Night fright

[Brandon's-Fids]

Rocko just had a night fright luckily he wasn't flying fast he flew over to the door and I turned on the flash light on my phone and went to get him and he stepped up and then flew again and landed near my bed and I picked him up and now he is on my bed getting scratches and being loved and im gonna stay up for a few minutes until he calms down.Im still and always will be happy that when he is scared he always comes to me for comfort.I was told that having them living cage less they could fly faster during a night fright and get hurt but Rocko never flies that fast compared to Loki who speeds around the room.I think ill just let Rocko sleep on the T perch at the window tonight since there are street lights outside and he is less likely to get scared again, I think it was the noises from my Uncles house that scared him.Now I need to go asleep.

Glad he is okay! Goodnight. (Or good morning by the time you read this I guess!)

Could you get a nightlight in your room, near where he prefers to sleep? I have one right next to Mimi's cage and she barely ever has night frights now. Before, they were almost a nightly occurrence.
So I'd recommend trying one.
Good luck.

I also leave a night light on for my 'tiels. I definitely think it helps to reduce night frights.

I couldnt put it where he sleeps if he is not in a cage and I probably wouldnt be able to sleep with the light.He dosent have much night frights anyway he only had 2 in his whole life.

You may want to consider getting a sleep cage for him and caging him at night.

I agree with @iamwhoiam.

It would be safer to use a sleep cage for him, to prevent possible injuries at night.
Also if you have a sleep cage, the nightlight could be placed.
It took a little for me to get used to Mimi's nightlight, but it's worth it to prevent the night frights.

He already has a cage and another two smaller ones, I would rather him out of a cage than in as when he had his first night fright he was banging off the cage bars and was bleeding but outside the cage he has more space and its kinda easy to see where he sleeps because the light shines through the window.

I think it would be more dangerous if he is caged he knows the room very well he had a night fright and knew where to go without getting hurt.

If he flys full speed at a wall at night, he could easily suffer a serious injury. A sleep cage is more limited to prevent such serious injuries.
I would still recommend a sleep cage and a nightlight.

I wouldnt be able to sleep with a night light and the room is not dark anyway.Rocko never flys full speed even in the day he flys very calmly but in a cage he hits everything and loses tail feathers and what else so thats more dangerous for him.

If you are concerned about your bird you should do whatever you have to in order to keep him safe, whether it's in a cage at night or if not, with a night light. They aren't that bright that they should keep you awake at night; regardless, you should put your birds well-being first. If he's flying around and can't see, he could really injure himself.

I'm a fan of giving as much freedoom to our feathery babies as possible but being cageless at night for a bird that gets scared seems more dangerous than good. But of course it's just an opinion.
Maybe you can put him somewhere or with something that makes him feel safer. That usually works with my birds.
Sometimes you have to make hard choices to keep a bird safe and sound and prevent big big regrets.

He can see at night thats what I said so he cant injure himself I just said the room is not dark at night.Exactly im his owner and I have to do whats best for him and I know him best and whats best for him is to sleep in the light on his perch.

Exactly and I know him best best to know that the right thing to do is keep him cage less

Why post if you don't want feedback from people? It seems from your last few threads you started that you don't want any help with your birds.
When others offer suggestions you shoot them down as you're doing now. I'm sorry I made any comment and will refrain from doing so on any future posts you start. I keep forgetting you know it all already lol

 

[Catarina]

Jeeeez... No one knows all the answers that is why we get other peoples opinions... And no matter how much we know something or someone there is always room for change and improvment.
I just hope you don't end up regreting your choices.

Of course im getting shoot them down what am I supposed to do if I dont agree with the advice? Its good advice for other people but its not something thats needed for Rocko.I appreciate all the help I get here but not everything I have to accept.And theres no need to be rude nobody knows everything.
