How to manage bird sleeptime?

[RemiBird]

Thank you everyone for all the valuable advice! I get the feeling that I may have to experiment a bit until I find the right ratio/timing for the bird, which I’m happy to do.

I totally agree that living with humans is a completely unnatural situation for a bird so I want to do my utmost best to give it as much as I can. I maintain that their dinosaur ancestors didnt inherit the world for nothing, they are the avian equivalent of humans. Hence why I’d ultimately want to both flight train it (park flights incoming) and train it to the standards required in Australia to act as a therapy bird, that way I can give it a flock consisting of at least 1 whole school rather than just a flock of 2 (me and my partner)!

I am heartened by how passionate everyone is about these animals, but maybe avoiding tongue in cheek comments in written format would be helpful for clearer communication and reducing miscommunication/assumptions.

I think it's going to be a one lucky bird who gets you as a parront
I know Remi is so much better off now than he was before I got him.
As long as we strive do give them a healthy and happy life to our best abilities. Also, I am sure if Remi could speak, he would definitely say no to a life outside on his own, without my fuzzy robe to cuddle next to, without his favorite treats etc. Eating worms and watching out for predators? Maybe not.

Therapy birds are distinct and wonderful ambassadors to children! Your professional skills will enhance training and achievement of required standards.
