Can people please describe for me what is the 'normal' morning screaming (calling, hollering, etc) their bird engages in?
I've read in several places that a healthy, well-adjusted, no-baggage bird will scream in the morning, when you come back after having been gone, and right before bed. We are having trouble with the first, understand and allow the second (it only lasts a few seconds), and she doesn't do the third.
'In the morning' is vague to me so I'm not sure what to allow. While covered, she screams briefly when I grind coffee around 6:00am. Then back to silence. Once uncovered around 7am, she is quiet and plays by herself. Then, around the time of us making breakfast (usually between 8-9am), she starts screaming. It can sometimes go on for awhile. Scream scream scream...pause for 30 seconds....scream....pause for 1 minute...scream scream scream. You get the picture.
Is this the normal, morning screaming? Should we just ignore her?
Edit: Our confusion comes not from the definition of morning, but whether or not this is the screaming allocated to the morning time or if she is asking to come out. We randomize whether or not she gets to come out around breakfast time, and we don't want to let her out if she is screaming. I hope that makes sense.
