Default Need help w/ screaming spectacled!!!!

I am in desperate need of help/advice. I have a female spectacled who is about 15 months old. I love her to death, but lately she has been driving me up a wall. She never was a very quiet bird, but over the past 3 or 4 months she has turned into a complete terror. All she does these days is scream almost constantly whenever I leave the room. I cannot figure out how to get her to stop. This is becoming a real problem; she is incredibly loud and I live in an apartment. I'm worried that my neighbors will start complaining soon and if that happens I'll have to get rid of her. Can anyone help me?

You can try to change the contact call she does when you leave the room. When she screams for you when you leave do an acceptable sound back ie: a whistle or saying her name something quieter then a scream.

When she is quiet make sure to reward her so she knows that being quieter is a desirable behaviour.

I only met one spectacled amazon before and it screamed now matter what in or out of the room, whether you picked him up or put him down, however this changed when the next time i saw him he was in a different room and man that bird rarely screamed after that. maybe your bird is scared of the room she is in? try to maybe change the room and if that doesnt work do as the other person said try to reward her when she is quiet. But something that worked for my parrot was we found scavenger food toys. it worked like a charm when i played with her she didnt eat so when i left she wanted food and a bowl she got bored of, so we found those toys and bam she was content for atleast an hour for just hunting food.
