Clutching at straws or jumping from one possible cure to another, without a firm diagnosis as to why the behaviour is occurring, can only waste time and possibly make the problem even worse or more difficult to cure. Unfortunately, our parrots, unlike our cats and dogs, do not require yearly vaccinations, where included at this time is a full medical, so it is through education that we learn to get used to taking our parrots for yearly medical check ups, as a form of preventative medicine.

In looking at the problem of screaming, we must first understand that it is a very natural behaviour for our parrots perform, but can become a problem when performed out of context and to excess in intensity or duration, or when comes into conflict, or disrupts our lives. We have to look at who finds it problem and usually it isn’t our parrot, but ourselves. In the wild parrots vocalize at different time of the day and depending on the variety of parrot, this can range in loudness and harshness of their calls. The most common periods of loud and raucous calling seems to be first thing in the mornings, when the parrots are awakening and assembling for the day ahead, then again when they return to their roost at the end of the day, when they will call to the rest of the flock, almost as if making sure everyone is accounted for, or exchanging information about their day.   If a parrot is screaming non stop, it would be considered an abnormal behaviour and would also be a problem to that bird living a productive and healthy life and most probably be considered a true behavioural problem, rather than just problem behaviour.
     Before a person acquires a parrot, I really feel they need to spend some time, either with the parrot of their choice, or with some parrots of that particular breed, so that can observe the variety of parrot they have chosen. You need to observe what their behaviour is like and this can include how much room they like, how messy they are and very importantly how much noise they make. Many first time parrot owners have been surprised just how loud their small Sun Conure can actually be, so it is not always the size of the parrot that governs how much noise it makes.
    Attention Screaming- Even though we think that we are very good at training our parrots, I personally feel they much better at training us. Many times when our parrots scream to us for attention and we either go to the parrot to see what is going on, or call back, even if that is to tell it to “SHUT UP!”, then your parrot has got the exact reaction it was seeking, and we have Positively Reinforced the behaviour, which means that it is more likely to occur in the future. Once your parrot has learnt that this works, it is difficult to remedy, as in most cases we find it hard to ignore the noise and eventually give the parrot some sort of attention. If we try to ignore a bout of screaming, which may have been going on for 10 or 20 minutes, but eventually cannot to take it and give in and answer or go to our parrot, all the parrot has learnt is that it may have to try a bit harder next time. If it screamed for 10 or 20 minutes last time and you eventually came, if screams for 15 or 25 minutes next time, then it will probably get your attention. We can inadvertently be teaching our parrots to scream longer and louder to get our attention.
     To try and deal with the problem, we must learn to never pay our parrots for inappropriate behaviour by rewarding it by going to, or calling back. You must learn to totally ignore the undesired behaviour and only reward desired behaviours such as quiet, calm, or an alternative, such as a quieter noise, a whistle, or a taught word, if your parrot talks. These are called desired alternative behaviours, as your parrot cannot scream or screech if it is whistling or using an alternative word at a desired level.
     When you first try to deal with a screaming problem and you are setting new rules, the problem can actually become worse, as your parrot is still using what it knows used to work, and this is known as Extinction Bursts. When you start ignoring your parrot, it may try harder and scream even louder or longer. Do not get discouraged, or give in, as this is just your parrot’s last ditch attempt to make old rules work for it. Whatever you do, once you have decided to deal with this problem, you must not give in and make sure everyone else in the family is understands what is being set in place and why and it is important that everyone is consistent in implementing this behaviour modification plans. Everyone must fully understand that even yelling at your parrot to stop screaming, may, and probably will be seen as a reward to your parrot. Parrots love excitement and drama and will soon join in if they think it is fun and will also try and prove who can scream the loudest! 
     It is extremely important that from now on your parrot only ever gets attention and rewarded for quiet and calm behaviours. If your parrot is screaming, then you must never go to, or answer your parrot. If while your parrot is screaming, it stops, or performs any other alternative behaviour that you consider is desirable, then you go to your parrot, answer it and reward the behaviour you prefer. You can put it on Cue by giving it a word, such as “Calm” or “Quiet” and praise and reward for this desired behaviour.
     If you have neighbours that are being affected by your parrot’s noise, it is a good idea to go and see them and explain that you are aware of the situation and are trying to remedy the problem. If they know you are trying to fix the problem, they will be less likely to get the council involved with a noise complaint, and also it may stop them from yelling out at your parrot to be quiet and inadvertently reward the unwanted behaviour. Sometimes it can also make them understand that naturally some parrots vocalize at least twice a day. It may mean you moving your parrot’s cage away from your neighbour’s house if you house your parrot near a boundary fence.
