rd world countries.
Actually, 25% of all our customers come from outside of the United States, so we make it a point to try to make stuff available for you foreigners
Glad you guys are excited about this course, it WON’T dissapoint you!

April 29th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I have a Quaker parrot almost 9 years old and a Sun Conure 8 years old. The Quaker talks and chatters all day long, which is not the problem. The problem is when I get a business phone call, she starts screaming and it’s embarrassing and I can’t hear what the customer is saying. This then gets the Conure going, like she’s trying to tell Mickie to shut up. Also, when my husband comes home an we try to have a conversation they both start screaming. I think they are jealous of us talking to one another. They get plenty of attention….I guess more is never enough. When the doorbell rings they bark like dogs…both of them.

I have a 27 yr old rescue African Gray, he screams and I tell him to sing and he stops screaming. I generally let him vocalize whatever way he wishes I just try to divert his attention to the prettier sounding vocalizations. We all need to express ourselves in one way or another don’t we
I used to run in when he did it and realized that by doing that it was conditioning me to come when he called…uhm I am the mommy and you come when I call you! So if he screams he gets nothing, if it continues I tell him to sing pretty and he stops.

I have read all these letters, and all I can say is, thank goodness I have an African Grey! I was told that they are quieter than most other breeds, and whilst Charlie talks and sings and whistles, he never screams and is very well-behaved and quiet a lot of the time. I talk to him in the mornings, but after that, he occupies himself beautifully most of the time.
He is about 5 years old, and I have never had a parrot before, so I provide lots of toys, nothing expensive, just a wooden ladder, wooden eggcup and lots of cardboard boxes, which I offer him one or two at a time, and I wonder if that helps to stop any screaming, or maybe it is because I live alone and the house is fairly peaceful?

April 29th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
WOW! This hits home. I have a 10 year old Umbrella Cockatoo that was hand raised from 3 weeks old and has spent every waking moment with me for the first 3 years then I changed jobs and could no longer take him with me to work. The feather picking started and so did the screaming. My veterinarian had Angel for a week and says he is very offensive and hurt her feelings, the way Angel yelled at her if he did not get attention on demand. lol She recommended Prozac. How ever I chose not to medicate and have been working on behavior. She tattles on the children and screams when they are playing. My youngest moved out and we had some peace again. Now the grankids are living with us and the screaming started all over again. UGH! Angel will cry like a baby and say luv the baby, cry some more until my grey tells her to stop it.

I have an umbrella cockatoo who is wonderful if attatched to me. He is even mostly good when he can see me, but he gets very loud when I go to the other room without him. He has recently started to make this non screaming but innoying groaning sound in the evening. I travel quite a bit for work and he is an angel with my husband. When I am home his world revolves around me, Help!

My Blue-Fronted Amazon Parrot screams when my god-daughter (age 19) is here. She is here on average of three days per week. When I have company, Ruffles does not scream. I have used your clicker and it did work, but does not work with Ruffles and my god-daughter. Ruffles will scream up to an hour and then settle down. We have been ignoring the screaming cause we do not have any other solutions. I am looking forward to receiving your DVD on this matter.

Hi, Conagher is a Nanday conure (Darlene I def. understand) I have had Conagher for 12 years now and am used to the noisey calling and non- stop screaming for attention. But I recently got married and my husband HATES the screaming and yells “shut up” back at him. Now my bird pauses long enough in the screaching to yell “shutup”. I am dealing with jealousy issues mostly. I was Conaghers “mate” for so long, and now he is having to share me. And my husband says i give into him too much so he screams. I just want peace in my house. Do you have parrot&husband screaming, training videos?
I am forwarding the e-mails on to him and we are working on the “ignoring” technique. Thanks for all the help

