Hi,
We are getting concerned. Yesterday Ozzy was screaming and screeching to the point we were ready to leave the house, (we didn't), even with earplugs in. We took some advice about Ozzy's cage location, being in front of windows can freak birds out sometimes so we drew the curtains between his cage and the window so he can't see outside. We also put him in his cage and shut the door and he calmed down very quickly. With the current layout of the house, we have no other good place to put him where there are no windows and so he is around us as we want him to be part of the family. We don't want to put him in one of the spare bedrooms either because that defeats the point.
Tonight, he was sitting on his cage preening after he ate his supper. We were out today so they birds were in the cages while we were out. All of a sudden, he took off flying around, banged into the microwave and then the back of the couch and ended up under the table. I went to sit with him and after a few minutes of soft talking to him, he stepped up on my hand and then took off again. More talking and he got on my wife's hand, he took off again, crashed into the tv and landed in a toy box of stuffies. The entire time he was flying he was making this super high pitched sound repeatedly. We got him into his cage and he started making the sound again. We took a video of it linked below. He has made this noise before, but only a couple times in a row, never like this. If anyone has any ideas or knows what this sound means please let us know.
Thanks,
J
