How do you get a blue headed pionus to stop screaming? We can't just ignore her cause we live in a coop apartment and our neighbors would be up in arms. TIA

You probably can't get her to stop screaming because that's what parrots do. How long have you had her? How old is she? When did she start screaming "too much"? When does she scream the most? How long have you lived in the coop? Did you have to get permission to get a parrot? Any bylaws violated? Has anyone actually complained yet?

We've had her for 7 months and she's a year old. She screams most when we're home with her and walk into another room. We have cameras on her and she barely screams when we're out. We've lived her for 9 years and have permission to have her. No complaints really but we did have the vice president of the board tell us that she's been heard.

Its great that you have permission. Another good thing is that parrots rarely scream after bedtime. If your neighbors are away during the day at work or school as long as a baby isn't trying to sleep (and babies can sleep through a lot of noise).
Just because the neighbors have hears your bird doesn't mean they are annoyed.
That screaming pattern is normal. Hopefully some of the other members can help you to control it though I'm sure you realize that parrots will scream to communicate with their flock- you.
If you talk to her as you're leaving the room and keep talking from the other room so she doesn't think you've left her completey that may help. Covering her cage won't.
You may want to introduce her to your neighbors so they see how wonderful she is.