Hi, I have a 30 yr old Double Yellow Head Amazon Buddy and a 32yr old female Snoopy. We got them about 1 1/2yrs ago. This will be their 3rd home and they have always been together thats how we ended up with 2 of them. Things were great for the first year they both talk Snoopy sings and talks alot more than Buddy. Boy do they scream! It’s difficult to have a conversation. They scream if we leave the room they scream and act like they are starving when we are in the kitchen which they can see us (open concep)they pace back and forth on their cages. We use a spray bottle but that really doesn’t help. It is getting so annoying because it’s like I sit there and watch them close their eyes then I try to sneak out! WRONG then the screaming starts again. We have their cages open when we are home for a few hours so they can come and go where ever we are. But they would rather scream. They know how to find us and sometimes they just walk down the hall and one will find us and the other will stay out on top of it’s cage and scream. No one likes them and they can’t understand why we would want pets that are so loud so messy and so dangerous.
Lately Buddy has been biting me really bad just as another discribed lundges at me in his cage I am afraid of him and I dont want to be. He was so sweet I want that bird back I feel like I lost my best friend! HELP
April 29th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I`ve survived almost a year with my lovely and sweet sun conure…. she is like a dog who barks when we come home, while we leave the room where she is, while we let her stay in the cage and walk around in the house without her being stuck to us… and i`m really frustrated. We really need this cd, and pray that it works!!!
April 29th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Hi Chet,
We have a B & G Macaw, She is a Rescue Bird we got when she was 6mo old from VERY BAD CONDITIONS. We have been working very diligently with someone who grooms her and is an Owner of Parrots, to train her etc. But she screams when my husband and I try to talk, when people come over, when I am making dinner, when we take her outside, she screams @ people going down the road, when “Poppa” comes home from work, or just out of the blue she will let out a BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM for no reason !! We have had her for 7 LONG MISERABLE YEARS !! Of which I have wanted to get rid of her many many times, but just can’t bring myself to do it !! Oh and yes let’s not forget THE BITING !! She is always biting my husband on the back of the neck. Or just biting anywhere she can, like when we put her food dishes on her perch, try to get her out of her cage, she bites us all the time !! AND I AM FRIGGIN SICK OF IT !!!!!! She does the “Face Rub” to both of us..And the “Food Regurgitate” YUCK !! And she always wants to bite on our fingers and bobs her head like she is eating them or something, she is usually soft but can get rough, we tell her “Be Easy, Be Easy” and she usually lets up…..so we know from what we have read that she has bonded with both of us….we just cannot deal with the biting and the screaming !!
Distressed in Arizona !!

Hey, I’m here with an Amazon that squarks like mad. But we had him by a window thinking that was the best thing and now that I’ve moved him closer to us within the family area….he’s getting better…I live around alot of people and boy everyone started complaining but the noise…don’t tell anyone, but I’m not even suppose to have pets in my apartment….so you know I have a big problem….but wait, after the move from the window…his behaviour is getting better.
I had amazon parrots before this one so I’m kind of use to birds. But what I’ve noticed is that the younger you get the birds (atleast amazon ones) the better your chances are of any madness…because the one I had some years ago….(oh my little toby) he was bought barely with feathers and he talked like crazy. You know I can’t even remember that one screaming at all. Everything I said to my children he repeated, when there were guests, he would welcome them with “hello come in”. But I was moving to another location and had to sell him….
But this amazon now “shaggy” is behaving a little better now that he’s moved from the window. I actually look forward to being with him on a daily basis again, the screams has not stopped totally and I still have to cover him to quiet down, but trust me it is really getting better and better everyday.

I have been an owner of Macaws for over 15 years but I just bought a baby Canindae and she doesn’t stop screaming from the moment I put the key in the door. If my Scarlet or my Yellow Collar scream she will outdo both of them and drown them out.It seems that she will scream from the bottom of her feet to get the loudest scream possible. I do not take her out when she screams, I will only take her out when she is quiet. I have tried spraying her with water, covering her cage but she still screams. I have taken her from a room by herself and put her with the rest of my birds and she still screams. Please give me some helpful advice to get her to stop screaming without wringing her neck LOL! I have had her since she is 3 weeks old she is 6 months old now.
Thank you

My catalina macaw was rescued from a dark basement and only
bonded with one of my boys that is going away to college in the fall. She screams when he isn’t here. Funny I feed her and clean her cage, but she bonded with him and tolerates me.
We have tried whispering and singing and playing music to stop her screaming.
I am interested in your advise.

