It seems to help them feel more secure and warmer in the winter too. Keeps them quieter in the mornings than if we don't cover. :)

Severe Macaw and 2 Timneth Greys I live in Upstate New York, USA My name is Gail	I don't cover my birds. I think it's a choice you have to make that is best suited to your situation. Cricket goes to bed on his own every night at 8:00 pm...so I really don't have to cover him. :)

California My name is Andy	Most of us seem to cover our birds, but as Gail says, you really don't have to. In the wild they're not covered, but sometimes it does help them spend a peaceful night. I'd say the same as the others, whatever works for you nodding Jan, what you do is a good idea as it helps them stop being so cage territorial 0163951 As an after thought................... I wonder whatever started the thing about drafts :question: Aren't the top of trees just a tad drafty giggle

I wonder whatever started the thing about drafts :question: Aren't the top of trees just a tad drafty giggle Yes, tree tops are drafty rasberry but all of the outdoors is one big draft. The way I've understood the draft thing is that if a bird is in a controlled environment in your house, then a sudden change in temperature could be bad, as in an open window letting in cold air. nodding
