How-do-you-do!
I am getting a male person light-green cheek soon, and I take never owned a bird. I have heard about the hormonal stage? Like they get nippy and scream?

1. Do they all get through this stage? (im assuming so)
2. When they first screaming, do they somewhen get back to being quiet birds, or will they screech for the rest of their life? (if they were originally placidity)
3.Is there any way I could make this stage easier for me and the bird?

I have heard about the hormonal stage? Similar they get nippy and scream?
They can, only non all practice.

1. Exercise they all go through this stage? (im bold so)
All parrots go through hormonal stages. Information technology's non just one. When a bird does go through a hormonal stage, they aren't e'er nippy and scream. It can vary from bird to bird. Some birds don't really react, others may become actress sweet. (not proficient!)

2. When they start screaming, do they somewhen go back to being repose birds, or volition they screech for the rest of their life? (if they were originally quiet)
That depends on you. Their environment. Their enrichment. Their grooming.

3.Is there any way I could make this phase easier for me and the bird?
Large cage with lots of enrichment! Not just toys, but foraging toys, too! Lots and lots of positive reinforcement training! Don't spend a lot of concrete fourth dimension with your bird! Too many birds become dependent upon human companionship, and then a lot of bug arise! If you heighten a bird to enjoy human companionship, but is nonetheless an independent bird, you'll have a happier, ameliorate adjusted bird! And then be sure to highly reward contained play! Reward, reward, reward desired noises!!! Don't "ignore" behaviors! Try to prevent, distract and redirect them instead!

The best manner to stop a behavior is to forestall it from occurring in the first identify! If yous set up the bird up for success in the beginning, you'll have far less issues down the route!

I have heard about the hormonal phase? Similar they become nippy and scream?
They tin can, but not all do.
1. Practise they all go through this phase? (im assuming so)
All parrots become through hormonal stages. It's not only 1. When a bird does go through a hormonal stage, they aren't always nippy and scream. It can vary from bird to bird. Some birds don't really react, others may become extra sugariness. (not good!)

2. When they starting time screaming, do they somewhen go back to beingness tranquility birds, or will they screech for the remainder of their life? (if they were originally quiet)
That depends on you lot. Their environment. Their enrichment. Their training.

iii.Is there whatever way I could brand this stage easier for me and the bird?
Big muzzle with lots of enrichment! Not merely toys, just foraging toys, likewise! Lots and lots of positive reinforcement training! Don't spend a lot of physical fourth dimension with your bird! Besides many birds get dependent upon human being companionship, so a lot of issues arise! If you raise a bird to enjoy homo companionship, merely is still an independent bird, you lot'll have a happier, better adjusted bird! So be sure to highly advantage contained play! Reward, advantage, reward desired noises!!! Don't "ignore" behaviors! Endeavor to forbid, distract and redirect them instead!

The best way to terminate a beliefs is to prevent it from occurring in the first place! If you ready the bird upwardly for success in the beginning, you'll have far less issues down the road!

What about Ignoring screaming? Don't you lot call up that is one behavior Ignoring works for?

I am dealing with a nippy baby blackness capped conure. He is amazing and very quite but nippy. His nips are non that bad more annoying. We are working on getting to know each other. I need to acquire what his triggers are. I take figured out many in the 3 weeks of having him. It takes time to work with a bird. You can't get frustrated you have to work at their speed. Don't push them. Take your time. Effigy out your birds favorite things.

I at present am keeping all training Curt and sugariness. This mode he does not feel the demand to nip. In the morning we practice stride up training with his Favorite treats. He did peachy this morning. Only I did run out of treats and he was on my hand and gave me a nip. He nipped considering he wanted more. I figured that out fast. And then I said no bites and just put him down calmly and went and got more treats and so we could terminate on a good annotation. I had him stride up he did great got his treat and that was it.

Birds just like all animals practise everything for a reason. You just have to find the reason and problem solved most of the fourth dimension. Once you know the reason yous can avoid it. At start with my piddling guy it seemed like he just would nip for no reason.

I all the same can not let him on my shoulder he gets all crazy and nips my neck. I wish he would not exist like that. We will piece of work on it slowly.

