Insomniac keet??
I'm Julie, new to this site. I have a couple questions about my new parakeet, Pippin. He doesn't seem to sleep-EVER. I sneak up on him at night, early in the a.m., whenever...he is always awake! What the heck? Birds close their eyes when they sleep, right? Also-he is deathly afraid of his water dish. He is a baby, approximately 4-5 months old but I don't think that should make any difference. The only way he will drink water is if I hold him in my lap and bring the dish to his beak, then he will take a few sips. This is not practical!! I'm so worried he's going to get dehydrated...how much water does a parakeet consume in a day on average? Thanks for any help any of you can offer! : )
