Frankly if your birds screaming for an hour at a time then I don't think it will work and you would need alot of time dedicated to just walking in and out of the room........zzzzzzzzzz, you may need a week off work or something lol.
Probably not an idea that is realistic for most people but I mentioned it because I know of one person who it has worked for (she didnt have a job)and seen a thread on it on another forum and it worked for the majority of people who found the time and patience for it. I'll try find the link when I get home from work and have more time.
