It has been a problem for about a year now. Everyone in my family can not stand the bird now. I'm really desperate for some help, the family wants me to get rid of him. I don't want to do that, I love the little son of a gun. He also screams when I leave the room or go outside.
Birds scream for several different reasons.
Each of these can escalate into a screaming episode if not properly identified and channeled or controlled. Having a little goodbye ritual may help relieve his stress something like BYE BYE, BE BACK SOON may help him to accept that you are leaving, but that you plan to return. Then, when you do return, be sure to greet Romeo. Some birds will call and await a response. In this situation, responding to the first calls might have stopped a screaming episode before it started.
