How Seasons can make your Parrot more Vocal

My Parrot Screams More in the Spring and Summer:
With spring and summer comes longer days. The light is brighter, the sun stays out longer and the environment warms up. For the most part, these are the months we all anticipate and enjoy. However, living with a parrot can be quite a challenge during this time of the year. Some households will notice their avian companion becomes quite vocal during the spring and summertime.

So what causes this to happen?
In the wild, longer days and a warmer climate equals breeding season for most birds. Parrots in captivity also experience these changes and it may cause increased hormones. Your bird also anticipates and appreciates the warmer seasons. Your parrot may instinctively relate this to breeding season and begin to call our for a mate. Just take a listen outside; it is as if the world and nature comes alive with light and warmth.

Seasonal Screaming for a Parrot:
When your avian companion vocalizes more during the warmer, longer days it is referred to as seasonal screaming. Seasonal screaming usually only last a few minutes each time and is completely normal. It is important to realize that this type of screaming is not a behavioral problem. Just as your bird vocalizes in the morning when the sun comes up and often signals time to retire at the end of the day, this is a natural trait and should be expected. Screaming to get attention is a problem but hormonal triggers are not attention seeking. With that being said, you could be encouraging hormonal behavior in your parrot which could lead to this mating call.

Hormonal Triggers and a Screaming Parrot:
Parrot owners contribute to hormonal triggers at times and are not aware of it. During the spring and summer months, petting and cuddling your companion bird for long periods of time, especially stroking under the wings, can sexually stimulate a mature parrot. Although it is important to provide affection to your feathered friend all throughout the year you may want to limit sessions of petting during this time if screaming becomes excessive.

If you have a parrot that does not have a behavioral problem and it usually does not scream to seek attention, seasonal screaming will be short lived and will not become an issue. As always, make sure not to react or encourage screaming in anyway for this will only enforce the situation. Don’t worry, soon your feathered friend will return to their normal selves.

Most popsicle sticks and tongue depressors are made out of birch, which is considered a bird safe wood. These items can make fun additions to bird toys to provide additional texture, shape, and color.