I read DALE’s comment and wondered if I had a neighbor across the street that I wasn’t aware of… or maybe he’s across the street on the other side of the alley!…?
My wifes rescue Military Macaw is about 11-12 yrs old. She’s had him for 7. He does many of the things listed above, he lunges at the cage when he’s inside, banging his already ruined beak (because he was abused previously) and chipping it even more. Sometimes I’ll open the cage door to let him out or put him on a T-stand or outside, and he’ll act like he’s happy to see me, then Lunges at me. He IS getting better, as we’ve only been married for 6 months… he’ll step up more regularly, but STILL sometimes out of nowhere, he’ll get VERY aggressive w/ me… the hand that feeds him. He bit me REAL good once about 8 months ago (broke skin and permanently scarred my hand) so if he lunges, I’m QUICK to pull away… if he gets me again, his time will be limited…
Anyway, the SCREAMING is SO bad when we put him outside on his swing…. either when people walk down the street, or…? sometimes it looks like he’s screaming at a honey bee on the ground or something…? Nothing else there. Finches maybe? Last weekend I heard him half a block down, INSIDE another building…. The screaming MUST stop!
I’ll convince my wife to get one of your courses… Looks like you have some satisfied customers… and LOTS of Future customers.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Oh yeah… and it SEEMS like he’s less aggressive w/ me if I wear a ball cap, which I’m almost always wearing. But today I picked him up and actually petted him while I was holding him, and he did good. No cap today either…. go figure.

i just read all the articles that was printed in your newsletter about screaming parrots. my harlequin macaw is an angel compared to some of these other parrots it does’t mean that he does’t scream but not as long as some of those other parrots . i have come to love him as much as my children. i think that i have to train my husband so he know when to stop screaming at him when he thinks he should be quiet . thank you for publishing this newsletter i love to read it.
April 29th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
my harlequin macaw is very special to me and he screams when i go into my bedroom and leave the house and says hi baby when my husband and i walk in the door. he was supposed to be my husband’s bird but he turned out to be my bird i am the only person that can handle him .
April 30th, 2008 at 12:41 am
My blue fronted amazon has an annoying screaming habit which can be heard from blocks around I’m sure. One of my neighbors didnt know I had birds and kocked on the door to see if I was alright! I also have an african gray who now mimics the screaming blue fronted amazon then tells himself to “knock it off”. It’s kind of funny for about a minute. Help….
April 30th, 2008 at 2:42 am
My Eclectus sometimes appears to have a bit of a separation anxiety. If I’m running around in the morning whilst getting ready for work, he might scream a bit, or if my partner and I are talking in another room I think Morbo feels left out and will scream on occasion. I must say, though, that his screaming is fairly minimal. It seems to have lessened even more since starting some trick training with him, and also since he doesn’t get a reaction from us anymore. He is generally a good bird, but your advice has still been fantastic, and much appreciated. Thank you!
April 30th, 2008 at 5:30 am
hi i have agoffin cockertoo.hes great i love him to bits.the only problam i have is if some one comes to my house,thats when he starts.he just thinks every one comes to see him,but if i let him out with other people he goes streat to them and want to jump all other them,if these people stay calm hes fine but if thay get yumpy he will bite normley there nose .i dont get many visiters now.hehehe.i will be getting this training.from uk

i have been receiving emails from chet womack for a few months now, i really like what i see,however i hate buying things off the internet. last night my jenday conure, phoenix, greeted my husband and i at the door with his usual screaming. particularly intense he can be whenever we open and close the front door or let the dogs in or out. i figure this is like a barking dog behaviour and i ignore it because it is just a greeting. My husband on the other hand has no patience for this and proceeded to throw a set of keys at his cage. the keys exploded and so did his remote control starter, I covered phoenix’s cage and left the house because i was sure if i stayed i might tell my husband to pack his things and get the hell out!
i absolutely adore phoenix as well as my husband (sometimes) but things are breaking down here and the screaming has got to stop. i to feel like ringing phoenixs neck at times and i feel like i am missing the tools to understand him correctly, obviously the yelling back is not working. All i can hope is that Chet Womack is the real deal and his intentions are on helping bird lovers and not on making money.
April 30th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
My very sweet yellow naped Amazonian came to me from a family with two babies and has learned how to throw a genuine toddler tantrum. So real that neighbours have knocked on the door to ask what is wrong with ‘that child’. It’s the usual attention thing, when I’m on the ‘phone or she can hear but not see me or is bored. She is not a great talker, but mimicks very well, so when she goes outside as the village children are going to and from school, she natters away to them and they are all convinced she is having a conversation with them. (She hasn’t learned to fly and I’m not about to teach her!)
April 30th, 2008 at 7:53 pm

