Alexandrine alarm clock?

[Vlad23]

every morning at around 8:00am my alexandrine parrot has been making the loudest screech 3 times then stops, is this anything to do with that i got him 4 days ago? and is there anyway i can teach him to stop?

Alexs scream morning and night. It's their natural behaviour. Maybe the breeder responded after 3 times and it has grown used to people responding at that time? Don't think there is much luck of making him stop, your lucky its only 3 times lol.

aw haha, well its holidays for me & i love to sleep in

What holidays are you celebrating in Oz?

A bird's natural instinct is to scream when the sun first comes up. It's a way to let the flock know he's okay and ready to start the day.

I don't know why your Alex stops after three screeches. It's pretty cute IMHO, so you'd better get to sleep earlier in anticipation of that "rude" awakening every morning!

It's christmas/summer holidays here in Oz.
