sleep

My pineapple green cheek isn’t sleeping the full 12 hours. I’m not doing anything to wake her up but she always wakes up before 12 hours or even 10 hours. What can I do to help her get her sleep

Hi! I want my green-cheek's sleeping place to be in the storage room. It's the only completely dark room in the house. The problem is - there is a boiler (water heater) there and it does this low smooth constant "zzzzhhhhhh" noise. Like a long exhale, similar to the sound of a PC or a strong air...

Lumi, a quaker parrot, was asking to got o her sleep cage at 6 pm November (when got her) through January. The last week she has been asking to go to bed earlier and now she is consistently in bed at 5pm. I am still waking her up between 6:45 and 7:15 am. Why would she change her sleeping...

I got a 5 year old green cheek conure about 3 days ago and he seems to be having trouble sleeping. He’s in a large cage and i dim the lights slowly for him to go to sleep. once the lights are all the way off i still hear him climbing the bars of the cage and making small squawking sounds for a...

Recently my 8 month old pearly conure has begun to chirp and vocalize after i put him to bed, i cover his cage, turn off the light and go to a different room until he wakes up the next morning, im worried hes not getting enough sleep, what can i do to fix this behaviour? I was thinking of...

Hey! My two IRN's are about a month old now and they're developing feathers. I got them when they were 12 and 14 days old and during that time all they did was eat, poop, and sleep which was understandable. But now the thing that's concerning me is even after being a month old they're still...

Two days ago, I got a lovebird that the owner says is 6 weeks old. He said that it was off the formula, and gave me a bag of Zupreem pellets to feed it (image attached). The bird eats very well, and is learning how to use the bottle but we have a small dish of water as well. However, it seems to...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice as so far my internet searches have failed to turn up anything relevant. I have 2 alexandrine parrots, one is about 4 years old and the other is about a year old (maybe slightly younger). They have lived together in one cage for a while now, maybe about half...

My female, almost 3 yr old GCC, "Piper", has suddenly developed some brown/coppery colorations on her head--around the crown and down her nape a bit--over the black. It's translucent and I had to see her in outdoor light to see it, but it's definitely real. Possible causes I'm...

Hi, I own an Indian ringneck and I've read online that they need about 12 hours of sleep per night. So I shut the lights off at 10pm and cover his cage with a drape. Problem is, I'm quite the night owl and tend to stay up very late. Will my parrot wake up if I talk? I'm not too loud but I am...

As far as I know I don't move in my sleep. Better safe than sorry though. As soon as I turned out the lights to go to bed Baby flew over and landed on my head. Then he climbed down onto my shoulder. He snuggled up to my neck and promptly fell asleep. I sat there for a few minutes then I slid...

Hey everyone, We have a conure and she has had a triangle bed that she loves and the material she isn’t able to chew apart but we were wanting to replace it because she has had this one for a while and we can’t seem to find the same type of bed. Do you have any suggestions as to what material...

I am not a new parrot caretaker, but I am newly owned by one sassy little four year old Green Cheek, 'Bongo.' My previous bird was not a cuddler, and was in fact very hands-off. It was an entire year before he was even comfortable being touched at all, excluding his feet. He was an older rescue...

Hello i need help in what im suppose to do when i place her to sleep. I'm new in taking care of a bird. Her name is Phoenix she's a green cheek conure and is three months old. During the day she's outside of her cage and hardly makes noise. She super friendly and cuddle, likes being around me...

Before adopting my Hahn's macaw, my husband and I had a budgie and then a Pacific Parrotlet for almost 15 years. Both slept with their head under their wing. I thought that was pretty much how all birds sleep, but my husband and I do not believe our Hahn's macaw sleeps like that. Our Hahn's...

I have a lineolated parakeet as a pet. I'm also housing two budgies for a few months for a friend. I just moved into an apartment that's above a restaurant and bar. It's noisier than I thought it would be at night, until about 2 in the morning when it closes. It's about as loud as if a noisy...

Hi! So I adopted a green cheek conure two days ago. He is about 4 months old and his name is Kiwi. He goes to bed at 11 pm and wake so up at 11 am so he is getting enough hours. However, I share my aprtment with my roommate and he isn't constantly going in and out of his room. He makes no loud...

Hello! I just moved my Green Cheek Conure, Zuko, into a much larger cage then what he was in before, which I assumed hey he would enjoy this! but He has never really enjoyed being in any sort of cage but he has been not sleeping very much or even in his bed while in the new cage even though we...

Hello everyone.. I am new to this forum, but a second time lovebird owner. I just got my new lovebird, Lucky, who is around 6-7 months old. She loves to cuddle more than anything and loves to be all wrapped up in a blanket. I'm guessing this is because she is so young? She has moments where...

I have a five-year-old female mustached parakeet. A few days ago, she started scampering around the bottom of her cage at night - all night, every night sense. She's also rattling her cage. I'm very worried for her, since I know she needs her sleep, and it's been keeping me awake, too. It's very...

Hello folks. My cherry-headed conure, Pritti, is 30 years old. My ex has brought him home 30 years ago when he was a baby at the pet store. I have been his mom for 20 years. He lives with just me now in the same house and cage we've been in for a long time. Here's my question. Should he be...

My husband and I recently had to move in with my parents. Due to this move we had to put our green cheek from a large cage into one that fits in our room. Lately he has been more active at night into the early hours of the morning- playing with toys, shuffling his food and water dish against...
