Your bird will nap throughout the day and sleep deeply overnight. Give your bird privacy to help him the rest. Avoid direct sunlight and drafts when positioning your bird’s cage. Put the cage where other family members gather but avoid the main traffic area of your home where noise could prevent sleep. If your house is quiet in the day because of work or school obligations, your bird can nap at will. Your bird may tuck his head under his wing or snuggle down into the chest area. Many sleeping birds will keep their eyes closed. Don’t startle or disturb your bird while he is napping. Use a piece of cloth to cover the cage at night. This cloth will create a dark sleeping environment for your bird to sleep without preventing airflow. This cover will also help your bird feel more secure since it can protect him from sneaky predators. Learn more from your vet Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
