Pet's info: Bird | Lovebird | Male
my lovebird does this long many chirp scream and its very loud. When he does it, he typically jumps up on the side of the cage and flaps his wings a lot as well. When we got him, he was quite aggressive and had to be kept from the other birds. What could be causing it? The yell also tends to wake us up when he does it at night. Covering doesn't always help

It could just be Mango is excited and trying to get your attention, or is bored and acting out as a way to entertain himself. Providing some extra enrichment such as puzzle toys to keep him occupied, treats, things to chew on, etc as well as letting him stretch his wings on something such as an outside of the cage playpen may help channel his energy a bit better. If he seems to have night frights at night even when covered, placing a nightlight nearby may help him settle and relax overnight.
