How do parakeets sleep while in a cage?

Question

how do parakeets sleep in a cage do i have to buy my 2 paras

a special bed thing?!? asnwer please!

Answer 1

They sleep standing up on one foot with their head under their wing. That is normal for a bird. They need nothing special to sleep.

Answer 2

Don't worry. Birds don't need a bed to sleep in. They sleep standing up.

Answer 3

no, healthy parakeets stand on their favorite perch/swing and stand on one foot (putting the other in they're feathers) and turn their heads around and put them in their feathers also.

a normal bird bird might stand on two feet and/or not put their heads in their feathers

a sick bird will sit at the bottom of the cage puffed up. When this happens they need to see an avain vet ASAP.

Answer 4

I think it's possible to buy a little nest for them to sleep in but like Samantha said, parakeets have no problem sleeping standing up.

Answer 5

Hi Spike.

What everyone is telling you about parakeets sleeping standing on their perch on one foot is correct.  I would like to add something you can do to help them with their sleeping routine.  You must get a sheet or cloth large enough to cover the cage and drape it over their cage every night about the same time.    This gives them more security and a feeling of the privacy of their home.  It also keeps the draft off of them.

Thanks for reading.

Good luck with your new birds.  :))
