Hellooo everyone!
Every night, my two year old sun conure and I have this routine where I curl up in bed or on the sofa and she lays on my chest and I pull the blanket up over her. Right now, sheβs on my chest and her head is poking out of the blanket. My vet says I shouldnβt do this ever, period, no exceptions, because it is nesting behavior, buuuut he also believes in height dominance and says I should be the βalpha birdβ which seems to be outdated bird psychology when I research. SO I thought Iβd ask you guys for your thoughts. She only does this at night and has no nesting behavior during the day. She also doesnβt defend the space if one of my other birds is around. Unless they step on her. π€£ If she isnβt sleepy enough, she wants nothing to do with getting under the covers.
To me, it doesnβt seem very βnesty,β but Iβve only had birds for a few years so Iβm hardly an expert. Thank you for any advice or opinions you have!
