Okay, somebody help. I took in an evacuee from the Katrina huricane. It is a nanday conure, 10 yrs old. I think from what little info I got it might have been passed around. Its last owner was a retired lousiana police officer. THIS BIRD WILL NOT STOP SCREAMING!!! >:(I have tried many things, even leaving out of the cage. It does it the second it see's you but doesn't stop if you try to give it attention. I have to wear earplugs around it. I have 30 other birds to keep it company, but it could careless. Suggestions please. My husband and i rescue many animals & birds so this is not new to us, but this is a first w/this bird.

You said it's been passed around a bit. Instability in a home could cause this. Also it could be because it's missing it's owner. When I used to work in a pet store we could board birds and a few of the larger birds would start to pluck themselves because their owners were gone. The screaming could just be another way to deal with it. You could try putting it in it's cage and then putting a cover on the cage. I end up having to do this with my budgies sometimes. They all get going and are non-stop so I cover them up for five minutes or so, kinda like a time out and then uncover them and they are usually settled down and don't start up again.

A lesser known trait of a bird being weaned is that he may make unusual growling noises. While it may sound strange to you, it’s actually his way of begging for food.
