Just another afternoon of delight at LeeHaven. Okay. Stop. That’s poor reporting. It is delightful to have parrots but here, Kizzy is screaming her head off and that, that my friends is really difficult to live with. I should get a bracelet for containing my emotions (don’t you think mrs. g?). I think to myself “…this must be what it’s like when you’re a parent and your 2 year old has been bad for a week! It’s all you can do not whap ‘em!”
In some countries chopping off the tip of the finger is considered an enhanced interrogation technique. We can supply that here! Parrots are no joke! when they’re in this mode.

My baby woke up screaming (for the first time like this) on Friday night… Luckily putting abottle in his mouth fixed his ails… (He has his mommy worried.)
)
Look at how beautiful Kismet is! I can imagine the noise is NOT beautiful, though! I can send you some really good earplugs – how ’bout that? Maybe she’s got Spring Fever, and is looking (in vain) for a Mr. Kismet. Just a thought…..
Karen, I know your pain…these lovely pets can be so loud. But you have to forgive them and just hope the next scream will be when you are not around. Their wings have the most gorgeous feathers, so colorfull!
I know your pain – my dad had a parrot all the years I was growing up – he would dive bomb me – the parrot, not my dad and scare me silly. He could cuss and whistle Jesus Loves Me – and would often get them mixed up. If he slept at night with one foot curled up he would forget and lift the other foot and fall on the bottom of the cage and wake us up swearing like a sailor. If we covered his cage to make him be quiet he would just yell heeeeeeeeeeeelp heeeeeeeelp.
I don’t miss him one bit. LOL
Your post was a blast! I also enjoyed reading all the comments on trying to shut a parrot up! LOL! I, as Mrs. G, think you should get a medal for putting up with that racket! Why not make yourself one, one with a long chain that you could wrap around…. Oops, maybe I’d better not give you ides! How did you get those cute captions on the photos? Do you need a special program?
Pin up a recipe for Parrot pie on the wall where they can see it! that might work! (You might want to do a little drawing of Parrot Pie with feet sticking out over the edge of the pie dish, so parrot Gets The Message). Then if they squark bang metal pie dish on table and shout ‘you’re next sweetheart!’.

I’d be interested to know if this works
Yes as a parent of a two year old this is exactly how you feel…..only unlike a parrot they even follow you in to scream when you pee….
Play some music for her. Maybe she will start dancing instead. They said on the news the other nite that parrots can definitely dance to the beat of music….
Hmmmm….what do you suppose she’s trying to tell you, Karen? At least she isn’t shouting out that there is a 12 foot alligator on your front step like that other poor woman in Fl had!! Maybe you should try squaking back to her and see how she feels! I hope you get some rest!
Cheers!
I know nothing at all about parrots other than they’re absolutely gorgeous but what if you darkened the room she’s in? Would that maybe help calm her down? What do the kitties and dogs do when this is going on?
At least he sleeps at night? I don’t know a thing about them except they do get loud. Take a feather, let’s show him! LOL
