How to stop my cockatiel screaming when I leave and come home?

Thanks for reaching out about Ahmer. If she was a hand-fed baby, maybe she associates people with feeding, and is hungry, not completely weaned. Do you see her eating, are feces present? Does she quiet when someone enters the room? Birds are very social and often don't feel comfortable when left alone. She might just need time to adjust. Monitor appetite and water intake through fecal and urine production. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Keke. He might have become frightened when you reacted to his biting your ear. It might take some time for him to returned to a stress-reduced state and for you to win his trust again. If the behavior continues, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess health. Good luck.

Since the birds are new to you (and I am assuming new to each other) they are probably a little stressed and taking time to adjust to their new surroundings. Also, since they are new to you, this may be completely normal behavior for them. You may want to try separating them and see if that helps. If they are eating and drinking well, do not appear to be injured and are having normal excrement then I would not be too concerned. They most likely are stressed and just need time to adjust to their new normal. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Bestnof luck.

What you can do really depends on what the cause is, so trying to find the cause is best. If you suspect illness, seeking out a vet appointment is a good first step to rule out any health issues or pain that can cause behavioral changes. Sometimes, aggression can be caused by boredom, stress or even an urge to mate. Adding in enriching toys or allowing Coco to explore his environment may help with boredom and keep him happier and occupied. Moving his cage to someplace quieter or without harassment by other pets and people can help reduce stress in addition to adding some fun toys or treats to play with. If he is trying to mate, sometimes changing the daylight hours and decrease protein amount in the diet can help, as well as distraction with interactive toys/ignoring/avoiding the behavior. If he does seem stressed and lash out, giving him a chance to calm down and relax before interacting again may also help.

It sounds like Cheeko may just be excited and enjoys getting out and exploring. Singing and chirping can be signs that he's enjoying his time. Offering some fun toys to play with and safe things to explore may help encourage this behavior. As for things to give when he does something you like, a favorite treat such as a piece of fruit (apple or strawberry slices are always favorites, or even a piece of lettuce or spinach!) can reward him. You can also find many commercial bird treats at your local pet store that are safe to give.

Yes achu could of been communicating to the other birds around even if he was in his own cage and room. Birds can be very vocal. I would not be. Invented at this time and allow him time to adapt to his new living space. Hope that helps

Thanks for reaching out about Rue Pippins. Pain could be a concern but also stress or fear. Something might have scared him and might take some time to recovery. Monitor appetite and water consumption and seek a veterinary visit if needed. Good luck.
