Removing toys at night?

[GaleriaGila]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while...

Do y'all remove some or all of your bird(s)' toys from the cage at night?

I always take the big ones, or ones that swing, OUT. I leave the small ones on the bars. I worry that Mr. Reckless might hurt himself. He used to have night-flaps and that's when I began. No more night-flaps, but I just never stopped.

I never have but definitely would if my sun had any night flap/fright issues. Hes cuddled away in his little sleep towel from 7-7 though so I dont need to worry much about it.

I never remove the toys at night.
Where I live now they have no night-frights,
In my previous house the had, but I didn't remove
the toys at night.
I slept upstairs and the parrots down, so when they had
night-frights, I could hear it, because then I heard ringing the toys.
Then I went down to make them calm.
But as I said .... where I live now, they do not have the night-frights.

No changes at all. Some of them prefer to sleep outside the cage but are in a safe room. They are pretty good about calming down once the sun goes down and the lights are turned off.

Nope. Salty's foot toys stay in. For the last 3 months or so his cage has become a feeding station and hi sleeping cage. He rarely goes in and plays, he'd rather be on his chain or boingy or a shoulder or on the back of one of the couches. His schedule is 10 to 10, pretty hard core too. Deri often sleeps in the living room next to has cage, and we have never heard a peep outa him. Ha Ha, the Rickeybird has more quirks and tic then I do!!

Thanks, y'all.

I guess I'll just keep doin' what I do, then.

The Rickeybird *IS* a TIC!

I think you should do that. That is the best Gail.

If I had to remove all the toys in Luci's cage every night, I'd wear myself out! But we all know that Rickeybird's a little nutty while Lucille likes to sit still and silent like a rock most of the time, so I think you're making the right decision!

Here's what my love leaves out. Nightly, as she removes the big toys, she must contend with the Winged Terror, who, while in my opinion doesn't really care much for the toys, doesn't like to have them removed. So he flies around attacking her hair and shrieking, I believe. I have no idea what all goes on, it's all upstairs in the bird's (as the Mrs says) "palatial estate". Eventually, she comes down the stairs with her hair looking like the Medusa. I usually say " everything okay?" and she says "yes!" and then we get on with the happy RICKEYBIRDLESS portion of our evening.
