Angry bird when one of us is out at night. How to train out of it?

Ahh...as I write this post, my green angry chicken, Winston, is screaming at me with a passion.

He has been doing well so far, except he developed this anger when one of us is not home at night. He SCREAMS! I first thought it was sort of a flock call, but it is definitely a tantrum now.
He is fine when we are gone all together, and he is fine when we are both at home. The problem comes when one of us is out and the other is at home. (Well, more problematic when I’m home alone because im not his favorite, but he gets upset too when I am gone.)
Winston is usually not a screaming bird. When he screams, we leave him and go in to the bedroom. He will quickly say something nice and we come out. He knows screaming is not preferred by us. That’s when we are both home.
Tonight, my husband is out. I did a couple rounds of into the bedroom and out, but his behavior persists. I am now comepletly ignoring him. He continued for 15 mins, and he pulled a piece of freshly produced poop FROM HIS BUTT WITH HIS BEAK and THREW that on the couch. And he came down to the floor to chase my feet.

I have no words. I tried distraction (singing time/chatting time), I tried toys, and I tried target training. What is this? I know he displays “I wanna go, too” behavior, but it’s not realistic to bring him anywhere. Is there anything that we can do to un-angry-fy this bird?

Clearly, the staff failed to obtain approval for not being on-duty! And to make matters worse, failed to grovel for forgiveness when they did finally arrive home...

At first, you are likely thinking that I'm kidding, I assure you that I am not! There is a responsibility to let family members know when you will be out and when you will return. One starts letting HRH know that you are leaving the room and for how long, when you return, you with joy, state that you are back... This builds to when you are, in fact, out of the house and return.

If you are shocked by the reaction for an evening, being gone for mutable days, invite far more dislike, like turning their back to you...

You have a highly intelligent creature in your home!

Oh yea, we did that tonight before my husband went out. The full “daddy is gonna go blah, and will be back in blah...” Angry bird not satisfied.

It is problematic when I think of our goal to keep him for decades. You know, with expected changes. We are a young couple who will be wanting human babies in the future. We need to be able to work for each other.

What has changed?
This is also full of good tips like latter to music.

Nothing in our life has changed besides he is more bonded to us. He was rehomed to us in November last year. He also realized that people disappear through the evil front door. He flies after people but can never pass the door. What he does not know yet is the 30F weather outside that door...

We might try the music one.

He's flock calling.

We've replaced Cairo's flock call, but he still uses in desperate situations (like when he got lost).

You can try replacing it by establishing your own. It started with Cairo's only word at the time - "Hello". Anytime he'd say, "hello," we'd run over. Or we would call out hello when we were in another room.

Now it's whistling instead - easier to hear across distance and a little less troublesome for neighours than incessant "Hello. Hello? Hello!! Hello.." So same process, we'd whistle all the time, and when he would whistle, we would whistle back and go over to him (and give him a treat at the start of establishing it). Now when he whistles, we make sure to whistle back always and sometimes go to him (not all the time).


We also are trying to setup our names with Cairo. Unfortunately, I tried teaching him "uh-oh" whenever he would drop a toy and I would go over to pick it up to give back to him; which means my name is "uh-oh" (my partner's name is "peek-a-boo", and yes, he will call one or the other, depending on who he wants). But basically, whenever you go over to him, you say your name, so he starts to associate your name with you going to him.
