Hello,
My 9 month old Bourke has had a few night frights since I got him.
I got him a night light and that helped immensely.
He did however have one last night which scared that crap out of me as I ran to his cage and there was blood on the wall. I had to remove a blood feather, but I'm concerned he is really going to hurt himself one day.
He is very tame and does settle when I get to him, but with last night by the time I get to the cage it was too late and he hurt himself. I'm also a deep sleeper and worry I might sometimes miss them.
He had a very large and long flight cage with my 3 Gouldian Finches.
I wonder though if the cage might be too large for night time? Would he feel more secure in a smaller cage at night?
Could it be because he is a lone Bourke? Not sure if that has anything to do with it. We socialize with him lots and he gets tons of attention.
I clipped his wings to try to prevent him from hurting himself too much in case of another night fright.
Any tips or tricks would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
