Naptime / Sleep Schedule

[paandajean]

Hi there!

I've had my little darling Alastor [he's a rescue, no idea how old he is] for about a year and a half.

We went through a scare many months ago where he stopped eating suddenly, and was sitting on the bottom of his cage. He had a bacterial infection. After antibiotics, his appetite came back and all seemed well. Since then I'm a bit of a worrywart. I noticed he's very active in the mornings and evenings, but takes a lot of little cat-naps. It's like eat, nap, groom, play, nap, eat some more...you get the drill. He stands on one foot during the evenings, but during the day napping, he'll be on 2 feet. Should I be worried?
And should he be napping often? His appetite is great (albeit picky as always) so I thought I'd come here for some experienced advice.

Thank you so much!

Amanda

My Lola does that too. My other birds are very active and never nap. But Lola will... she'll sleep on both feet too and sometimes she'll stand on just one. I think its fairly normal from what I've read.

Thank you - I used to be gone during the day, so I had no idea if this was a new behavior or not, or if I should be worried. He's super due for a wellness exam and a nail trim soon anyways, but it eases my worries that there are other two feet nappers out there.
