Hi all. I am at my wits end as to what to do. My Sydney screams relentlessly every summer. The problem is he starts at about 6 a.m. The birds (M & F) are in an outdoor walk-in aviary. She is in the nest box, and I know that's the root of the problem. I have a radio outside for him and our backyard is very active with birds and squirrels, too. I feel like when I go outside to shush him, I am only reinforcing his behavior. His mate, Victoria, is sitting on 2 eggs now (though I am thinking they may not be fertile...it's been 28 days). Should I just remove the nest box? My neighbors have complained about the noise, so I know I need to do something.
