I have a male cockatiel which has lost his mate recently. He was in the cage with another 2 birds but I have had to remove one of them as he was constantly picking on her, so he is left with a male in the cage. He is calling out constantly, all day every day. He has toys, he is in the living room so there is always someone around, there are 2 other birds in the house besides him (a mini Macaw and a blue pennant rosella, the male with him and the little female we had to remove, and its getting to the point were its driving me potty. Not only is he shouting but he is setting the rest off as well (the Macaw can get pretty loud) Is there anything I can do to stop this, he wasnt like this before, he either gets covered till he is quiet or ignored at the moment.
Yesbecause of the Periods. So, they lose blood, so they have to get more iron
Because of their Periods, they lose a lot of Iron!
You can't just separate animals like that, he is pining for his friends.Put him back in with his friends and you may see an improvement.
1.Put a towel or blanket over the cage. Make sure there's enough air flow (and note, polyester fabric does not breathe!). The cloth will block out the light of day(make it a black towel.) and lull your pet bird back to sleep. Turn off the lights. Most birds will become quiet in the dark. 2.Realize that birds are smart and may learn to use this as a means of getting your attention. If you proceed to yell at your bird when he's loud, he thinks the two of you are just yelling together in sweet harmony. They don't find yelling irritating. Instead, remain nonchalant as you hush your bird. Don't make eye contact (but do make sure that the bird is okay). 3.Understand that early morning and evening are natural bird singsong times. The 5am noises are known as morning chorus. If you live near the countryside, you may hear all the little songbirds chirping just before dawn 4.Realize that a bird's going to make some noise sometimes. If the bird is just singing a bit too loudly, this is not the bird's fault. Their voices were meant to call flock members through the jungle foliage. Shut your bedroom door and put the pillow over your ears! 5.Be sure to reward birds who are behaving quietly. This can be done by giving the bird a food treat such as apple slices, plain popcorn (no butter, salt or other seasonings), or even cooked pasta (without any extra ingredients such as pasta sauce, which is high in sodium and can be harmful to birds).

some tiels are noisier than others. yet all are surprisingly plenty squawkers. you may attempt overlaying the cage at cases and dimming the lights a sprint. in no way positioned them in finished darkness as they are services to nightfrights. possibly attempt a radio on low. pass the cage to a distinctive area of the abode. substitute issues around interior the cage. pass her toys and perches. a brilliant form of toys arent good, they lose interest. positioned a million or 2 in and each couple of weeks replace them with some thing else. If she's getting alot of interest from you whilst shes doing this, then what she is doing works for her. She'll proceed.