    Every parrot is an individual, but there are a few different things that may help you in dealing with a parrot that screams, or prevent the problem for occurring to start with. Firstly, if your parrot is just doing it’s normal early morning calling and night call, but that is causing problems if you are not an early riser and you kept indoors at night, you can give him an area to sleep in that you can black the windows out, with heavy curtains and so prevent your parrot seeing dawn break, till you draw the curtains. This can let you parrot sleep in a little later and not wake at dawn and then you can let him do his morning wake up calls. This darkening of the room, can also let you adjust his sleep/wake hours a just a little, so you can enjoy his company at night a little later, rather than him going to sleep at dusk, when he should. If you do decide to try this, I would only adjust your parrots sleep/wake hours as minimally as possible and never use putting your parrot in a darkened room as a punishment, or for solving problems,
     I like my parrot to perform as many of its natural behaviours as possible, so because I see early morning calling and evening calling as natural, I have tried to put it on Cue and let him perform it, but at a time that is desirable to me. I either do it going to and from work in my car, where it doesn’t affect anyone else but me and him, or when I first move him to and from his night time cage to his  daytime cage. I say the word “Good Morning” in a loud and boisterous voice and turn up the CD player. I sing and am very loud and he joins in and we both end up in a screaming, yelling singing contest. This gives him the chance to perform a natural behaviour but at a time that is desirable to me .I can also do this in the car on the way to work, which can get some strange looks from other drivers, when I pull up at the lights. I think they think that I having some form of “road rage”, but I honestly say, that as well as it being good for my parrot, I have found it extremely therapeutic! At the end of each session, I start calming the situation down by starting to talk in whispers, being less animated and I use the cue word of, “Quiet” and also use the visual cue of shrugging my shoulders and letting out a sigh. This lets my parrot know that the screaming session is now over and it is time to be quiet. If he displays any noisy raucous behaviour, I turn my back on him and ignore him, which is Negative Punishment, and I am taking away something he considers a reward…..my attention. Negative Punishment only means taking away something the parrot sees as a reward, which is my attention, and since companion parrots are so social and seem to love having our attention, this can be a very valuable tool in training our companion parrots.
     You have to recognize that some companion parrots will call to you to just let you know they are there, or to seek you out and are not screaming. It can be a fine line to tread to decide if you are going to reward these calls by answering them. Everyone gets to know their parrot really well and can usually get to distinguish different calls and sometimes if a parrot is just singing out as recognition call, you can answer back, as long as this does not cause a problem and the parrot’s calling is not too loud or too often.
     Another thing you can try, is when you parrot is getting too loud and over excited, start whispering very quietly. Calm your behaviour down and display calm and relaxed body posturing. Many times a parrot will feed off our behaviour and that is why yelling or showing aggressive behaviours, will do very little in solving the problem of a loud and over excited parrot. I will lower my voice, my head and shoulders and try not to stare right into my parrots eyes. I slow my movement right down and once my parrot is calm enough to listen, I may ask him to do something simple that I know he can perform, such as a “Step Up” or “Go To Your Perch”, just to get him listening to me and focused on something new.
     Hopefully some of these strategies will help you if you are having problems with an overloud parrot, but always remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If your parrot isn’t a screamer, do not wait till it is, to then try and find a cure. When your parrot is performing calm and relaxed behaviours, praise and reward your parrot and put it on Cue, by giving it a word, such as Calm or Quiet. As humans we always tend to wait till we have a problem and very rarely recognise all desirable things that are around us and reward these wanted behaviours. I want my parrot displaying as many calm behaviours as possible and will praise and reward these behaviours whenever I see them……I reward my parrot for doing nothing, or anything else I consider desirable! When it is doing nothing or any other desirable behaviour, it isn’t screaming, biting, or doing a multitude of other unwanted behaviours and it gives me the chance to reward and show my parrot that this what I want.

As always, make sure your parrot has a healthy diet, receives regular veterinary check ups and you are providing plenty of environmental enrichment and exercise. Providing your parrot with plenty of physical and mental stimulus in the forms of foraging behaviours will help occupy the parrot’s time as well as his mind A bored, or sick parrot, either physically or mentally could soon display unwanted or stereotypic behaviours.

