This question is for those with birds that are in one cage during the day and in a sleep cage at night.
What is your routine with dinner in the evening and then transfer to the sleep cage? Do you:
- feed them in the day cage, let them out for play, and then put them in the sleep cage,
- let them out for play, feed them out of the cage, and then put them in the sleep cage, or
- let them out for play, and then feed them in the sleep cage?
I haven't used a sleep cage before. I am trying to give my lovebird longer sleep hours by removing her from the living room at night. I've been wheeling her big cage across two rooms and into a closet, where it is dark and quiet. I've been doing it for couple of weeks, but I can see the transport of the big cage getting old pretty soon.
So, I'd like to have her sleep in the small cage that's easier to move, but I can't figure out what option for dinner would work best. Right now she gets 1-2 hours of playtime outside of the cage before going back in for dinner and then trip to the closet.
