Our lovebird keeps on yelling even when he's not alone in the room. He has food and water but still yells and it's quite irritating. Is he alright? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | unneutered | 10 years and 4 months old

Kiki may be bored, stressed or ill. Provide more interaction and attention if possible. Birds are flock animals and although some are fine alone, others may need "company". This extra attention could be from human or avian companionship. Rearrange the cage to provide enrichment. Switch out old toys for new toys, provide different sized perches and offer a variety of foods for him to forage. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, loose droppings or sitting quietly with eyes closed and feathers puffed out. These can be signs of illness requiring an exam with an experienced avian veterinarian.
