I'm curious to know what time you tuck your feathered babies in?

I tuck mine in at 8 or 8:15 pm and wake up time is usually around 7 or 7:30am so I can spend as much time as possible with them in the morning before going to work.:p Mornings are quite busy here.:hehe::D

Birds in the birds room lights out at 9 pm. they usually wake up completely and for the day at 7 am (they'll chirp off an on from 6-7 while my daughter is getting ready for school - they're actually my "alarm" I know if she doesn't get up after I go wake her up I go in wake her up turn her light on and leave her room and shut the door IF they make no chirping sound within 5 mins of me going back to my room I know she hasn't came out of her room because they chirp every time she opens her door because of the light LOL

the Doves and Nibbles(cockatiel) in my sons room also go to bed at 9 and wake up at the same time as the ones in the birds room

Billy & Gumby in the living room go to bed on their own no later than 9 and if you make too much noise you will get screamed at, Billy will come out from under his tent Screaming his head off until you quiet down! they wake up around 8ish

Kaycee is in my room and goes to bed between 9-10:30 gets up around 8ish

Sheba (my dog I know you said birds but she has a bed time too lol) gets put in her crate and its covered just like the birds (except bird room birds) at 9 pm and she gets me back up for the day around 9ish

My guys go to sleep around 9-9:30pm and wake up about 7am. On the weekends I make sure they have pellets in their cages so I get to sleep a little while longer. Like 8am at latest.

Since I got sick and do not work any more the birds tell me when they want to go to bed and when they want up. Usually they start getting really loud and MacGuyver starts rining his bell between 8:30 pm and 9. Then they want up (lights on and fresh food) between 9 - 10 AM... I try hard to sleep when they do and up when they are. My husband is on a different schedule and they never wake when he gets up at 5 am for work.

Dusk. :)
I've been letting my guys experience natural light cycles lately. I've been turning off all the lights at dusk (when I'm home) and do not cover them anymore so they can get themselves up with the sun.

They all go in their cages at 8pm for last-minute eating, then I remove bowls and clean the cages, so lights-out is usually around 8:45-9pm, depending on how much they trashed the room during the day LOL. We get them up about 9-9:30am.

I have been better about getting them to bed by about 9:30, but they hate it. They know it's coming and I have to hold them like a football to get them to their respective places and shut the door....fast! It makes me wonder if they don't have owl in their blood.
In the wee morning, if I am up and about, Ollie can be heard squawking, " hullo....HULLO!" and he's ready to come out, even if it's 3:00 a.m.!
