SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOUR TIEL HAS BONDED TO YOUR MUM. WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIOR OF BIRDS, YOU CAN START TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION. TIELS ARE SOCIAL CREATURES AND WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH IT'S FLOCK. YOUR MUM AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY HAS BECAME IT'S FLOCK. NOW IT IS TRYING TO SOCIALIZE WITH THE FLOCK. IT WILL DO MORNING AND EVENING CALL AND WHEN HE/SHE CAN'T SEE THE FLOCK, IT WILL DO CONTACT CALLS, AND IF IT IS WANTING TO SPEND TIME WITH THE ONE IT IS BONDED TO, IT WILL SQUACK AS YOU HAVE SAID.
MY TIEL WAS LIKE THIS AND I LEARNED TO CALL BACK AND REASSURE HIM I WAS STILL NEAR. I WOULD WHISTLE AS WELL. I ALSO GAVE HIM NEW TOYS TO PLAY WITH. MY BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS GETTING ANOTHER TIEL AND NOW HE HAS BONDED WITH HER AND WON'T HAVE A THING TO DO WITH ME. WHICH IS SAD AS HE WAS VERY LOVING TOWARDS ME UNTIL THEN.

I tend to agree with SISTER FIRE. What we do with Charlie, our over sized grey budgie, when he starts to harp on and on with the telephone ring tone, annoying because he does it so well, is to cover him up and put him in a dark room.
We also take him outside and let him enjoy the sunshine during the day.
The worst bit is the Sunday papers. Charlie loves loves paper. So the solution is, when I am reading the Sunday papers with my coffee, is to lock the dogs out and let the bird out. I think it is a matter of compromise and acceptance, as it should be with any pet!

Wait till he stops yelling to pick him up. She is teaching him that if he screams he will get attention. We have a cocatoo that has this problem ( and they are MUCH louder). dont give him any attention till the screaming stops, then reward him when he stops by picking him up or giving him treats. ours is getting better but it takes alot of time. Also remember that these birds need atleast 1-2 hours of one-on one attention daily,

You could try not picking it up until it stops squawking. Even if it takes a while. I'm sure it would tire eventually!!!!!

hi iam also the proud proprietor of a tiel:) your infant probly needs extra interest or is searching for a mate as we are nearing breeding season. make effective your tiel receives a minimum of twelve hours undesturbed sleep at nighttime this can help if she is hormonal as spring has shorter hours contained in the day:) reliable luck

Get to know the bird yourself so that it stops squawking when you are near, or calmly scold him/her when they squawk until it stops.

It's lonely is all. all parrots like to be as close to thier owner/s (flockmate/s) as possible. However, when your mother is out, pop a sheet or cage cover over the birds cage and it should quiet down.

birds (parrots) are the most demanding pet you can have, I don't think most people understand this, they want and need your attention often, if you ignore them then they start screaming and plucking and biting

When mum isn't around, open the cage door, walk over to a window, open it, and set it free.
