My husband and I have had our own experience with our blue and gold macaw, Nimo regarding his screaming. Before we got his sleeping cage for the back room, Nimo would scream quite a bit in the morning, which set my husband on edge before his busy day. Mark would have bad thoughts about Nimo because he was mad and stressed by the early morning screaming. Well...... Mark began to change his attitude and Nimo stopped screaming in the morning. Mark began to think calm and loving thoughts about Nimo as he was getting dressed (upstairs), and Nimo would call out to him to say Hello! Mark would answer back and when he came downstairs, Nimo would be sitting quietly waiting to say good morning. This is the only reason after examining all the other factors as to why Nimo changed his behaviour. So believe it - parrots really CAN read your mind LOL! Pamela
