Recently my conure will not stop screaming. It is currently at the worst it has ever been and it has been this way for days. A few weeks before this it was getting bad, but now it is worse and I need help.
He wakes up around 7 everyday and after I uncovered him, fed him, and turned on a light so he could see he would let me sleep until 10 and he would then start up a fuss to get out. Now he immediately starts screaming at 7am, as loud as he can, and will not stop until I let him out. Sometimes I even have to cover him back up so he will not wake up my neighbor. When he does get out, which is most of the time except for maybe 3-4 hours a day, he is still screaming. I can't distract him for more than a few minutes with his toys before he starts screaming again. I've turned off the TV, turned on the TV, closed the blinds so he can't see the birds flying around outside, none of it is helping. Every time I leave his sight he screeches nonstop until I return.
I've tired switching from birdy bread to more fresh fruits and veggies and mixing his seed with pellets (the pellets were normally just in the birdy bread) and it is not making a change. I even try dropping whatever I am doing when he starts to give him 1-on-1 attention and it only works half of the time. He gets plenty of attention from me and I've began carrying him everywhere with me and he still screams for no reason.
I need some help. I am losing my mind with the screaming and I am trying so hard to make it stop so my neighbor doesn't take issue. Help me please!