I have a 12-year-old male Senegal Parrot which is supposed to be a great apartment bird for low-noise reasons, but I would really beg to differ. He has the most high-pitched scream and will scream and scream. He screams for almost any reason at all. I can’t even have him in the living room anymore. My husband can’t stand him anymore because of the noise. It’s horrible. I tried using a water bottle, but that just made it perpetually worse. He is extremely moody and rebelious. He used to be so sweet. Please help me get my bird back!
May 1st, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I have a female cockatiel and have had her for about 2 years. She was a stray that was adopted by us. She is a very sweet bird but doesn’t like hands although she has gotten used to being scratch now and will beg for it from me. She has become bonded to me and demands attention constantly, and always has to be with me. This can be annoying when I have things to do. She won’t play with toys so I can’t find a distraction for her instead of me, and in fact is scared of everything that you try to present to her. Early on she used to scream but not all the time. It only appeared to be really bad during spring/summer. I established that sometimes it was because she was either wanting to breed or find a nest or was actually ready to lay eggs (she has laid eggs). I partially solved the problem by providing a nest box in her cage. The screaming has reduced significantly since this. But there are other times when she screams and I don’t know why. I know she wants something but don’t know what, it’s not attention because my being there doesn’t help, she is unconsolable at these times.
Also, when she does scream for attention sometimes I can’t give it to her because I’m busy. If I leave her alone she will eventually stop but as soon as she hears a noise it starts up again. She has ‘bionic ears’ so I have to creep around the house! If she hears me come home from work she will start up as well. Now that it is winter (I’m in Australia) her screaming is not so bad as well.

My African Grey, Jazzy, will be 14 years old on june 5 ‘08. I got him from a breeder at 80 days and hand fed him for 6 weeks. There have been so many great times…..and now not so great ones. Ten years ago,I got divorced when Jazzy was 4 and he started plucking. He was always handlable and I’ve always loved him sooo much, but…when he was about ten he fell for a girlfriend and he has never been the same. I can’t touch him any more without getting bitten, he screams when I come into the room..and his lungs are so huge he can deafen you very quickly. My girlfriend now,Jan,can pet him and he loves it. He tries to regurgitate in her hand, but she doesn’t like it.(and she’s a veterinarian) But he mostly screams when we don’t pay attention to him and when we leave the room he sounds exactly like the phone ringing…as if we’d fall for that one
Screaming is a big part of our lives and I will be happy when we are able to understand Jazzy better and deal with this appropriately….like a lot of the others on this comment page, I want my bird back. Thanks Chet !
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 am
To anyone out there doubting Chet’s training courses, they really do help! I have a female African Grey and she is the most fun loving bird I have ever own. I bought her through a bird breeder here in Florida and got to watch her grow from an egg to the beautiful bird she is today. Charlilta, which means chatterbox, but we call her Charley, is 14 mos old now and in the beginning when I got her at 3 months old I had no problem with her but my husband and family did. I bought Chet’s 1st training DVD and 2 CD’s and now every member of my family as well as friends can hold her. I have even been able to train her to do tricks, through your help Chet. Charley’s Vet and workers love it when I bring her in for nails and beak trimming. That is the only thing I can’t do with Charley. She loves to cuddle which other people told me you can’t do with an African Grey. She also has become quite the talker. When company comes over if she is in her cage she tells them hello then tells them to “let me out” They get quite a laugh out of her. So your videos, cd’s, and newsletters are really a great way to understand and train parrots. Thanks for all your help.

