first off stop rewarding his bad behavior by giving in to his demands. if youre eating something he wants and he starts acting violent do not give him the treat. tell him no and if it continues cover his cage with a large towel or blanket. once hes quiet for a few minutes remove the towel. if he remains quiet for a decent amount of time think about giving him a treat of some sort. this is my absolute favorite technique for quieting screaming birds. ive done this with more than a few different birds and it works every time. say Im going to get the towel for your cage if youre not quiet. if you follow through eventually all you have to do is say the phrase to get them quiet. once you get that in place some of his other problems will fall into place. it sounds like he thinks hes in control of the family right now and the towel will nock him down a peg. this isnt to say hell stop his aggressive behavior altogether but then at least youll be able to use the treats as positive reinforcement for good behavior rather than bad.
