Birds are naturally vocal, so it could just be natural vocalizations they are doing. Screaming can be caused by a number of things including the urge to mate (if you have a male and female, or if they've bonded with you), boredom, or even stress. While giving treats can help, adding in additional enrichment such as toys that can be chewed on, need to be opened up to get the treat inside, or that can be preened or cuddled with may help. If they are interested in mating, sometimes changing the amount of daylight as well as changing their diet slightly to one with less protein may help them settle down again. Spending some time together may also help with boredom. If they seem stressed, moving their cage and letting them relax someplace without other pets or people bothering them may also help.
