cover cage at bed time
- when Coco came to live with me, the original owner said cover her at night, this I did, but discovered, that Coco seemed to become more stressed out, and showed her displeasure, by, chewing holes in the cover, at this time, she was in the living room, so,l decided to change rooms, her room now is in the computer room, where I spend a lot of time, at bedtime, in order to darken the room, all I have to do, is close the window drapes, she is warm, and dark, and that works for her.

Do you cover your bird's cage @ night?
- yes I do!! I believe it makes her feel secure so I try to cover her even though some times I forget.. It also keeps her warm.

No I don't
- My parakeet doesn't really know the difference when I cover the cage, she just does what she does in the cage normally as if the cage wasn't covered so I just don't bother doing it. I cover the sides to prevent drafts and keep the bird warm

Cage Covers
- Yes, I always cover my birds' cages at night. It helps protect them from drafts, helps me to control the amount of light they get, and it seems to make them feel safer and cozier. In fact, some of my birdies actually complain if I'm late covering them up around their bedtime. :)

Leelu
- I have one green cheeked conure named Leelu. I cover her cage at night and she has no problem with it. On the contrary, it allows her to get some sleep while I'm up into the night working on book reports and such. (I'm 14) It also seems to make her feel safer and protects her from drafts. I like the extra couple of minutes of sleep it buys me. (not that thats always much. She woke me up at 6:15 this morning.) Also, she seems to like me validating that I'm still there after the lights turn off. I say "goodnight Leelu" every night and she responds with a pretty little chirp noise.

My Sun Conures are like little kids.....
- I have two sun conures and they cannot wait to go to sleep,, They are like two little kids.... Yes, I do cover the cage and leave a little section about 8 inches by 6 inches uncovered somewhat like a little window so they don't feel trapped and can view if they must... I think it is very important to cover all birds at night...... Not only do they get a SECURE sleep they need darkness & coziness.. Sleep is VERY IMPORTANT for their health especially for our sensitive birds that are in captivity...... most birds require 12 to 14 hours of deep sleep.... and the covering gives them a sense of security from preditors which promotes a deep sleep.... Good Luck.. Regina

Cover?
- Yes, I cover my Cockatoo (Kona) every night. We generally keep the house cooler @ night. Also, covering helps Kona sleep while we watch during the late evening hours.

covering birds cages??
- No, I don't, because i let them wake up with the sun, and go to sleep when the sun goes down... I only cover them when it's cold out seeing it can get 0 degrees in the winter...
- —Guest Joan
YES I cover my birds
- I cover them cause they tell me too and I don't want to listen to the screams, and it helps me sleep in when the summer days are here
