Good article, I can't agree more. We actually keep treats just inside the birdroom door for this purpose

How can anyone think giving a bird a treat when he gets loud will keep them quiet?!

Quite a nice article, thank you!

Good one Elise

After being the companion of probably one of the loudest parrots on the planet (Moluccan Cockatoo) I don't think you can make them quiet.
Toto shouts when Dave leaves the room mostly, sometimes when I do, he has never been rewarded for this, his contact call is a wolf whistle which we have taught him but sometimes he gets too excited and this gets loud.

Sometimes he is quiet all evening, sometimes he isn't, parrots are loud sometimes it drives us crazy but life with a parrot is never dull and we love them, that Too smell after a big cuddle makes it all worth while.
