What are some causes of constant screaming in parrots?
Added: Feb 4, 2005 Author: Parrot Rescue Centre If your parrot is constantly screaming, there may be firstly a problem with the cage or environment they are in, such as nothing for them to play with, or not a big enough area for them to stretch there wings or something threatening there environment. Secondly it may be that the bird is seeking attention, if the bird is spoilt with to much attention all the time and then that stops, they can become frustrated and upset. Thirdly a parrot that has not been trained and disciplined accordingly may feel they are in charge and scream to show their importance. Fourthly if a bird is bored in their environment with nothing new to play with or not enough time out of their cage they can scream to gain your attention or to occupy themselves. Lastly during seasonal breeding periods birds can be triggered into matting rituals, which may cause them to scream out for a mate.
