Had my tiels for 72 hours...I am so Anxious

[Gladriele]

Hello all,

I am so anxious I feel sick. I have done SOOO much research and was fully prepared for everything......accept that they need 10-14 hours sleep.

Husband and I are early risers so black sheet goes over cage at 6:30-7pm and we wake them at 5:45-6. I realiserd that's only 10 hours.
Also my husbands and I live in a 2 room bungalow - lounge in one room and bed in the other with no other space. The only other spot we could put them would be in our walk in robe - this however has little air flow and is a bit stuffy. but they way they would have darkness and be able to sleep for a lot longer.

We put the cover on and speak a little but are usually gaming on computers with headphones. So only mouse clicks and keyboards. Occasional talking. is this okay?

We discussed not waking them at 6 and instead wait until we are home from the gym at 7 then they get the 11 hours + naps.

I am so scared and want them to be as happy and healthy as can be. Does anyone have experience with little space and them sleeping?

They seem lively and happy and they nap around 12-3 on and off. Lots of beak grinding and fluffed cheek feathers <3

Please help/advice would be so wonderful.

My Amazon and 'tiel have their houses in the living room. I cover them between 9-9:30pm. My brother watches tv with lights on until 10,sometimes later. The birds quiet down within minuets,sometimes BB will chirp or tweet and I uncover them anywhere between 8 and 9 am...never had a problem..you should be golden
