Sleeping habits of gcc.

[Newjaw]

I have a 9 month old green cheek and notice that he sleeps either on the perch or by hanging on the upper backside of the cage. I bought one of those tents because I hear others say that the conures love sleeping in them. Mine won't go near it. What's normal?

My gcc has a small ferret hammock and he loves playing in it, it is his favorite toy, but he doesn't sleep in it. He sleeps on a parakeet sized perch (really skinny) but I have seen him sleep from hanging onto the wall bars too.

My gal won't use the tent, wife's loves it! Go figure!

My gcc slept in the tent for the first two nights but hasn't used it since.

Aleta has two tents. One she loves and one I can't even convince her to go near it, even if I put treats in there. I don't think either is not normal. Depends on the bird. I made a fleece covered hoop and put it in her cage, and she will sleep there instead of the tent now, but I will still come into the room and find her hanging out in her tent.

Doodle sleeps for the most part hanging upside down from the top of her house, but once in awhile hanging on the side.

I can't get her to go near her snuggle hut....raises holy heck until I get it outta her site!

My two love to snuggle up in theirs. Since this pic was taken, I have gotten the Large size. As you can see, they can barely fit in the Medium, lol.

It's all up to the individual bird & their preferences...also, it takes some birds extra time to accept things we put in their cages.....

Good luck.....
