Answer 2

No not really. When I had my cockatiels (Bingo & Coco) they weren't really heavy sleepers. Actually they were very sensitive to the slightest sound whenever I came in the room.

Just always make sure to put a cover over their cage to make sure they have a good nights sleep. :)

Answer 4

They are so long as they are not high upon their perches! Then they sleep with only one eye closed.

Answer 5

They weigh the same whether wake or asleep.

Answer 6

No it is always good to leave a night light on for them to avoid having them flutter with night frights, hurting themselves inside the dark cage at night.