May 3rd, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I have three Indian Ring-neck parrots. They scream when I don’t entertain them on my returning home. They also scream whenever they don’t get our attention for a long time or when we are away from them or when we keep them in our sitout instead of living room. If we show our love to one parrot, others start screaming and if they get access to our finger they even bite us for showing our love to others. One of them goes to the extent of pulling the tail of the one whom we show love at that time.
I have been in touch with Chet for a year now and have seen the effectiveness of his parrot training programmes through his videos. I am certain that this will work too.
May 4th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
my african grey has driven me crazy. he starts screaming 6:30 am sharp. and continues screaming for almost an hour then starts talking and again in the evening he starts screaming again. i have tried all the things to stop this screaming but no use. he also screams when he sees my mom or dad passing by. (they spend most of the time with him so he feels really attached to them). plz plz help me stop his screaming since its driving me and my family and also my neighbours really mad.
May 4th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
my cockatiel screams when i leave him. as long as he can see him, it is okay, but once im out of sight he starts. ive had him for 9 yrs so ive gotten pretty used to it, but i know it bothers others. when i come home, he usually starts and im told when im away he periodically starts up too.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:39 am
my budgie screams when I ignore him! I live in a small apartment so my neighbors are really close by. and at two in the morning he screams then the little dog next door acts up so we have a chorus of animals. please tell me what to do
May 5th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Hi all!
My, indian ringneck, is screaming as we are writing/reading these comments! lol! he has just had his breakfast….and now wants to have his flying time, although he had it earlier while i was preparing his breakfast….and God forbid, that i wake up late or his breakfast is not on time…he knows and yells to wake me up and get him his breakfast! he does have pallets and fresh water in his cage over night so he doesn’t starve in the morning….but it’s just attention seeking! he just wants to do everything i do..eat everything i eat….he even goes into the toilet with me! he won’t leave me alone!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:37 am
I have Sun Conure. He is very nice bird. But screaming problem is there, especially when he is exited, or happy to see us after long day. 1 month ago the main problem was in the morning, he couldn’t stop screaming and I was afraid that nabors will start to complain, so I started to put him in other room, and leave there till he will come down. I do not know if it was the reason that made influence on his behavior, but in the morning we do not have this problem anymore. I love him so much, I like when he is exited, and i understand that he is very happy to see us coming back from work, but screaming… It is too much
May 6th, 2008 at 11:44 am
MY 9month old african gary female bird yells like crazy when i leave her sight and it will not stop. She make all these anoying sounds that will drive any human insane.

Also if u have anything about plucking please let me know i need for her to stop that she is to yung to be plucking
Thnk you for taking ur time and in reading this
May 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
My Umbrella male is really great with one exception. Whenever I leave the room he squawks like you put him in a blender. This leaves whoever is left in the room going out of their minds. I realize that he is attached to me, but there has to be a better way. He is fine if everyone leaves the room with me but when only I leave lookout!!!HEEEELLLLPPPPPPPP
May 6th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
i have a jenday conure.He is very loving and very attached to me. He will scream all day if i don’t let him out of his cage, so he can be with me all the time.I love him with all my heart,but sometimes it just isnt practical or safe to let him be out of his cage.I would be very greatfull if there was away to end this behaviour as it is driving my husband mad.
May 6th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
I have an Amazon Bluefronted and he’s 3yrs old and I understand he is attached to me but if for any reason I leave the room or if he is outside playing and does not see me he will scream like crazy. If I’m eating and he watch me eating, he screams and won’t stop till I give him what I’m eating. Though he is very social and will go with anybody who approachs him but then after 2 mins he will bite the person and starts to scream and won’t stop until I get near or make him step up on my hand. I understand I will be needing your teaching training for my loveble crazy bird…. We really need it ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Australia, have 3 teenage sons (one with very severe Autism) and 10 Indian Ringnecks, all are hand tamed and the lights in my life, thanks to the Womach’s (yes even the boys; I must confess to using some of Chet’s ideas on my sons too…hehe).
To all who have expressed their screaming and biting concerns above: Take heart, Chet Womach is an Angel sent from Heaven to help all of us feather lovers.
The BirdTricks.com series of DVDs and CDs are the most amazingly comprehensive and informative materials to help ALL bird owners. No matter what breed, or age, of bird you own. The fact that the whole series has been developed by “real people” for “real people” is awesome, at least that way we all have half a chance of understanding it. But by far the most special thing about the Womach Brothers and BirdTricks.com is the customer service! Even from this far away I have experienced probably the best customer service ever!!! 99/% of businesses worldwide should take a leaf out of the BridTricks.com’s book and their businesses would be far more prosperous, and no doubt, satisfying!
So Please take the plunge and purchase any or all of these DVDs/CDs…. I promise that you won’t be sorry!!!
May you be blessed by this angel….BirdTricks.com

