cage covers

What do you use (if you use any at all) to cover the cages at night?

I was looking at the paradise covers Paradise Canopies Dome Top Bird Cage Covers - FREE SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING WE SELL!

does anyone use these?
any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I also have a snuggle hut in the cage. GCC sleeps in it every night.

I use a blanket that has shower curtain rings attached so that I can hang it on the cage at night and remove it during the day.

I finally went out and got BLACK king size sheets. I dont use black so it made it easy to tell which is birdie cover. They are nice and dark and wash SO easy. I'm thinking about sewing two together for more dark. Black is going out of style so you can find a bargain.

Hi. I traced each panel of my cage on newspaper, then onto a heavy fabric. Then cut each piece out and sewed it together
as I went... I got my fabric on clearance at Wal*mart & the cover ended up costing me between $7 & $8. It was actually kind
of relaxing ... I just sewed it while watching a movie.




It's not perfect, but boy-oh-boy is it dark in there! Even when the overhead light is on in the living room!
