Answer 1

Shoot it.  They are all noisy and they like to bite

Answer 2

Sun Conures are capable of learning to talk, although their range is limited and their voices are squeaky and birdlike. They like to imitate amusing sounds (microwave beeps, etc.). They really enjoy human attention, especially if there is no other bird around for them to groom and play with.

Screeching is normal for most parrots. It's how they say hi to each other and how they announce that they're happy. So in the morning and the evening, your sun conure will say "I'm here! I'm here! I'm here!" for ten minutes to half an hour. Your sun conure will also greet you when you have been away by screeching hello. And when your sun conure is in his cage, happily hanging by one foot while he tries to rip the clapper out of a bell, he'll screech because he is happy. So there are a lot of normal reasons for a parrot to screech, and sun conures tend to be especially noisy members of the family.

Answer 3

Give her to some one that wants her

Answer 4

You should have done some research before you got a conure.  They are known screamers

Answer 5

Conures are just plain noisy.

Answer 6

I have 2 sun conures myself. And they are both noisy. Mine are out of their cage 90% of the day but still somtimes make some noise. Mine only make alot of noise when they want to be let out of the cage. It sounds like it is looking for attention.

Answer 7

Hi,

You can't really train the bird not to make noise, but the best way and what most people use is just to put a sheet or something over the cage to make it dark and so then the bird thinks that its night time and so keeps quiet and goes to sleep.

Answer 8

Your bird is screaming just to get attention.  If you give in to her, she will continue to do this and it will just get worse.  I had the same problem with my cockatiel.  I quit paying him attention when he screamed, and pretty soon he quit.  It was noisy for awhile, but worth it.  The vet told me what to do.

Answer 9

If you react to her every time she is noisy, it will just make it worse.  The only way to stop her is to totally ignore her.  If you are in the same room with her when she screams, cover her up for about 10 min.  If you are in another room, just ignore her.  Don't come in to cover her up.  She would be getting her way then.  Conures are very noisy birds...

Answer 10

You should have read about this bird before you got him.  Some birds are noisier than others.  This type bird is very noisy.  I know....I have 2 of them.
