Hello Hello and request for advice.
Hello there folks!
Well I'm definitely a newbie here. My new roommate moved in and with him came his loky. I have a nice split level house, but I have to admit the bird is louder than I expected him to be. Unforunately I have to say that the bird and my roommate have warned my heart and I'm not letting them go, however, I believe being a responsible co-owner is the right thing to do here. If taking care of the bird is going to be part of him living here I'm trying to educate myself with everything I need bird wise.
So my initial questions (and I apologize if this isn't the right place for them so if so please direct me.)
1) Are there any recommendations for sound-proofing a room with a loud parrot in it? Granted I know we won't be able to completely remove the sound but I would like to decrease it as much as possible and as cost effective as possible.
2) What are some recommended techniques for getting the bird to behave and be quiet when absolutely necessary. Now granted I understand that the bird is going to require attention no matter what, but is there some techniques to train him not to be so nosy.
Any help in this area is greatily appreciated. I've also bought a copy of the 'Guide to Companion Parrot Behavior'. If anyone can offer some advice with my new family member so I can learn to appreciate him not regret him, I'd appreciate you!
