Marvel_ous
Sprinting down the street
So i've had Marvel for 4 days at this point and she's been wonderful except for one MAJOR issue. If she can't see anyone, she immediately starts doing a flock call (the best I can describe it is a very loud door creak. it's longer than the "smoke alarm" vocalization) every 8-10 seconds and does not stop. She's gone at it for a full 30 minutes before.
I've tried ignoring her, I've tried calling back, nothing makes a difference, she just keeps screaming until she can see someone. She has a large flight cage (36"x30"x60") with a ton of toys (that she likes and plays with when she can see people), fresh chop, water, but she won't touch any of it unless she can see someone. She just keeps screaming. I tried giving her breakfast when she was hungry and immediately leaving but she just screamed for the entire time I was downstairs eating my own breakfast and taking a shower and didn't touch her chop until I returned. Now that she can see me she's eating happily but there's no way for me to be in sight 24/7.
I'm at a loss for how to get her more comfortable with being alone. It is not possible for her to be in view of people all day, and putting on sounds of other birds/nature doesn't make a difference either. I'm relatively new to behavior correction and just don't know how to deal with this.
