I was wondering what the consensus is on covering the cage at night? When I had a cockatiel, the vet told me not to cover the cage and leave a small light on so that the bird could see things inside her cage at night - this would stop night frights - and it did. Can caiques see well in the dark or is it wise to leave a small light on to illuminate the inside of their cage at night?
In my case, I have tried fully covering, not covering and partially covering the cage (where the birds sleep) at night. I always leave a small light on the floor so they can see the inside of their cage at night. At this point, I am still not sure what is best for my two caiques…
Do you cover the cage, partially cover the cage or use a night light? Do you think caiques like to have something above their heads and around them when they sleep, or do they prefer nothing at all?
Thanks,
