Cockatiel I live in Pennsylvania My name is Bonnie	I cover all of my birds, I get up at 5:15 am and if they weren't covered they would start waking up way too early just by seeing me moving about the house. I want them to get at least 11 hours of sleep. I'm very quiet and don't turn on any lights other than the night lights that stay on all night but if they saw me they would start waking up :) Another thing is my apartment is very small so they can all see me :lol: Some members don't cover there birds and I didn't use to but I had a large bird room that was away from the living area of my house.

Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	Mine are in my living room and as I said I cover them at 7.30 whether they go to sleep then or not I dont know, but they dont make any noise so I take it they are either asleep or resting. To be honest Bubble and Squeak are sat on their perch ready for bed about 6pm and at about 20 past seven Pickle starts squawking to be covered. The budgies on the other hand would wittier away all night if left to their own devices. :)

Severe Macaw and 2 Timneth Greys I live in Upstate New York, USA My name is Gail	Trish...mine are all in my family room and I don't cover any of them.. It has never been a problem for me. They are put in their cages at 9:00 pm every night and go to sleep. No covers...I think it's up to each individual to cover or not and what's best for their situation..... :question: If you haven't been covering them and don't have any problems with them getting enough sleep, then I wouldn't start now..just my opinion.. :)

His playtime with me is normally late evening as I work till 6.00pm. He refuses to go to bed before I do too (he really is the boss), but he wakes whenever he wants. He seems fine with this. I assume if he needed any more rest, he would just do it??? :question:

They are so used to it now that they scream and chirp if we don't cover them right at 8! I know our conures would never go to sleep if we didn't cover them, but I think the parrotlets would be ok....they are good sleepers! :)
