My girl is silent as a churchmouse during the moult. She is altogether less noisy this year than last but she can be loud.
Last year she screamed whenever she could see people. This year she only screams when she thinks I am coming out to get her. I can be outside, working around her mews and she is quiet. She no longer screams at strangers. She is quiet once she is on my glove. But when she knows I'm coming to get her she gets very excited.
I do think that teaching her to go to her perch before I enter the mews or feed her has made her slightly quieter and it definitely gets her brain going.