Recently we have had a couple of enquiries from people who own and care for PBFD (Pssittacine Beak and Feather Disease) birds to see if we had some ideas on care for the birds over the winter months and how to make a jumper for their birds to keep them warm. Unfortunately due to the disease being so contagious we do not keep any PBFD birds at the PRC, so we do not have allot of experience and knowledge to pass on. We have not previously needed to make jumpers for our feather plucked birds, so did not have any patterns. Out of the blew recently we received a letter in the mail from a wonderful lady named Sara with some pattern designs on how to make a jumper for PBFD birds. We were thrilled, as now we have the information to pass onto others.

We passed the jumper patterns onto Camillia who has a Cockatoo named Daisy with PBFD and she sent us this photo of Daisy with her jumper on. We had to share this, as it is so beautiful.

She maybe featherless but it shows the disease doesn’t take away their beautiful spirit.

Sweet is doing really well. Her collar now comes off on a regular basis and she spends alot of time preening, once she is finished she then loves to have cuddles and scratches. She has shown no signs of mutilating (chewing into her skin) since the operation, she is still currently always supervised when the collar is off to be safe.

Thanks again for everyone’s concern and support.

Following is a series of emails which I sent to Zarita in despair. My ‘Murphy’ is the sweetest, most loving, affectionate, intelligent and beautiful Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Yet I recently faced utter despair and depression when faced with some of the ongoing parrot behaviours common to owners of these and other beautiful parrots. I came very close to surrendering her for adoption which truly would have broken my heart. I know how it feels to love them so much that you feel between the devil and the deep blue sea, the utter frustration of needing an answer. If just one reader can benefit from the past few weeks in my household then it will be well worth the anguish. Good luck to you all and don’t give up, seek assistance. It is out there. I have supported the Parrot rescue Centre ever since I met Murphy and will always continue to support their amazing work:-

Dear Zarita,
I know that you operate on the Gold Coast and I am in fact up in Airlie Beach, Whitsunday's but I have a problem and would appreciate your advice.
I mentioned my Cockatoo ' Murphy'   to you in our recent correspondence about Sweet and I am becoming increasing concerned that I will need to find her a new home. She is 6 years old, definitely female, and she’s been with my partner and I since she was just a fledgling orphan. She definitely thinks she’s a dog! Understandably, because she runs around with our two all day. We live in a tiny little house and fortunately the amount of damage her chewing has done so far has been OK because the house is very old and dilapidated. However now she is becoming a pest getting into everything that she can get her beak around, loves tyres, motorbikes, etc. She has learned to open the doors as well which although very comical is quite frustrating when I have to be locked in the house with her so that Ken can work on his bike or something.
I know you will have heard it all before. I did Parrot Pre School by correspondence with one of your advisors which is how I came to know of you years ago. I get that it’s my entire fault!!!
What I really need to know is should I try to find her a place to live with a bunch of other birds? I know that she will not ever go back to the wild. I am a member of local Fauna Rescue group and I’ve had enough trouble sending birds I’ve cared for away…they always want to stay. I myself am 57 so she will, as long as she’s healthy, well outlive me. It would break my heart to lose her but I need to do what is right for her to live the best life possible.

My partner is complaining about her all day long but because she has always been allowed to move freely around it’s very hard now to cage her so much. She sits there so sad I can’t bear it.

I just don’t know what to do and it is making me cry so much. What usually happens to birds like this, where can they go, what should I do? You are the only person I can think of to ask.
I do so wish I wouldn’t get so upset but this is really starting to tear me apart. A few months ago she started to pluck her feathers and now big parts of her body are bald. I made an Elizabethan collar and that seemed to work for a while but then as soon as I took it off she just pulled them all out anyway. She is treated for mites etc. so I know it isn’t that, and she definitely isn’t bored. Frustration I suppose, but it could be anything; she’s on the ground all the time!
If she’s not on the ground she wants cuddles. As soon as we sit she races to the arm of the chair!
I have tried discussing this with my partner and he calls my thoughts just my way to”get rid” of her.
Her way of life with us is too humanised. I couldn’t take on another Cocky…double trouble! We rent and we’ve been lucky to live here for years but if we have to move it will be to a caravan or something.
I know that this decision is one faced by many other bird owners who believed they could always provide a great home and tons of love when faced with the decision to take them on, but if I had known then what I know now it probably would have been kinder in the long run to try to send her to be rehabilitated. Too late to cry over spilt milk now hey!
Do you have or can you recommend any forums that perhaps might help me to make this massive decision. I desperately need someone to talk to.

