Lights Out
Why do my birds freak evertime I turn the lights out at night?
I have 2 birds. A female zebra finch and a male house sparrow. They both get time out of the cage during the day when I'm home. At night before I got to bed I turn out the lights for my aquarium and plants, cover their cage then turn out my room light. Usually 5-10 minutes after the lights go out my birds start to freak. I can hear them flying frantically within the cage. Thankfully it doesn't last long but why do they do it?
What you need to do about thirty mins before turning the lights out and going to bed is to get a towel or a blanket something big enough to cover the cage that will stop the problem when you cover the cage an they can still hear you up before you turn the lights out then when you turn them out they will not notice and it might take a night or so for them to get use to this method but it is recommended in several bird books and pet stores to cover them over at night. Hope this helps the reason they are doing this is because it is suddenly dark and quiet and that can scare them covering them while it is still with light and noise it will help them to adjust to changing from night to day easier and slower.
