Cage Covers

[oregonparrotlover]

My brids get coverd everynight, just about to go do it now acutally. I use sheets and blankets for mine. Can even make your own!

Pita has a nice sateen mauve sheet. King size. It goes nicely with his eyes.

Just curious - why do you cover your fids?

I cover my indoor birdies with a dark table cloth.

Another vote for a dark blue sheet here. Quito has a "cozy cover" and it works great, but Tausi's blue sheet works just as well.

Kathie, you didn't ask me, but I cover my guys because I get up for work at 2am, their cages are in the living room, and there's no place in the house to put sleep cages where they wouldn't still be bothered with lights. It's entirely possible that they'd be fine without covering, but I'm reluctant to try it when this seems to work well.

I cover Valo, because I sometimes work late (1-2am) and we have to get up at 7:30am the latest... and the attention demanding guy that he is, he would not go to sleep without covering him. Since I live in a 1BR apartment, I can't just move somewhere else...
I don't think I'd cover the cage if he was in a seperate room where I can just put him to sleep when it gets dark... my student stipend just doesn't pay for that extra room

I use a black piece of fabric also. I used it for photography also. Chipper wants to be covered. She will chirp until I sing and then cover her.

I cover mine so they can get a good nights rest. Their cages are in my living room. We don't go to bed until late, like around midnight. So I don't want the sun waking them up. As it is now, they usually get uncovered around 8, so they are only getting 8 hours. I am considering covering them earlier while we are still up, I will see how that goes. I don't think 8 hours is enough. Also, I take away their food at night, and I don't want them waking up at 6, and having to wait two or three hours to eat breakfast when I get up.

i cover mine on the 2 sides and the back. the front only gets covered 1/4-1/2 way. if i covered them all the way sassy starts to hiss and will scream like a little kid,not the bird scream.

I cover my birds because one is in the living room and one is in my bedroom both rooms are used later than when the birds go to bed and my sun the attention hog wont go to sleep until i put a sheet over him/her i think it makes them feel more comfortable too
