Feeding Times

It seems Jack B Nimble would like for me to get an opinion on this important subject. Dog house rules apparently do not apply in this case. Or do they?

I tried the search block but I'm not clever enough to retrieve the answer I seek.
If you work odd hours is it cruel to show up and feed a guy dinner at 23:00? He doesn't seem to care what time it is as long as I place the right combination of grub in the trough (it's a bowl but he eats like a pig soooo)? After he finishes he climbs back up to his throne and goes to sleep. In other words first breakfast is around 08:30. Then second breakfast is about 10:30. Then lunch is around 12:30. After that I may be out of pocket for 10 hrs. Around 23:00 is the best I can do for supper time. I leave pellets and mix during the day. I guess I'm concerned about a more natural feeding cycle. I mean I've never seen a wild bird chow down at a feeder in the middle of the night. Don't seem natural. I would love to be able to run home and have supper with him at 18:00 but that's not logistically possible everyday.

I keep seeing the contraption Dr. Emmit Brown designed for his dog Einstein in Back to the Future. The auto dog can opener feeder:06:

Arrivederci y'all

Odd hours are always an issue more because of what happens when the work schedule hits the non-work schedule!

If you can work at keeping the feeding time for your Parrot as near to the same regardless of whether its a Work Day or a Non-Work Day! Parrots will adjust and do fairly well. The problem comes when thing change the patterns. That is when problems really develop!

I'm about to ramble... apologies in advance!
My story...

I got the Rickeybird in 1984. I was in college and then grad school, so I spent LOTS of time with him. Then it was time to go to work!
There were were years (about 25 of them) when 5-6 days a week, I was gone at 7:30-ish and back at 6-ish.
Some did and will consider me wrong and think I should have re-homed him.
Anyway, here is what I think made it work.
I moved and got new jobs maybe 5 times or so. BUT...
Every morning, he had at least ten minutes, and every evening, he had 20 or so. I have always kept him on a natural light schedule, in a separate room, so sometimes those times together were in the dark. During the day, he had a big window looking out on something interesting, a television on one of his favorite channels (Music channels, CNN - he loves talking heads), a biggg cage, lots of fun foods, and a few toys that I changed out regularly).
He KNEW he could count on those two crummy sessions a day. Somehow we both made it.
I'm now retired and times are good again.
As far as changing schedules... I think LIGHT is very important. Ever since the Rickeybird hit sexual maturity at about 3-4 years of age, I've had to manage his hormones! If kept on too steady a long day, and too much light, he stayed "in the mood" (aggressive, even louder than usual, pleasuring himself on my neck ) year round. If I keep him on a natural light schedule... up with dawn, down with dusk, year around... THEN he's only a little monster rooster from July to September). He has his own room, so I can do that easily.
Good luck!
