Hi ya'll! I have a 5-year-old maxi male and a white cap male who have been together since they were babies. They don't share a cage and mostly tolerate each other from afar. We have cameras set up to monitor motion and sound in their room and have noticed that once or twice a month one of them will have what looks like a night fright where something unknown scares them and they fall and flail around the bottom of their cage for about 10 minutes before returning to their perches. I've never been able to figure out what the trigger is or which bird spooks first.
've been debating if it's worth getting a nightlight even if it isn't a full spectrum bulb? The cages aren't covered at night (no feasible way of doing this). I know cockatiels are prone to night frights. Are pionuses too?
Any other advice is greatly appreciated!
