Lovebird sleeping a lot

[vrnkstxx]

So yesterday was the first day Luna was out of the cage, exploring the room (supervised ofcourse), she has learnt where her cage is, doesn’t have any problems going in her cage, eats a lot, drinks water a lot. However i’m concerned about her sleeping a lot. Yesterday she went to sleep at about 7:30pm and woke up at 8-8:15am. Today she was sleeping from 7:30pm to 9:15am. Is this normal or should i be concerned? So far i have checked her poop seems very normal, she has warmed up to us, as i said eats a lot, drinks water a lot (though she is a real lady and drinks only from a glass , no worries also supervised). Also what fruits and vegetables should i give her ?

Also she started pulling one leg up and standing on the other. Is this considered normal ?

Yes, usually when napping. I noticed my youngest did it sometimes when just hanging out, relaxing.

I'm very curious, how do your lovies snooze? Do they sleep with two feet on the perch/cage or one foot tucked under? I have never seen Sydney, Adélie or Nube sleep with one foot tucked in. I have seen Jaime and Lapis do it, and I think I saw Aldora doing it once. I'm interested to know...

Sleeping 14 hours isn´t the worst, but I would try to get him/her on a 12/12. USe a cover and cover the cage at night, and uncover in the morning.
Remember your bird is still a baby and will likely sleep/nap throughout the day too

Hi Zara, unfortunately she continued napping and doesn’t want to get out of the cage today I am very scared. I checked everything, her feathers seemed okay, she eats normally, drinks water normally, as i said her poop seems very normal. The vet said she could possibly be scared of something, but in any case they prescribed a bird antibiotic. I am very scared and crying all morning

Did the vet run any tests? It´s always recommended when bringing a new bird home.

She is still adjusting, but I´m not sure. Usually baby birds are full of energy and curiosity.
I would recommend you weigh her daily.

Whatever is happening here, I hope it passes soon - Try not to be scared

Yes, and she was indeed fine. Turned out she wasn’t rested enough so i will probably try to put her cage in a quieter room from today on. Scared us a lot tho! She is now roaming our apartment as usual
