Is your parrot driving you crazy by screaming for attention every time you leave the room?
This is an extremely common problem for many parrot owners, but there is finally a fast and effective solution! Use a remote controlled strobe light to implement a system of distraction and “positive punishment” so your parrot learns to stop screaming for attention in as little as 3 days!
Before using this information, please do the following:
1) Make sure your bird is not screaming due to hunger, thirst, pain, fear, boredom, illness, depression, etc. This training technique is only intended to be used on healthy birds to train them to stop excessive screaming for attention.
2) Try using traditional training methods first. For example, don’t yell at the bird when it squawks. If you’re out of the room when the bird squawks, don’t re-enter the room until the bird is quiet, then reward the bird for being quiet.
Note that StopScreamingPolly does not sell any products directly, we only provide information so you can build your own training kit. We have used this method on our own birds with spectacular results, that’s why we are sharing this information, not for profit. By using this information you assume any/all risks. That being said, we have never heard of anyone having a negative result, though about 5% of parrots have been reported to ignore the training.
HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN DEVICE TO STOP PARROT SCREAMING
Step 1) Purchase a Mini-Strobe Light, for example ONE of these (click image to go to Amazon):
Step 2) Purchase a simple Remote Control Power Switch, for example ONE of these (click image to go to Amazon):
Step 3) Follow these instructions for assembling and using the device: Assembly Instructions
Step 4) Properly use the device by only turning on the strobe light for a few brief seconds whenever the bird screams excessively for attention. Never point the strobe light directly at the bird. Use the device as little as possible to achieve the desired results. If the bird does not respond quickly by stopping his/her screaming, stop using the device. Assuming the device is effective and the bird stops screaming as soon as the light is used, quickly reinforce the “quiet” behavior by giving your bird love and attention, and perhaps a treat!
We sincerely ask that you treat your parrot with respect and use our devices as little as possible to achieve the desired effects. Usually one short burst of flashing light for 3-5 seconds is enough to stop any bird from screaming, and if you use this training technique consistently for a few consecutive days you should see a decrease in the frequency of the problem bird’s screaming.
Note that it is important not to expose your pet to the flashing strobe light for prolonged periods of time as this may cause your bird unnecessary stress. Always make sure that your parrot is screaming for attention, and is not in danger or injured before activating our training device. If your parrot is showing signs of significant stress including shaking, feather plucking, or sitting at the bottom of the cage, do not use these products and please consult with a vet immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Do your devices really work?
Answer: YES! The strobe light technique works about 95% of the time when used properly.
Question: Do your devices harm the bird in any way?
Answer: When used properly for short durations, our products have been shown to be completely harmless to every healthy bird that has been exposed to our technique of strobe light training. That being said, we strongly caution our customers to never expose their bird to prolonged flashing light for an extended period of time as it will cause the bird unnecessary stress. Usually 3-5 seconds is enough to distract any bird. If you have any concerns about using this product with your bird, especially if your bird has a history or known risk of seizures, please consult with your Vet before using this product. Also be sure to read and follow our directions carefully to achieve the best results.
Question: How do you KNOW it’s safe? Are you Doctors?
Answer: No, we are not Doctors, we’re just life-long bird lovers with years of experience owning, breeding and raising various parrots. We tested these products on our own parrots back in 2012 before offering them to anyone else. After achieving amazing results in just a matter of days with our own parrots, we offered free sample kits to volunteers with “Problem Parrots” in the Los Angeles area for several months. After receiving extensive positive feedback and ZERO reports of any negative impact, we launched StopScreamingPolly and began offering this information to the public. Since every bird is different, we cannot realistically guarantee that our devices will work in every scenario, nor can we guarantee that your bird will not have a negative response to strobe light training, we can only speak from experience with our own birds and with the dozens of birds that have been trained successfully so far. If you have any doubts, ask your vet before using our product!
Question: If the device doesn’t work, can I return it?
Answer: YES, simply ship the products back to Amazon!
Question: Why don’t you sell the product directly? Why do I have to buy the strobe light and remote control from Amazon?
Answer: We may offer direct sales in the future, but for now we are simply trying to help out our fellow bird lovers by providing information to help them build their own extremely easy to use parrot training kits. Amazon provides very affordable and convenient shopping as well as extremely easy returns, that’s why we suggest ordering from them. You are welcome to source your own strobe light and remote control switch from anywhere you prefer.
Question: I’m still uncomfortable using a strobe light or vibration device for training my parrot… what should I do?
Answer: Try using all traditional training methods first! Here are a few books you might try reading (click the image to go to Amazon):
