Lucky, Quaker, abt 18/male?
Previous birds: 2 Quakers, 2 budgies, Nanday conure, Indian ringneck, 2 tiels, Red Lory, 300+ finches.
I thought I saw a thread about how much different people's parrots sleep, but can't seem to locate it.
I know the generally accepted ballpark is 12 hours per night, but Lucky really seems to want to get up at 4:45 when I do. Usually I shush him, keep the lights mostly off, and the cage covered and he quiets down until I get them up around 6. But that means Lucky misses out on shower time until the weekend.
Also, someone is usually home and active until 9pm, even though birdies get lights out about 7.
So is the unbroken sleep more important than the early morning people time? Lucky will be going back to being the only bird the end of this month, so I want to make sure we're covering the basic needs bases.
