So, my newly adopted CAG Mariah (had her for a month now) loves to scream like a cockatiel (she used to live with one)....a big-loud cockatiel. She has lovingly passed on this wonderful whistle to my Meyers.....so during their vocalization times, it sounds like our house is a cockatiel motel.
I ignore it for as long as humanly possible but sometimes (like when my daughter is taking a nap) I have to resort to covering her up. I am looking forward to the temps warming up a bit so both of them can have some time outdoors....my Meyers loves it when I wheel his cage out to the front porch! Once outside, I really don't care what types of noises they make!
Is it cruel and unusual punishment to cover her up for a little bit until she settles down? After I uncover her she seems to have forgotten all about the screaming....it should also be noted that it doesn't make a difference whether or not she is in/out of her cage or we are in/out of the room.
Any advice is appreciated!
