Vocalization Allow your conure some vocalization. Keeping a conure quiet 24 hours a day is an unrealistic goal. Use your bird's natural instincts to help keep your space squawk- free some of the time. Birds thrive on routine. Most will vocalize heavily at dawn and at dusk - just like roosters. Simply cover the cage with a heavy, dark cloth (or several) and your bird will think it's time to crow when you remove it. Do this regularly, and start when your bird is young. Birds have great internal clocks and may not let the dark cloth hinder their morning vocalizations. Make a "squawking schedule," setting down times when you - and your neighbors - won't mind the noise. A few hours out of the day should do the trick. During the times when you want your bird to be quiet, either interact with it, or find something it likes to do, like tear apart a wadded up ball of tissue paper with a nut inside or dissemble Popsicle sticks you've glued together (with a small dab of nontoxic glue). You can make these things in advance, and offer them to your bird at the same time each day. It will begin to look forward to the treat. But you will hear some squawking if you're late with it! |
