yes very true, though if this specific one isn't being hormonal with it as some occasionally don't get hormonal, and if used to sleeping like this and being unhappy with sleeping any other way it would be better for a cardboard tube than a tent as I've not seen a single tent that wasn't dangerous in some form
Actually this isn't true Triggs, with all due respect, just because a bird hasn't shown any hormonal issues before does not at all mean they won't start, and the quickest way to get them to start is to keep doing things that encourage hormonal behavior, namely allowing them access to ANY small, dark, warm places that they can get under or inside of, giving them ANY type of nesting-material, bedding, wood chips, shredded papers, etc., or giving them any types of towels, blankets, or other types of cloth.
***The best example I can give you is Sunny, the Sun Conure that had a Triangle-Bed/Hut inside of her cage for the first 7 years of her life and had no hormonal-behavior or issues at all, and then out of nowhere she formed a ton of Follicles and formed the first egg she ever had at the age of 7, which was so large that she became egg-bound and had to have open abdominal surgery done on an emergency basis to remove the egg, and almost died. And now she's on hormonal-implants to make sure it doesn't happen again, because if it does she will likely die and not make it through another surgery...And the Triangle Bed/Hut is completely gone forever now...
***So it makes no difference at all whether or not your Conure has had any issues in the past with hormonal behaviors, aggressive behaviors due to hormones, or any Follicle/Egg-Laying issues, if you keep providing her with ANY TYPE of bed, tent, "Hut", boxes, or any other small, dark places that she can get into or underneath (such as furniture she can get underneath), she will eventually start having severe hormonal issues, and we never know what that will mean in each individual pet/captive bird. When their hormones go crazy they can react/suffer in many different ways, from being overly stimulated and masturbating constantly, to constantly burrowing under/into things, to becoming extremely aggressive and violent with everyone, to plucking and self-mutilating all of a sudden, to being a chronic egg-layer, which is the most dangerous hormonal issue, because egg-binding is 100% fatal without immediate Avian medical intervention, and usually also is going to cost you thousands of dollars to treat, but you have no choice at that point or she'll die...
So obviously the best thing you can do for your bird, the safest and healthiest thing you can do for your bird, especially a Conure species who are seemingly the most-problematic when it comes to hormonal issues, is to remove ALL beds, tents, Huts, boxes, etc., and anything that could be used as nesting material, and just allow her to sleep on a perch like she would normally in the wild. Parrots certainly don't need any type of "bed", and providing a captive/pet parrot any type of 'bed" to sleep in is just we people trying to provide our pet parrots comforts that we think they need, when in-reality by providing them a "bed" or tent or Hut or box, all we are doing is providing them with things that they don't need, and that absolutely can potentially not only make them sick or literally kill them, but that can also ruin our relationships and bonds with them if they happen to be effected by hormonal-rages in an aggressive, violent way. So if you want to keep your Conure healthy, safe, and not provide anything that will eventually force her into Breeding-Season and hormonal-issues that are potentially lethal, please forget about providing her with any type of bed, tent, hammock, Hut, boxes, or anything that can be used as nesting-material.
