My sweet little Indy is coming out of her shell... but I don't know if this is the best thing. So a little advice is greatly appreciated.
Problem 1: she's began to scream during the day, for as long as she wants. I know birds make noise, that's not the issue, the issue is, my husband works nights, so sleeping during the day is vital. He gets off at about 6am and he complains that the screaming starts at the latest 9am. (Know clue what this sounds like because I work during the day time and she doesn't do this on the weekend when I'm home). My first thought, she realizes he's home and wants some attention, since her cage is in the living room, I've asked him to experiment with me and lay on the couch to see if that'll settle her, I figured she was just calling out to him. After great resistance, he tried sleeping on the couch and said that the screaming went from a high pitched scream to some kind of sing-song weird thing that's he's never heard of. (I think she was attempting to mock the cellphone alarm clocks).
What can I do or what should I try to do to relive some of the noise? I'm in no way trying to silence her but I don't want the hubby hating the bird and being cranky.
I will have to start putting her outside when I leave for work and bring her back into the apt when I get home if all else fails. We have a screened in porch so she'll be covered from the elements and in the shade. (we live in FL, beautiful daytona beach). but I really don't want to have to put her outside if I can avoid it.
