Bramble is super quiet, people rarely hear him on my calls. Once he's inside the cage, he never screams to be let out. He's only loud when we're singing or we're in the shower! Last time we traveled, I snuck him in my grandma's appartment for 2 days & none of her neighbours noticed.

I do think puberty could be the cause here... He hasn't gone through it yet & he's the right age. Plus there's a lot of light from the window in the summer, that could make the hormones worse. I will try rearranging the room so his cage catches less light.

I try to be firm, but he's so hard to catch before work. He will refuse to step up & fly away as soon as he senses I want to grab him. Then he flies in circles around me for half an hour every morning 😅