These birds take SO MUCH energy I wish mine could fly just I only got him and he came clipped. No one bird is a like. You lot just need :green2:

What about Ignoring screaming? Don't you retrieve that is one behavior Ignoring works for?
No. Yes, ignoring screaming may lead to a bird that stops screaming... withal, what yous may not know is that the bird has only given up. Is defeated. Is that really a healthy mind set up?

Or there is the ignoring information technology until the bird is quiet. Once the bird is quiet, you become in and reward the bird. Say the bird screams for 30 minutes, then is quiet. You go in and reward the bird for being quiet. The next day, the bird screams for 35 minutes, and then is quiet. You go in and reward. You're basically didactics the bird that they need to scream for longer and longer periods of time to go your attending. Guess what this leads to? Screaming all day long.

You see, only ignoring a behavior is *Non* a good arroyo to fixing the behavior. That's like putting air in a flat tire. Information technology doesn't matter how many times you refill the tire with air, it'south non going to fix that smash. Rather than trying to fix the symptom (re: air leaking out of tire), it'southward ameliorate to fix the problem (blast in tire). One time you fix the trouble, it alleviates or even stops the symptoms.

So instead of request yourself, "How tin I go my parrot to stop screaming?", you should be request yourself "Why is my parrot screaming?".

Birds just like all animals do everything for a reason. Y'all just have to find the reason and trouble solved most of the time. Once you lot know the reason you tin avoid it.
And I just have to point this out..... and loop this dorsum to screaming! LOL

See, ignoring the behavior as well ignores the reason for the beliefs.

Attempt to avert undesired behaviors, distract the undesired behaviors if you lot see them occurring and redirect the behavior. If you see an undesired behavior, what do y'all desire the bird to do instead of that behavior?

What can a bird do instead of screaming? What nearly playing with toys? Or talking? Or ringing a bell? And how can you encourage a desired behavior over undesired?

Monica nailed information technology. Ignoring the bad only works if it'south followed by rewarding the good. Ignoring the bad results in more than bad.

Ignoring screaming is dandy example. Responding when he becomes repose needs some shading though. He could exist in the middle of a screaming fit; "quiet" here means a 3 second break earlier he starts his side by side scream. You demand to respond immediately when y'all notice fifty-fifty a slight intermission in the screaming.

What near Ignoring screaming? Don't yous think that is i behavior Ignoring works for?
No. Yes, ignoring screaming may lead to a bird that stops screaming... nevertheless, what you may non know is that the bird has merely given up. Is defeated. Is that really a good for you listen gear up?...

I recollect the "screaming considering my person left the room" IS the one time when you lot should ignore the screaming, peculiarly with a baby. Doing anything while they are screaming IS the reward that reinforces the behavior.
I had a babe black-capped that would scream when I left the room. I did three things: 1-practice not come back if she is screaming; 2-await for her to make some other noise that I tin can alive with and respond/reward with a whistle/contact call; 3-when I'm leaving the room for a few seconds, I say "be correct back!". If I'g leaving the room for a long time (work, groceries, etc), I say "see you afterwards". I'm not sure she really gets the third one, but it hasn't hurt.

Disclaimer: I am in no manner as experienced as the others in this thread. This is only what worked for me. Monica, I would love to know how you handle this, since you have much more feel than I do.

Snowflake - I don't know if my conure is representative, but she is at present 1 year+ and she rarely screams anymore - loud noises similar the TV and lawnmowers are the exceptions that volition still get her to scream. She eventually stopped the nipping. She now only does information technology if she's bored, hungry, or upset past something in the room.

Sassibird,, you and Monica are really saying the exact aforementioned matter. Ignore the screaming, reward the quiet or alternative noises as you may prefer

MonicaMc

I call up the "screaming because my person left the room" IS the ane time when you should ignore the screaming, especially with a babe. Doing annihilation while they are screaming IS the reward that reinforces the beliefs.

Well, no..... non necessarily.

Instead of ignoring your bird screaming and calling out to you, yous could instead appoint your bird in a foraging activity or playing with a toy and heavily reinforce that beliefs. It'due south hard at first as the bird may stop what they are doing and redirect their attention onto you the moment yous get to leave, BUT you can teach the bird to remain calm and play independently and quietly leave like it's no big bargain, thus fugitive screaming equally you go out.

