So I have had my CAG Kooper since August. He has displayed a variety of wonderful and obnoxious sounds in the many months I've had him. The problematic sounds have mostly been linked to specific behaviors, for instance he makes a loud annoying slide whistle whenever I leave the room. But those sounds are usually specific to a certain situation.
He has started making a really piercing sound at random times now that doesn't seem to be linked to any specific behavior so I don't know how to work on getting him to do it less. If it was related to wanting attention or food I could try and work with that but he will make this sound for pretty much any reason. If he hears the dogs next door, screech. If I pick him up to go to the living room, screech. When I uncover his cage, screech. When I leave the room or even look at the door, screech. I think I know where the sound came from but I'm at a loss as to how to get him to do it less. Nothing has changed in our daily routine, he gets the same amount of attention and time out of his cage. The only thing that has changed is that he is becoming more hormonal again with the days getting longer and he has been growing in a lot of feathers.
Does anyone have advice on reducing unwanted sounds?