We have a Conure that was between 3-4 months old at Christmas ‘07. We call Woody, he but we really don’t know if Woody is a male or possibly a Woodette? Woody is a very good bird are main problem is he screams. Woody’s cage is in the corner of our dining room. Our kitchen flows into the dining area, which flow into the livingroom. When I am home I am in and out of the kitchen alot. As long as I am in the kitchen our bird is pretty happy. Everytime I leave the kitchen to go out of sight to the laundry room or pantry Woody usually starts screaming. When I return it is as if he got his own way and I returned. No, I just needed to go to another part of the house and returned to keep cooking. Woody even finished his screaching with a different sounding noise at the very end of hes screaching as if to say “There I got my way.”
HELP I leave for a five day convention May 25th. When I return my husband who got me the bird as a Christmas gift (total suprise) is tired of wearing ear plogs when the bird screaches until he quiets down.

I’ve got a Blue and Gold Macaw named Elvis, who tolerates me and is infatuated with my wife. When Elvis screams, its like a circular saw running at top speed cutting through steel, as if it were about an inch away from your ear. Elvis is screaming about attention, and it can be very painful. I’m interested in finding out what can be done. I look forward to your update.

Hello,
I received your email today and am on limited funds. I would LOVE it if my cockatiel, TJ, would come to me, obey me, not come at me to bite me, would not use me for a toilet, and would talk more.
My 6 mo. old peachface Lovebird has a screaming problem when someone turns the TV on and sits in the room to watch it without placing him as the center of attention! He is tame, yet sees TJ striking at me to bite me and is starting to copy him!
I need training so they will be great kid substitues!

Chet, Luigi my blue and gold macaw, 2 years old has all of a sudden become a screamer. I dry my hair, vaccum, or anything with noise he screams. If men come near him he screams….(I took him to work and it was a terrible) No one could even talk to him. I can call his name and he stops but why did he do this all of a sudden? I mean he as a little in the pasted but now he is so loud. Please help before I am told to move……!!!!!

Actually, anyone at the moment that comes near Luigi is acting out. Please help!!!

I have a umberella cockatoo that screams alll the time to get out of his cage and I can’t let him out without someone to watch him because he chews whatever he can get hold of up. He screams so loud that one of my dogs starts howling, it’s very annoying..

I have a lovebird. He no longer screams to get attention because we ignor him until he stops screaming. However, he does scream when he is on my shoulder and when he flys to me.
Since Lovebirds supposedly cannot talk I cannot see trying to get him to talk to me as a way to fix this. I am not sure if he was weaned properly as I found him in a pet shop. When they brought him out he flew straight to me right away. Now when I let him out he climbs under my chin and then starts pecking at my mouth as though he wants me to share food, etc with him. I would like to see a sample of any information you may have regarding lovebirds or small parrots, such as budgies, lovebirds and cockateils.
Thank you

i have a maximillian pionus. when he plays and at other times he hangs on the side of the cage and he makes this loud noise - i don’t know if this is his natural sound or mimmicking another bird (crow sort of). very annoying. it’s like he’s really beating his toys up. i keep thinking he’s turned into a teenager because he’s snippy sometimes and other times he’s friendly to me. he’s lunges and fluffs up at my husband and acts like he’s going to bite him. so now my husband wants him gone.

I love my cockatiels ( I have too, a baby girl and a 2year old boy) But my fiance HATES them, especially the male, he screams for attention whenever he hears or sees us, I raised him from a baby and we did everything together, (I was still in UNI when I got him and I didnt have a lot of classes. Hes quite clever and speaks alot and sing songs etc. But now Im working and eventhough he has been approving lots, he sometimes still screams, (they are living with my mother in the daytime, so theyre not alone when Im at work.) Im worried that once we get married my fiance will force me to sell him or give them away, and I wont! They’re like my babies (my baby girl is a dremer and only makes girl like noises, moslty she looks amased at absolutely everything!
I really hope that I can get my boy to stop screaming with your new video!

