I was wondering when your IRN goes to bed.:blue2:
My baby is ready for her cage and bed by 8 p.m. every night. My budgie is up till 10p.m. tweeting away.

Hi,

I find most of my fuzzballs get cranky if not allowed to sleep at least 10-12 hours a night.

I try to put my grey and ringneck to bed around 8 pm....my little ringneck likes to play hide-and-seek when its to time to go to bed...so sometimes, 8:30.

Conversely, my conures are crazy. All they want to do is play. play play play. If i cover them, they play. If i shut the lights out they whisper to each other...they are just a colorful bundle of nuts and crackers. They usually burn out by 11pm...but they wake up later as a result.

I have budgies as well. Lots of them. If they stay up more than 12 hours a day, they start breeding so I try to put them to bed an hour before sundown.

I hope this helps!

I have always had a bedtime routine and it's usually between 7 and 8pm. The birds get used to the routine especially if they are covered and the regular use of the word gets to be understood. Mine will sometimes ask for 'bubbyes' before time.

Our 2 go to bed between 7 and 8. At our house it's pretty easy. They start getting cranky and we know it's time. When they are ready, they are READY... no stopping it.:greenyellow::blue:

Mine go to bed around 7 to 7.30 and 8pm at the latest but whatever time they go to bed at they are given 12 hours sleep and they dont seem to waken until I uncover them in the morning.

Usually anywhere from 9-10 pm. My day doesn't end until fairly late, and by the time I am all done with everything and ready to relax and spend time with them, they need to be up til at least 9. They get about 10-12 hours. Griffin usually wakes up on his own and starts talking under his cover after 10 hours.

I used to like to keep her up till 7:30 but lately her hormones make her super crazy and nippy at night to where I can't trust her in my shoulder after about 5. Normally 0830-1930 though.
