4 Budgies 2 males and 2 females.
Sheldon,Raj,Elsa, Anna and my GCC Joey.
Was wondering if I should cover my GCC cage at night. I cover my budgies cage but wasnt sure about covering his. I have tried both and he sleeps fine both ways. When I cover him he still wakes me up at the crack of dawn and when i dont he still sleeps fine. His cage has a play gym at the top so covering it makes it hard. I just wanted to know what others thoughts were.
Thanks for any suggestions and feedback!

If your sleep area is truly quiet and dark, then you are fine going uncovered. You could always consider using a separate sleep cage, many folks do that. Our Bongo demands it!

TBh if you cover the cage and the room he is in is like a motorway service station then it will make little or no difference.

Parrots need 10/12 hours of rest/sleep and this needs to be dark and quiet.

I cover mine and he likes it, asks for it and it also offers some warmth in the cooler months.

I used to not cover Laylas cage but when Jazzi came home she had a really hard time settling in her cage at night. They are in my master bedroom and I do stay up fairly late. So I bought two cozzzy covers for their cages and they are like magic. Lol. They sleep soundly from the minute they are covered until they are uncovered. I feel great knowing they are getting 11-12 hours of sound sleep now.

I second the Cozzzy Covers. I used to have cage covers that were not real dark, and my two Conures wouldn't sleep well. With the black Cozzzy Covers they calm down quicker and sleep much better.
