Datsun is a busy body, she wants to know everything thats going on so we cover all our babies or she would be up all night gossiping with the others!
I have them all in my living area so we cover them so they can get some peace, generally the little two go straight to sleep, but Dats likes to sing her songs and chat for a bit first.

I dont cover my ringnecks. But I guess you could say I cover my suns.
When we lived with my mum they used to sleep under a cloth over the curtain. So I leave a sheet over the cage all the time. dont ask me why a nailed a cloth over the curtain. I dont remember heh.
Sorry the point to that is I cover them because they feel secure and they like hiding under it. Not because I want to quiet them to make them sleep.

Erm, I cover half the cage? But not for my ringnecks LOL.
The birds who's cages back against the outside wall get the back half of the cage covered, to prevent chills.
I don't cover anyone all the way.
Oh, wait, unless they are sick. Sick birds are covered to help maintain a hot cage while they are under treatment.

just curious Mikaela, why aren't you supposed to cover them? I cover both Lou and my budgies... I do it because it's freezing here and for security reasons! lol maybe my own security?lol. the little guys usually will be quiet once covered. Lou is like Dats, he likes to chatter and then will snooze

Busey's cage has "curtains" that we shut when he goes to bed so we don't wake him up with lights, etc. And also for a little warmth.
We put him on his cage when it's bedtime and shut the curtains on three sides. He puts himself to bed after grooming a bit and then we go and shut the cage door and the other side of the curtain when he's all snuggled up on his boing for bedtime.

Bhanu isn't covered and for the first week he had a night light. Apparently from what I've read IRNs are notorios for night flight problems. Our night routine is night, night (verbal) and the lounge light is turned off. I have kids so routine is instilled in the feather and fur members of the family too.

So glad Scarley doesn't entertain herself Like Indie up there. Working nights, and sleeping days, it was almost impossible to keep her quiet while I tried sleeping. So we agreed on keeping her cage half covered, but opened, she was free to flock her room and she was happy and quiet and I got to sleep.

seems to prefer being covered
Bebe gets covered at night. He seems to prefer being covered. When he's covered he sleeps on a specific perch in his cage. On the rare instance I don't get the cover on him he sleeps in a 'birdy buddy' like thing I made out of an old towel.