A few weeks later......

I am feeling much better about my situation with Murphy now. Very fortunately a friend who was a cockatoo mum for 16 years came to pay us a surprise visit for Easter. She told me she expected to find Murphy bald from my letters and assured me that I am overly worrying about the feather pulling. However I have done a lot of research and there are certainly areas that we felt we could improve on so we have put a strong plan into place to remind Murphy that she is a bird and our home and garden are not her cage. I also used a video camera to do a bit of sneaky recording and I noticed that the helicopters at the nearby airport cause her some stress. Our home is in the forest and my friend pointed out the number of other species of birds as well as Cockatoos surrounding Murphy every day, some of which bother her. She doesn’t like Lorikeets for instance! We are extremely lucky to live in this environment and Murphy has never known otherwise so she safely can roam quite a long way, making her boundaries very large compared to other unflighted Cockys who spend more time caged.  So much of my research has made me realize how lucky Murphy is and so I accept that I have spoiled her and I now have a bit of a brat at times to deal with. Thank you very much for your support and I will continue to find ways to enrich her life without ruining her.

Well I have found a young vet in my area that at least has a passing interest in avian medicine…that’s a first! She admits to not being a guru but is at least trying and I applaud her for that. I took Murphy in on Tuesday and the conclusions are that Murphy appears perfectly healthy and obviously happy. She was so good at being examined. I was so proud of her.
We discussed the past year and changes that have occurred, the main being Kens job now has him home all day. I wasn’t surprised to hear that Murphy has chosen him as her ‘mate’, nor that she wants his constant attention which of course he can’t give her. But I was delighted that he himself was there to hear this because he is in constant denial. I have been trying to tell him for months that she picks most when he falls asleep in the chair or watches the TV not paying attention to her. I keep asking him to put her out in her day cage at these points but…what can I tell you. He’s a man..grrr. It’s easier for him to ignore the behaviour and blame it on something else.
Anyway I have toughened up now…a bit of tough love is called for. I have had a look at Jim McKendry’s advice and I have ordered two books from you this morning. I have commenced positive reinforcement with my clicker which she finds quite fascinating. And I have asked Ken to please ignore her and take her quietly to her cage when she is not behaving well. I have also asked him to make sure she can’t spend her entire day following him around like a puppy. He may be harder to train than Murphy though.
I loved hearing this vet say that whilst she may think she is a dog when she is out playing in the garden she is totally thinking like a bird when she adores him! Even to the point of laying eggs! We have ordered some Clomicalm to help her over the hump. I realize that this will not solve the problem but since she will shortly start the egg laying again like last year I feel that I do need an extra help. The vet didn’t feel at this point that blood tests are needed but I will consider that if necessary. In the meantime she is wearing her collar so at least there are some parts she can’t reach! The vet feels that she hasn’t killed the follicles and the feathers will grow back. She is nowhere near bald so that’s something. Just has ‘holes’
It’s just not fair is it…this bird is the total love of my life and yet she chooses Ken. Murphy’s Law!
Thanks again for helping me over my hump. I was so depressed. Now I have bounced back and plan to learn training parrots if it kills me.
Please keep up the great work.
Yours faithfully,
Carole Dobson.

Lucky and George are two rescue Galahs, each with their own unique needs - both gradually learning to be birds again, and possibly pairing up along the way. We hope...!

Lucky originally came to us via Adrian Gallagher at the Brisbane Bird Vet.
I met Lucky there after a consultation for one of our other birds, and was very touched by her story.

Lucky hatched on the seventeenth of January, 1992, and had belonged to the gentleman who had hatched and hand raised her from then on. She had bonded completely with him, and has a marked preference for men as a result.

Her life had been a good one until the death of his first wife, when circumstances forced a move into smaller accommodation for both he and Lucky. She became stressed in a smaller cage, and began to feather-pluck. This was compounded by a strained relationship with her owner’s second wife. He did everything he could to help her, converting her to a pellet diet, and providing enrichment for her, but his new wife was very reluctant to have Lucky remain with them. She was eventually surrendered to the Brisbane Bird Vet, with some fatty liver issues and extensive plucking and follicular damage. Her original owner was devastated by her loss, but felt this was in her best interests.

