It's most likely breeding season for the particular type of bird and it is declaring it's territory in the quiet of the night when all the other birds can hear it more clearly and also to impress females (I'd say it's a male). You won't be able to get rid of it, sorry, but it will stop after breeding season, probably a couple of months. Until then you might want to try earplugs. Also, keep in mind that it might also be a full moon - some birds are slightly more active on brighter nights.

Have you ever heard of two or three women living the a house together with only one man?
Sooner or later there is going to be a fight, even with just two women .They will never be totally content, even if they were all together since birth. You might put sepparate nests in the cage for each female, depending on the bird types.
I would try sepparate cages in differant rooms No two females together.

Try covering the cage making it dark for a bit each day to get a break, but be sure the item is not to heavy and air can still get in. Some birds quiet with darkness.

cover the cage, OR get it out of their systems by playing a tape of birds - I know this sounds nuts but I had a bird that after hearing the tape and talking and chattering at top capacity for a few minutes would then just shut up when the tape was off. I guess he said his peace.

Michelle,
Your female bird might be noisy because they have reached breeding age and are displaying territorial aggression in the form of calls. The nature of parrots is social, gregarious and noisy. They are very smart, sensitive creatures and their daily habits include rounds of loud calls, usually in the mornings and afternoons, typically the times parrots gather in flocks to interact. You will make your birds miserable by attempting to quiet them down. Offer them food items, fresh nuts, water to bathe, place the cage near a window were they can curiously study what is happening outside. You may wish to reduce the number of birds to own to a more manageable size, since you have now the beginning of a flock.

If they are in a busy room, just covering them will not get them quiet. You have to make sure the room is quiet too. Also make sure all their needs have been met, just like a baby. Did they get enough food, clean water, and love? Is the cage clean? Are they warm enough? A happy bird is a quiet bird.

Try putting the cage in a dark room with a towel or something thrown over it and close the door.
You can do this while they are in the room with you but they will still hear you and probably wont stop singing!

if you want your bird to be quiet, then put a night cover over their cage. i just got a bird two days ago and i already know that!
