Re: please help
Hey there Maakk,
Im no expert Ive only had my birdy since november, but you say she screams at you after 8pm? is it dark at 8pm where you are? if so this might be because she wants to go to sleep. In the wild birds normally go to sleep when the sun goes down and get up when the sun rises if that makes sense. Do you cover her cage at night? I have a cover that blocks out all the light so I actually keep my birdy up later at night but then uncover it later in the morning so it gets around the same sleep as it would if were in the wild without distrupting my sleep pattern!
I cant help you with the rest though, Im not experienced with birds being afraid as my bird was already hand tame when I got him.
Good luck
