I couldn''t imagine my Sun screaming in the shower, I'd go deaf! Showers are just perfect echo chambers.

An idea on how to address the noise when she's/he's not in the shower or doing the dishes with you: Try putting your fid into it's cage and covering the cage with a towel (something that will damp'n the sounds of running water thru your pipes, and also blot out light quite a bit) and see if this calms her/him during these times. It seems that birds seem to stay relaxed and calm more when they're covered and the lights are low in some cases.

If it works, you can continue the "covered" behavior until she/he gets used to the fact that running water does not mean it's "play" time and she'll get less excited everytime.

That's what I would try. It's harmless and it's only a few moments of being covered - stay calm and talk to your fids thru the covered cage so that they stay calm and don't see it as punishment.

That's about the only thing I can think of. I imagine the landlord will eventually have an issue if the screaming continues... :( Just a few months after getting our conure we decided that even tho we didn't have any complaints yet... it was time to become home owners instead of renters, as we knew that Conures are just famous for screaming and are not an "apartment environment" friendly bird. Being home owners for about 18 months now... we obviously have no noise problems to worry about now.
