Hey guys! I have been trying to test out some new training methods to work on Fumble's screaming. I understand that macaws scream but I would like to try and minimize it.
For example, when my husband and I are trying to have a conversation whether it be on the phone or in person, she feels that she has to scream every time we talk and this goes for when we are on the phone with anyone else as well. This happens both when she is in the cage and when she is free to fly in the living room.
Another thing we have been working on is trying to minimize her screaming "to be let out of the cage." We don't let her out when she screams but rather wait for her to be quiet and then let her out but we haven't seen too much progress on this.
Any tips?
