Is it normal for baby budgies to sleep a lot? I didn't think much of his sleeping habits until I saw that budgies only need 10-12 hours of sleep a day. He has lights out for 12 hours (I have no idea if he's actually sleeping those full 12 hours, but he is asleep every time I uncover his cage), then he wakes up and eats breakfast with me, then goes right back down for a nap for about half an hour... and I think he naps for a total of 2-3 hours a day. I don't think it's out of boredom because he's out of the cage all day long, he only has to go in his cage when I have to leave the room for longer than 5-10 minutes
