Gizmo is my 7 month old darling Sennie. She is a lovely mix of independent and loveable which is great.
My only gripe is that she has started screeching... And I mean really screeching at the top of her lungs, wings flapping madly... The works! I can only describe it as similar to a toddler throwing a tantrum.
I am stumped as to the reason behind it though. It genuinely seems completely random. I've tried ignoring her, scolding her (gently of course!) , distracting her... Damned if I can get her to stop though.
Any ideas or suggestions?

It is really difficult to answer this type of question without additional information to go by. Is she clipped? Where are you when she starts this behavior? Does she have food that she can get to when she does this? It is also possible that she is saying that whatever she is on or next to is hers and is announcing this fact to you. There are a great many possibilities for behavior of this type.