I maintain parentage of a sun-conure and he was my son’s. We are all in the same house, but the bird is in the florida room with me most of the time. He screams for our food otherwise he dances to chacha music & other; plays with twigs and toys and loves soymilk. He goes out with me on the shoulder to do yard chores and loves it. As with people one must relate to birds and animals the same. Some need to play and rest or join in the family daily comings and goings. They need what we need. Attention, love food and treats. Love your coloum and look forward to it.

I have a 5 year old female cockatiel who will SCREAM whenever someone is on the phone. Regardless of where you are in the house, she KNOWS you are on the phone, and she will scream, whistle, throw food and toys around, and while we have somewhat gotten used to it at our home, people on the other line can hear her and it bothers them.
Any suggestions or ideas why?

Peach faced Conure named “Hershey” screams when I’m on the phone or watching tv (without him on my shoulder.) I try leave the room when he screams as a discouragement, but I can’t leave the room all the time because I work from home and need to be in the rooms (adjoining office/kitchen/dining) where his cage is. I love him and want to make him happy- But I realize he is acting spoiled and getting his way, because I often come get him, when he screams. Help me be a better mommy!

Will be totally AMAZING if indeed you have found the resolution to the ever tantalizing scream behavior our feathered ones introduce into our homes! As well as save the homes of feathered ones who are removed from original homes due to the people’s inability to tolerate the screaming behavior…I hope & pray you have discovered the remedy! Looking forward to what it is~THANK YOU for all your efforts to improve the co-existence of feathered ones with people/families!

Hi Chet,
First off I wanna say Thank You, for I have bought your behavior training videos, teaching to talk, as well as your grand book of tricks :D. And it helped open my eyes as to why a bird would act the way it would and how to help correct the behavior if it isnt a possitive one. So I really thank you because I felt that it was common sense and I should have already known what you were saying, but it just needed to be put out there and as soon as i saw your videos, i was like, DUH! lol But really, Thank You!
I recently adopted a male GreenWing Macaw(approxamately 3 years old) 2 weeks ago from a family who just didnt have time for him anymore. So fortunately for the most part Yukko(GW’s name) is relatively a good bird. But he is a bit of a biter which im used to from working at a pet store with very mean macaws-to-parakeets and they all can bite to break skin. And i hope to correct that behavior as soon as i can put him onto a training diet. But my brother and I realized that he really likes me and is already trying to grab my hand for the “naughty” action and regurgatating his food, and he is ok with my brother when they are alone, but as soon as i enter the room he becomes really mean to everyone else and bites. I want to break this forming habit before it gets bad when other ppl come around. I’m not sure how to approach the behavior as well as deal with it when it happens and I have a husband coming home from Iraq and I really want him to be an everyone bird. I realize i just got him and he is in a total new environment and can take up to 2 years to truely settle down/be comfortable, but im not one to let bad habits form, or let them get away with it.

I thought I already left a reply…but…here I go again…I have 2 conures, 1 green cheek and 1 sun….the sun is a lover, just likes to sit with me…the green cheek is more independant and would rather me feed him and let him out then sit with me…but I love them both…the problem is, when I leave the room, they both scream…loudly…when I come home from work I can hear them as I get out of my car….when the key turns they really turn it on…screaming…..I would greatly appreciate your new dvd but I’m at work at 8 in the morning…Is there anyway I can order it now?

I own a catalina macaw, now 14. He screams when my partner walks by him or leaves “his” area. He screams when my partner stops playing with him, or even during play. Why?
He is just fine with me. Never feels abandoned when I leave becasue I tell him and wave. I know that Oscar really likes my partner, but since Oscar has bitten my partner, Ed, Ed doesn’t hold him.
I aquired Oscar from its second owner at the age of 8. It spent the first 7 years of its life in a cage until it was rescued by someone that after a year found out he could not spend enough time with it and so I purchased him.
