Answer 4

First of all, do not hit him, yell at him or try to intimidate him. He won't trust you if you do.

There are a few things you can do - look him in the face and say sternly but not loudly, "No" or "Bad bird", and let him know he did something bad by ignoring him - no communication, no eye contact, and leave the room if you must. If he starts flapping around and screeching and won't calm down you can cover his cage with a light blanket for a few minutes until he calms down.

Also, make sure he has some toys or something to chew. Birds can be pretty destructive when they're bored.
