Most people just believe that their parrots are going to scream a great deal and let it go at that. The reality is that if you’ve got dogs who bark constantly you can train them to stop, and if you want them to bark on command, you can teach them that as well.

Any animal, even the least intelligent can be taught to do, or not to do certain things. Parrots are very intelligent animals so that holds particularly true of them. You can stop parrot screaming by teaching your parrot another behavior pattern.
One writer tells of a parrot who attacked every man who came within half mile of him, and was unable to be sold. He was eventually trained to not attack men when he saw them, and your parrot can be trained to stop parrot screaming at each and every event in the same way.
Parrots practice a screaming behavior for several reasons. At several times over the course of the day, the parrots call is a flock call, assuring themselves that everyone is there. These screams probably can’t and should not be punished or be something that you attempt to halt. They are a natural part of the birds behavior and are necessary to them. The parrot considers you to be part of that flock and is just checking to make sure that you are there and all is well..
The second type of screaming is the kind of thing that you’re going to want to put a halt to. To stop parrot screaming you may need to change a few of your own behaviors as well. Parrots often hear screaming, shouting or loud noises in the house and consider that it’s okay for them to scream to make themselves heard too.
They will screech loudly when they want attention and often make quite a ruckus in attempting to get it. Many pet owners take a poor tactic in order to halt the shrieking behavior. They will continuously screech in many cases just to get attention while the owner looks for ways in which to punish them.
Those methods may be to shout, to scream, to throw something at the parrot, or even to spray or to douse them with water..
All of these methods are generally a dismal failure for one reason or another. The bird is confused, the owner is upset and eventually, after being shouted at, the bird becomes reticent to interact and won’t take a bath because the water has been used as a punishment for so long.
Rather than using methods that won’t work, try a few that will. Your parrot wants some attention when he or she is shrieking Try not giving them that attention at all. No shouting, no toys, no water sprayed at them until the screaming stops. Even though your behavior is destructive when you spray the bird or shout at it, you still give him what he wants. Attention.
Spend no time at all on the bird until he or she stops screaming and when it has completely subsided, then go to the bird and spend some time scratching and playing. In no time at all your parrot will realize that you’re not rewarding his behavior with attention and stop parrot screaming.
Make sure that your bird gets adequate attention from you every day.
