Hello
I have a male cockatiel named Kiko who turns 2 in November
For the past 2-3 days, I have assume day that Kiko has started to sleep LESS during the night. He has a coconut bridge in his cage which he uses a bed, and I don’t see him go on it at night in front of me. He just stays on his perch. I usually wake up at around 5am and I always take a little peak at him, and usually he’s asleep but I have found him awake. I am not sure, but I have a feeling that he isn’t sleeping much at night. Also, he has suddenly become VERY active at night. His bedtime is usually 9:30 - 10:00pm, and during this time he gets very sleepy and cranky, but he has been whistling and being very playful till 11pm and later.
He has also been taking more naps in the day time which is why I feel that he isn’t sleeping much at night. Even though he’s active and playful during the day as well, he doesn’t take as many naps as he is now.
Should I be concerned? I tried to see what could be causing him to not sleep at night but nothing has changed in his surroundings.
