You know your bird better than anybody—and if you have owned it for a while, then you should be pretty familiar with the frequency and types of vocalizations that your feathered friend makes on an average day. If you begin to notice a change in the level or kind of vocalizations that your bird is making, then it could be a sign that your pet is experiencing depression. Many birds resort to screaming out of boredom or frustration, so if your bird is louder than normal, it may be a sign that your pet would like to spend more time interacting with you.
