Help me please...this is for those with Parrot knowledge

In order for your bird to understand you when you catch him/her acting up, it's necessary for you to remember the correct way to respond. While a normal "human" response to an unpleasant discovery would be to loudly declare your grievance, a bird can interpret this reaction and body language as excitement--meaning that he/she may actually think you are praising the behavior. Conclusively, dealing with a bird's behavior problem can be just as much about training yourself as it is about training your pet. In order to respond properly to undesirable behavior, it's helpful to keep the following steps in mind. With consistency and patience, you may find that it won't take long for your bird to catch on. 1. Have the bird step up onto your hand. When your bird misbehaves, have/her steop up and hold him/her at eye level. 2. Be very expressive. Don't be afraid to frown at your bird. Birds are capable of picking up on facial expressions, and most get the idea if your body language expresses your distaste for his/her action. 3. Speak softly, but sternly. Use a tone of voice that is low but not loud when you tell your bird that he/she has done wrong. Be as "matter of fact" as possible, but keep it short. 4. Place your bird on his/her cage or perch. After you've conveyed your dissatifaction, have your bird step off of your hand and onto his/her cage or perch. Allow him/her to stay for a few minutes to reflect on what happened, and then go back and interact playfully with your pet -- he/she should know that you are no longer upset with him/her, and that he/she is now being a good bird. ~*~These are tips I used to train my bird with when I first purchased her and have had a great deal of success with them. I hope they can help you. I wish you good luck and hope soon your bird will be a more quiet one.~*~

My parents have two Blue&Golds, and they can be awful. Do you perhaps have a room where you can 'confine' her out of sight? It may help if she doesn't see you - we found that they go into quiet talk mode when they are out of the conversation.

unfortunately responding to the bird when she makes noise is just encouraging the behavior. you need to remove the bird from your presence... put her back in the cage and cover her. when she has been quit, tell her she's good and give her a treat. try letting her be back out of the cage again.continue doing this until she gets it. be patient... it may take a while. i have macaws and they can be a challenge!

lol oh i'm sorry I'm laughing but i can imagine your bird is loud i have noisy little birds and when the tiels hear a whistle on the tv it sets them off what i do to get them to hush is turn all sound off this seems to work for me or the one that talks i talk back to or put him on my shoulder seems he is shy when on me

oh my! have you tried turning on the radio or the tv during the time that she needs to be quiet? try a talk show so it sounds like she gets repsonses perhaps. when my conure gets overly loud and obnoxious i will drape a cover over the front part of the cage. only do that for about 5 minutes or so (otherwise they forget why it was done) and only when she is being too loud. as soon as she settles down take the cover off, praise her and leave her alone again. keep doing it when she gets too loud. eventually she will realize the "timeout" goes with the "too loud". you have to be super patient cause it may take a while for her to figure this out. hope that helps you! good luck and dont stop loving her, she just doesnt realize that being loud isnt the preferred way of letting you know she loves you too!
