Conure Screaming at other birds

My GCC screams like a banshee if he so much as hear a chirp from a sparrow outdoors.

I've managed to get him to cease screaming for the most part when it comes to other reasons for screaming but I have no clue how to go about stopping him from screaming at outdoor birds!

He is a 5 month old GCC and he's a biggest punk I've ever met but I love his heart.

If anyone has any tips I'd much appreciate it!

Do you have any type of white noise in his room? An air purifier is good for this. That might help diffuse the noise enough to keep him from screaming back at them.

I've tried running a fan, having YouTube videos play, etc. He seems to be able to hear it over any other background noise.

My green cheek also called to the wildlife and even imitated blue Jays (which, a conure screeching like a jay is in my top 5 of Worst Sounds My Bird Makes :lol: )

She's been gone for several years now and I unfortunately can't remember if she ever grew out of it!

Inca, my orange winged amazon, starts crowing with even slightest hints from outside crows... Imagine an amazon making that noise... and he's a perfectionist in this matter, LOL

There's a crow who taunts my budgies from the roof (I'm on the top floor). He also wakes them up. Most of the time most of them ignore him, but never Marzipan. I think the crow likes to do this as entertainment. At 6:10 this morning I heard him. Sure enough, Marzipan began to reply in incensed budgie tones. I think the crow had this apartment claimed as part of his territory, pre-budgies, either that or he just enjoys taunting tiny birds. :eek:
