Poppie My 8 yr. old Blue fronted Amazon is the sweetest and most talkative of all my birds.
Her Nite time routine is that she like to sit in chair with me and watch TV
play and groom my hair and have little nibbles on my hand or insist on holding one finger of mine with her foot, and enjoys a good head rub till about 9:30- 10pm, then it's nite-nite time.
I'll turn to her and say " ok ready for nite nite ??"... She'll say " yep"...Say nite nite mama ( to my wife) which she says " nite- Nite- see morning"..
My wife says... Nite nite, see ya in the morning.
Poppie turns to me and say in a matter of fact way..." yum yum too" ( this means she wants to nibble a bit before she's ready for bed.) I'll say "ok, but for a minute ok?? And she says ...Ok yum yum, hurry up up, come on come on"
After a bit of munching and a drink, I go in her room and say, "Ok give dad a kiss nite nite... " She comes down off cage top and down my arm leans forward and places beak on my lips making a kissing sound. Then back up my arm to her cage where she perches outside her cage on the rope ring above her cage, she then says " nite nite- love you making kissing sounds" and I shut lite off a close door to her room with just a small nite lite on.
She's the only one I never have to put in cage at nite. Her cage door has never been closed in past several months. She has total freedom. She likes it that way. In morning I open door to room let others out and she's all bright eyed and bushy tailed saying " Hi guys, up up, come on come on, breakfast breakfast yum yum" Meaning she's ready for her breakfast.
She's adorable and the sweetest natured parrot I've come acrossed in a long time.
Anyone want to share their nite time ritual with their birds with us?

Usually they are all out and playing together. Before sleep I usually dim the lights, and they gradually slow down and go to eat something. Then they just start retiring to their cages - first the tiel, then Coco, my lovie, and finally the budgies... They want to stay with Parry, but the sleepiness takes over.
