So Charlie has been so amazing with letting all his feathers grow back for the first time in two years. We?ve been extremely diligent in keeping his routine the same. The only thing that fluctuates is how long he stays asleep due to work. As well as when he goes to sleep, if we?ve been home we wake him up around 9am and put him to bed 5-6pm (whenever he starts getting cranky or falling asleep on his own). When we work we have to wake him up at 5am and put him to bed 830-9pm. We verbally tell him ?we?re going to work tomorrow? or ?we?ll be home tomorrow? before bed and that has been helping him get an idea of how long he?ll get to sleep that night. It also has made waking up easier for everyone involved.
A few mornings ago we woke him up to find he started barber again. It?s pretty gut wrenching as he?s been so good! It only seems to happen when he?s in his sleep carrier, not really even when we?re at work (that we can tell but everyday is a surprise). Which has one perch and a water bowl. Nothing else as we didn?t want him to avoid sleep and eat/play when he?s in there. We?re starting to rethink that strategy. We cover him with a thick blanket for light/sound blocking. I know these are the longest days of the year and that likely plays a role in all this. This has been an amazing few months for Charlie. He?s eating more than chop than ever and growing his feathers back. But this set back makes me want to reevaluate what we could be doing better or differently. You all are so knowledgeable I was hoping you could help. Thanks!
