    Cockatiel Screaming- Do you think getting another cockatiel friend would help?

    I have a female cockatiel that is 5 years old. She was a wonderful pet – until I had a baby 3 years ago. I really can’t spend too much time with Birdiegirl, but I make sure she gets at least 1 hour scratchy time per day. However, the level of screaming is getting out of hand. She screams if I turn my face away. She screams if I move my legs as if I am getting off the chair. She screams if the baby leaves the room. She screams when she sees other birds outside. She screams if she hears the garage door open.

    I don’t want to get rid of her because I am afraid she will not have a good life somewhere else.

    Cockatiels love to scream. I work at Petsmart and no matter how much we interact with our cockatiels they still scream and carry on. We have 2 at the store and they scream back and forth at each other. It's their way of communicating. It might be a good idea to get her a friend though they do much better with a companion!

    Try getting her a mirror!
    If that dosnt work take her to the pet shop to see other birds, maybe she'll like one, and you can take *him/her home.
    *cockatiels are also expensive $50-200 (
