Judgement
Meeting neighbors
Hello everyone!
It's been sometime since I last posted, due to a lot happening in my life. And because of this I've come, one again, to ask for your advice.
After years of waiting and talking to doctors of varying sort I was recently diagnosed with Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. In short, my body is perpetually 4 or so hours behind whatever the actual time is. If it's noon my body thinks it's 8 am. I was advised by my doctor that I could not keep to a conventional sleep schedule, as it was severely impairing my health. He recommended I use my body's natural cycle, which is bed at 2 am - 3 am ish, awake around 1 - 3 pm.
I'm worried as to what this means for my sun conure, Faust. If my partner uncovers him for anything more than changing food/water he gets very excited and his screams wake me up. The only solution we've found is to change his food/water in the morning, before he wakes up and then officially begin his day with mine, around 1 - 3 pm. I'm concerned for his health, as this would mean he's essentially covered from 10 pm or 11 pm until then. He generally wakes up at about 9 or 10 am, so he'd be on his own for 4 or five hours.
Would this be alright for him if he has fresh food/water? I don't want to hurt him or risk his health.

Unfortunately... in the morning when a bird wakes up but is not yet uncovered in his cage is a prime time for birds to start plucking
