Winston is settling in to his new surroundings. He is truly a sweet boy. He loves to chatter and each day we hear new words and/or phrases. He isn't a screamer, but I do have a question on one particular sound he makes. I tried looking it up but can't find the exact sound.
Winston does a sound that sounds like a siren. He does not do it all the time but I am noticing a pattern: Sometimes when he first sees me in the morning and again in the evening. He will also sometimes do this same sound when I leave the room. I don't think it is a scared/danger call. He will do it 1-4 times. The only time I have heard a panic call is when he saw something outside as he screamed for a couple minutes as he was looking outside.
Any suggestions on how I can respond to his call without him learning that his call means I go to him? I have read several ways to approach this, but wondering what has worked for everyone here? As I said, he does not scream all the time. I would say he is a pretty quiet, laid back Eclectus. I am more concerned of the noise level as it is ear piercing and it freaks out our dog. The poor thing runs upstairs when she hears it. Of course, it could be that she is wondering why a bird is talking!
Thoughts?
