Taco squashes himself between my arm and side, and Kraz makes a cozy little nest in my hair and falls sound asleep on the top of my head. 
Nicely said....mine sleep next to me on couch every night, cuddle between me and side of couch......I never sleep when they are by me, I'm watching the tube. They been doing it for years. My military macaw as would actually fall asleep on my chest, laying on its back and feet sticking up...was a funny guy... My buddy. Was just a couple weeks of turning 69 when he passed. My senny liked climbing inside my shirt and napping, but one time bit my boob.!! For a man, that still hurts like heck!!! Leary now of him doing that. My zon, sits on my shoulder and pressed her body against my face, then doses off. Twinkie our white budgie likes to bury herself in my wife's hair!! But, if I nap my birds go to their perches. My birds have cages, none of my birds are caged...their free to roam house. In a 3040 square foot house, they have their own 13 x14 bedroom as the main bird room. A screened porches with perches to view outside, a screened gazebo outside they can sit on perches, and enjoy the outdoors. In the house they have a perch in nearly every room of house. Including the bath room. Shower perch. Table top perch on kitchen island to watch us make their "yum yum" as my Zon calls it.I will just add that never allow your bird to sleep with you on the couch or in the bed. Not even for a small napkin.
Yes it's cute, but for their safety let them sleep in their cages or playstands.
So many birds have died because to many humans thought it was cute.
And imagine the pain when you woke up and find your bird dead, and the reason for that is you.
Both my girls and I take napkins, I'm on the couch, and they are on the backrest/backboard. That is cute and safe!
If they are on the cough with me I make sure that I am 100% awake.
oh yea! Absolutely... Electric sheep? That's a first I've ever heard that one. My grey? I think he dreams of being surrounded by a 1000 female greys...or perhaps getting award for catching mouse...lol !!Does your Grey dream of electric sheep? How do they sleep? I don’t know if it is unusual or not but I’m beginning to think it is. Sif wants to sleep with me whether it’s a short nap or a long night. Her most favorite position is to lay against my neck and tuck as much of her body as possible under my chin. Almost like I’m her momma bird tucking my head and neck over her. Has anyone else experienced that and/or how do your fids sleep?
Have you ever tried this.....in our bathroom we have this triple mirror above vanity, when you open the sides, it looks like a thousand identical parrots looking at your birds....the reaction...priceless!!Does your Grey dream of electric sheep?

Hey hank sorry for zoe and keene, it's never an easy thing to go thru.@Kodigirl210 You are foolish not to listen to the people on this board who have witnessed many owners lose their bird to being squashed or smothered when sleeping with their bird. It makes you feel good, but it kills your bird - so you don't suffer any consequences.
"I have the heartbreaking results of the necropsy:
Zoe died from heart failure due to severe asthma. The most likely cause was pulmonary hypersensitivity from breathing African Grey dust. She was otherwise completely healthy.
I was warned repeatedly by people on this board that macaws and dusty birds do not mix, but I chose not to listen, and Zoe paid the price. Kevin, I remember your warning like it was yesterday ("how would you feel if..." ) Your words were prophecy. If nothing else comes from this, perhaps it will underline this important lesson for people in the bird-keeping community once and for all.
Obviously, this has deep implications for my other macaws (especially Elvis).
And, it turns out that I have not only lost Zoe, but Keene as well. Since I have no place to sequester her from the macs here, I must try to find her another suitable home. I hope that the AA community will lend their help and support during this difficult time.
This is a forum. Hank can post where ever he wants. I f you don't like his comment, don't respond. Just like you shouldn't say things that people will disagree with in a conversation if you don't want a debate, you shouldn't post on the forums if you aren't willing to find people who disagree with you. If you have a problem with people disagreeing, make your own forum.
Good point.No, but you should be able to gently steer the topic back on track when you see it about ready to fly off the rails.
Lets not act like the hawk who has to tag another one to jump in.
