Just for fun :D

How does your parrot sleep? do they sleep in a tent? on a perch? in some other very weird way? normal? with a favourite toy?

share stories, photos, even videos! would love to see!



my tiels sleep on a perch behind a fleece curtain, but otherwise normal lol


the lovebirds however, are oddballs :p


Munch sleeps clinging to the side of the cage under one of those microfiber mop heads with her head tucked into the pocket.

Like so:




Mango sleeps all smooshed up in his tent, pressed up against his half of the mop piece (i had cut it in half)

Hahn's macaw, RIP George, Jenday Conure
I put 2 1x4's in Hahnzels cage so he sleeps on the upper deck without fear of falling off in the middle of the night.

If I come in too noisily after he has fallen asleep he tells me to, "shut up".

Faith and Liberty sleep in a sleeping "tube" all snuggled together. Depending on how tired they are sometimes they hang half way out of the tube :rolleyes:...although the tube is plenty long for both of them to sleep inside with only the ends of their tails hanging out...I had 2 beds in their cage for them but they insisted on snuggling...Sisters :p

Cute pics everyone! Kiwi usually sleeps on the rope perch in the corner of his cage, but in on chilly nights, he will sleep in his little "hut". It's very cute, he backs himself in there as far as he can and puffs up (wish I had a pic).

some of mine sleep on perches, or tents, or on top of the tents.
I use to have a parrotlet that clung to the side of the cage, under a dangling fuzzy toy

Gilbert Oliver, Blue Crown Conure; Georgie, Sun Conure (2/8/01-8/8/12) RIP little girl; Percy, budgie 1993-1999. RIP Pepito-spanish timbrado canary
When i first got Gilbert, he would hang on the side of the cage in one spot to sleep. I thought it looked uncomfortable, so i got a small perch and put it right where he was hanging, and now he stands there. I hung a couple toys around the spot and he kind of climbs in behind them, in his little "nook".

Georgie used to sleep on her highest perch in the cage, and would just kind of "sit low" on the perch and grind her beak a little while her eyes got heavy.

Percy did the "stand on one foot and turn the head around backwards" thing. I love that. That's such a cute position.

Tango a White Faced Pied Cockatiel
My little guy sleeps on the very top perch of his cage which is rope one. After he is covered, sometimes you can hear him grind his beak for about 10 minutes or he will give a wolf whistle after he is covered.

At night Neytiri sleeps on her highest perch leaning forward so her head is against the front wall of her cage. Her head ends up lower than her body many times so her face is red when she gets up in the am.

Scooter pie sleeps with his head tucked in. Haven't seen butch sleeping yet.

My budgies usually sleep side by side, clinging to the side of the cage, with their beaks hooked on the next horizontal rung up.
