Sleep is super important for parrots! Most species need around 10 to 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night to stay healthy. One thing that helps is ensuring they have a quiet, dark space at night, away from distractions. Some people use a cage cover to block out light, but you must ensure the room is quiet and bright. I remember reading that African Greys, for example, really thrive on a consistent sleep schedule. If you're ever interested in learning more about them or getting one, this site is great—they also have african grey parrot for sale. My cockatiel used to get cranky without enough sleep, so now I keep the evenings calm, and lights dim for him.

I never thought about how much sleep parrots need, but it makes sense that they’d require a good amount of rest, especially since birds are so active during the day. Creating a quiet and consistent environment at night must help them relax. It’s interesting to learn that different species might have different needs when it comes to sleep. Setting up the right routine seems key to keeping them healthy and happy!
