Soo I personally think that comment was very harsh and no need for that AT ALL! If you read back (and watch videos) you will see this is a totally different noise. He has his 'happy and playing sound' which is when he seems to get over excited and attacking toys (which I now know is normal so thats fine) but this attention scream is a different ball game. The only way I can stop is to do what he wants... but that is just making it worse!
I know for a fact he is happy, healthy and loving life. You only see the problems on here, I don't come on here and post saying we just spent hours together, made toys together etc.. I use this forum for information and I don't need info on things like that.
You must just see it as he is sitting in a tiny cage in the corner, no fuss, no toys etc where in actual fact the cause of this problem is the opposite! he is OVER fussed and wants nothing but that!
I wouldn't even hesitate in saying he is better cared for than 90% of the parrots in the UK, he is like a child to us both more than a pet bird!
So it massively offends me that you would basically call me ignorant and make it out to sound like I am mistreating the bird when the problem is in fact caused by the opposite as said!
The dog has nothing at all to do with it, it just so happened we had the dog at the same time he was old enough to start properly climbing and playing with toys (hence the noise started)
he is massively interested in the puppy, he goes down to see her and makes kissed noise when they touch through the cage.. only I and VERY rarely Danielle get the kisses, so I know he isn't scared! he doesn't puff up, flap away, or anything.. he goes out his way to climb down and feed her fruit (which is bloody annoying by the way as it isn't good for her) haha
So now you have put your opinion across and I have said mine I would appreciate if you would no longer concern yourself with this thread or any other of mine. You clearly would rather pick and try and belittle me more than help! (which I know you tried but the suggestions didn't work, which didnt allow for the digs you gave at me!)
FeatherMonkey, thanks for that! I understand what your saying.. with the covering up though.. He doesn't go quiet.. He literally just stops the scream.. he whistles, talks and sings? If anything he is louder (apart from the scream) with it on

he has been perfect the last couple of days, nothing but loving and even strangely friendly with new people (men) where he would normally flare up and get away.. he is getting curious and letting them stroke (the occasional lunge at them but 10000x better than previous times he has met other men!)
thanks a lot
