The screaming may be due to boredom, stress or lack of attention. She may also be entering a bluffing stage. Ignore the screaming. Do not yell back or pay less attention to Mango. Increase attention and interaction. Use a variety of toys and treats to keep her occupied. Make sure her cage is large enough and away from drafts or high traffic areas to reduce stress.