When it became a possibility that we would rehome her, I took my children to meet her first, as we weren’t sure what her reaction to kids would be. It was love at first sight between my 12 year old daughter, Annie, and Lucky, and this remains the case. She also loves my husband to bits, and he has found himself the rather bemused target of a Galah’s utter adoration.

Lucky was in good shape, her feathering improved, and she seemed very happy. Early this year, at about the same time as a bout of Pancreatitis, she became agitated again, and started to feather chew from time to time. At this stage I started to seriously consider getting her a companion. Having sought advice from the Brisbane Bird Vet, and Zarita at the Parrot Rescue centre, I began to look for a calm, gentle male Galah who might be suitable.

George had been surrendered as well. No-one knows his age, although he seems relatively young according to the vet. His original family couldn’t cope with him, and reported that he was very aggressive (something I’ve NEVER seen.) He was 25% overweight when he came to us, and had only ever had a seed diet with some fruit and vegetables, augmented by “nerd” lollies and cake decorations. He is now converted to pellets, and has lost a considerable amount of weight. He still enjoys fruit and vegetables – he adores passionfruit – and loves grazing on the lawn.

When I first bought George home, his abilities to get out of any conventional cage were astounding. We now know no 'ordinary' cage (with doors that lift) will contain George... We tried anything at hand that night. He is a master at paperclips and bulldog clips, and is only briefly thwarted by cable ties. Locking duck-billed forceps present more of a challenge for him, but he's nothing if not persistent.
As a result, I spent most of that weekend constructing a suspended aviary. I eventually bolted this to the side of Lucky's aviary when they had had a week or so to get used to being able to see each other.
When George first started spending the day outside Lucky's aviary, she sat around the corner, out of his sight, but curiosity and familiarity have drawn her closer over time.

We have given them their first supervised “outings”. To begin with there was mutual disinterest. Whilst this wasn’t particularly encouraging, there wasn’t any aggression, which was good. They’ve made their greatest advances on the grass outside together, with Lucky’s tolerance for George’s proximity increasing every time. Inside their aviaries, they are now happy to sit close to each other, and whilst the wire is still separating them and will be for some time, they are sitting closer and closer by the day. It's actually quite funny to watch, and happens by very gradual increments.

Even if they don’t eventually pair up, they are definitely providing company for each other. We used to hear Lucky calling for Annie immediately when she came home from school, but she‘s now quite happy to sit and wait until Annie comes to see her. She has a lot of new pinfeathers, and has shown no sign of any chewing or inappropriate preening singe George arrived. She is a lot less agitated, and like George, loves to spend time on the grass in the sun.

We will continue to let them get to know each other very gradually, encourage more Galah–like behaviours in both of them, and keep our fingers crossed!
Thanks to everyone who provided us with advice and encouragement, and bought two delightful characters into our lives.

The question still is – will George get Lucky?!

Smaller pet birds in cages hanging outside on balconies, verandas or patios are like “hors d’oeuvres” for the predators.  When a predatory bird swoops on an unattended cage, housing a small bird, there is no protection or shelter for the pet.  Terrorised, they flap uncontrollably about the cage to escape the predator.  As their wings, feet or head touch the bars; the predator grabs with its beak or talons and pulls at their prey.  The birds most at risk from predator attacks are the smaller pets (budgies, canaries, finches, love birds and cockatiels).

I am often presented with birds suffering injuries of varying degrees of severity from these attacks. Some victims suffer nothing more than minor abrasions. Others have eye injuries or are scalped. Many have dislocated or broken legs and wings. Some have wings that are “degloved” (the skin torn from the muscle). In very severe cases, birds have been decapitated or had their wings torn from their bodies. We must remember it is not the predators fault; they are doing what comes naturally i.e. taking advantage of an easy meal for their offspring.  It is the pet bird owners’ responsibility to take steps to protect their pets from predators. That is why I am constantly reminding my clients not to leave their smaller caged birds outside, unattended. Birds in aviaries are less likely to suffer from attacks as there is more room within an aviary to escape from the predators.

Spring and summer are also the times when reptiles are active.  Hungry carpet pythons and brown tree snakes pose another danger to caged birds left outside, unattended. Even larger birds such as galahs and cockatoos can be preyed upon by larger carpet pythons.  Birds in aviaries are not immune from predation by snakes.  It is necessary to make your aviary “snake proof” i.e. blocking up any areas that could enable a snake to enter the aviary.

By all means allow caged birds to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine but take care to protect them from the predators that exist naturally in the wild.