Instead of directly leaving, you can be in the area, inside view, then leave for only a moment. Come back, reward bird, hang out within view, disappear once more for a moment (a minute or two), come back, etc. Substantially educational activity your bird to play independently and not be worried well-nigh you leaving.

So you run into, y'all don't *Demand* to ignore screaming if y'all can instead reinforce a *DIFFERENT*, more than *DESIRABLE* behavior.

I try to give my birds a care for earlier I exit the room, either a tablespoon of seed mix if I'm just going out of the room, or some muffin, birdie bread, or something more elaborate if I'm leaving the house and going to exist gone for a while.

My Sydney is the only one who'south actually a screamer when I go out, but he's super attached to me. He'southward as well older, and quite stuck in his ways, but he'll only usually scream for a minute or 2 later I leave the room. If it's longer than that, I cheque if he needs anything like a fresh bowl of h2o (god forbid there's a speck of grit in it!)

He's not one for toys, though he chews everything until it falls on the floor of his cage, so I'll usually throw one of those cardboard 12-pack boxes in there for him to destroy which he loves to practice, and that'll continue him occupied long enough to forget I left the room!

If he's yelling at me while I'yard paying attention to the other birds (even if it's just changing food and h2o) I usually ignore information technology, finish what I'thousand doing, and and then get to him. He'll stare at me and make kissy noises. We do whistle dorsum and forth but information technology'due south not always what he wants to exercise!

My conures I've been lucky enough that they're contained enough to not "need" me around, but they've all been a few years erstwhile at least when I've gotten them, and so I would say at that place's a bit of a learning curve. Routine is important I think when dealing with "bad" behaviors, then they know what to expect. When I give the good treats, I'm non only leaving on a positive, simply they learn to wait something proficient when I exercise leave.

What about Ignoring screaming? Don't you think that is i behavior Ignoring works for?
No. Yes, ignoring screaming may lead to a bird that stops screaming... however, what you may non know is that the bird has simply given up. Is defeated. Is that really a healthy mind prepare?
Or there is the ignoring it until the bird is repose. In one case the bird is quiet, you go in and reward the bird. Say the bird screams for 30 minutes, then is repose. You go in and advantage the bird for beingness quiet. The next solar day, the bird screams for 35 minutes, then is quiet. You get in and reward. Yous're basically teaching the bird that they demand to scream for longer and longer periods of time to become your attention. Guess what this leads to? Screaming all twenty-four hour period long.

You see, simply ignoring a behavior is *NOT* a adept approach to fixing the beliefs. That'due south like putting air in a flat tire. It doesn't matter how many times yous refill the tire with air, it's non going to fix that smash. Rather than trying to fix the symptom (re: air leaking out of tire), information technology's better to ready the trouble (nail in tire). One time you lot fix the problem, it alleviates or even stops the symptoms.

So instead of asking yourself, "How tin I get my parrot to terminate screaming?", you should be asking yourself "Why is my parrot screaming?".

Birds just similar all animals exercise everything for a reason. Yous just accept to find the reason and problem solved most of the fourth dimension. One time you lot know the reason y'all can avoid it.
And I just take to point this out..... and loop this dorsum to screaming! LOL

Come across, ignoring the behavior also ignores the reason for the behavior.

Try to avoid undesired behaviors, distract the undesired behaviors if you run into them occurring and redirect the behavior. If y'all run across an undesired behavior, what do you want the bird to do instead of that behavior?

What can a bird exercise instead of screaming? What about playing with toys? Or talking? Or ringing a bell? And how can yous encourage a desired behavior over undesired?

Oh y'all are practiced. Y'all are right that is how you need to look at it.

For me it all comes to dog training.
The few times I have used Ignore with my dogs it is e'er followed by a advantage. Example Domestic dog barks to get me to throw the ball. I will not trow the ball I ignore the bark until the dog is quite. That is when I throw the ball. Your correct that is the only time ignore works. When you recollect nearly it you are not really ignoring but but waiting for the behavior y'all want to reward.
