The alarm clock I never asked for: my umbrella cockatoo

Every morning at exactly 6 AM, my parrotlet starts their morning concert. No snooze button. No volume control. Just pure unfiltered bird joy at an unreasonable hour. My neighbours in North York probably hate me. What time does your feathered alarm go off?

Absolutely love hearing success stories! This gives me so much hope for me and Jade. Thank you for sharing!

Have you tried removing mirrors from the cage — can cause hormonal or aggressive behavior? That's what solved this issue for us. Game changer honestly.

Following up on my earlier comment — I tried what you suggested and it actually worked! My Hahn's macaw is doing so much better. Thank you!

Exactly my thoughts. You said it better than I could have.

Don't worry, this is super common with blue and gold macaw. You're doing great!
