Nah.
Ok but another question, does their screaming continue even during night? I can handle the screams during the day it's just that I don't want him ruining my sleep that's all.I wish!
Oftentimes, excessive screaming is due to boredom, stress, fear, lack of attention, and other factors that can be remedied by proper husbandry. However, all birds are going to vocalise, and a macaw's joyous cries aren't anything to sniff at. Some birds are also much more vocal than others, for no other reason than their personality.
My macaw Taco will scream at least four times a day -- and that's just his full-blown, glass-shattering screams. Even his happy, playful chattering can be super loud, and because he's not doing anything wrong by vocalising in these situations, there's no reason to try to train it out of him (and doing so would almost certainly do more harm than good).
Macaws are huge birds, and they come with huge voices. If that level of noise isn't within your comfort zone, then a macaw is not a good choice for you.
Bird typically sleep at night silently. Birds can get night frights, but those are special situations and rare. If your bird has a good place to sleep they will sleep well.You would never know they are there.
He'd be asleep during the night, assuming there are no noises/lights keeping him awake; but if you're not used to rising with the sun, you'll probably be woken up by the 'dawn chorus': aka, a lot of yelling to welcome the morning. If you don't wake up early each day, he's going to wake you up. And keep you awake!
Ice cream did you say? Hold on birds are screaming couldn't hear ya.....lol.
No, usually they sleep and are quiet, least all mine are, and military I had never peeped at night. But come Sun up, you best be up, or they darn sure will wake you. And God forbid, never forget a macaws breakfast....you have no idea what a pissed off macaw can be like!!!!
........oh man you got that right-breakfast time and when the sun goes down, that's when my 2 macaws are the loudest. Yes they will let it rip during the day on occasion but I just quietly tell them STOP in a stern voice, usually works. Now my military will do her darnest to be louder then a conversation going on in the room-then I ask her WHAT!! she will mutter something and go back to playing. I do believe the screams can be controlled, I do try to ignore it because then you are just teaching them "if I scream I will get her attention" but when it gets out of hand I will give a command in a louder voice to break their thought process & when they stop screaming they are rewarded with a treat. I think my biggest secret to taming the screams are treats through the day when they are being good. Just random treat with a "What a good girl" does the trick. Just like kids they each will have their own personality and even that changes all the time.
Ohhhh absolutely!! Mine would scream the minute you get on the phone! More you talk, the louder they scream....it was hard to talk on phone unless you literally left the house and went outside. As for treats....uhhhh, sometimes, I try not to associate getting a treat with screaming. Rather I point to something outside the window and say oh look!! Did you see that? They shut up and concentrate on what I saw...when they realize, 15 minutes later that I was just pulling their tail feathers, it's back to screaming for a bit.lol!!!
Oof. You on the right forum bird brain? I do believe joining a forum just to hate on people is considered troll ing. I take no issue to questioning the ethics, but this is quite literally your first comment.
just reread this comment and noticed this snippet. Just to clarify (I'm aware some of our members don't speak English as their first language, you may well be one of them) , you are advocating people kill their birds rather than have them live as pets, correct?
