It is possible that the bird was too young to be weaned and is
screaming for food (handfeeding formula). I would find out what
formula they gave him at the pet store and try feeding him some
from a spoon to see if he wants it. He make be screaming from
hunger. Some birds wean later than others, or he may just need
the comfort of handfeeding something warm because he's in a new
place. You could also try warm oatmeal or warm applesauce, but I
would almost bet on the handfeeding formula. Let us know how
things go.
