If I'm in another room, I don't ignore my birds calls. It is instinct for birds to call out to their flock to find out if they are still there. You are his flock. I've gotten to know Lucy and Jessie's calls and wherever I am in the house I always call back and let them know I'm still there. I find that usually settles them down for a little while because they know I'm still there. You may want to try that.
But its also good that you approach him when he's quiet. The last thing you want is a bird that is constantly calling for attention.
