It really doesn't matter what age the bird is. Some birds
show a certain reaction to a person/persons at a very young
age and others start doing the same thing at an older age.
It's the bird's reaction and something triggers that
reaction no matter what that reaction is. If your bird
greeted and reacted with a low soothing clucking sound,
would you be here asking how to make that bird stop? My
advice , because there is no aggression involved is for your
husband to immediately go over to the cage and immediately
let him out because you say that the yelling stops once he's
out. It's probably a way of communicating with your husband.
Obviously, your bird isn't going after your husband when
he's finally out. You've tried covering. Didn't work and
that doesn't surprise me. This is just one suggestion and
opinion. Others might give you other methods.
