Birdy bed time

[SRSeedBurners]

Since I seem to be collecting Greys and collecting Kings Cages carriers to go with them, I set up a nice sleeping area for them.   When we moved from our previous house, one of the deals I cut was my Greys get to sleep in the bedroom with me.  Wife has regretted making that deal a few times since we were sleeping them on a perch and occasionally Huey would flop into the bed in the middle of the night or Greycie would do similar.   It got bad enough that Huey ended up in a cage.  I never had a similar cage to put Greycie in so she got away with it for a while longer.   Lo and behold ANOTHER Kings Cage came up in one of my alerts 20miles from my house.  I bought it on the spot.  I had this steel cart that I bought a while back and decided to measure and see if the cages I had collected would fit.  Fit like they were made for each other!   Now everybirdy has their own sleepy cage, complete with a little treat dish, and best of all - 100% black out curtains.   What we have found is, these birds zonk out under those black out curtains.  I have never had sleepy greys when I get them up in the morning.  They are usually fidgeting and waking us up at 4:30 or thereabouts.  Now I can sleep in to 6 or even 6:30 if I've been up all night on a work call.   THe light can start coming into the room and they have no idea.

Odie making threats.  Nobody touches Odies snacks.

 

 

 

Greycie being the diva that Greycie always is.   Pure victimhood this one.

That's a great setup! So glad you found the cage.

Odie looks really good! He must be enjoying all his good eats and lovin'!

So glad you were able to FINALLY find that travel cage! Your nightly set up looks really nice.

I don't have a sleeping area for my flock as I personally haven't found a need for it here. They'll stir a little at sunrise, but they usually don't get around to chatting amongst themselves until 0730ish, which works out just fine for me. There's been a few occasions where one or 2 of them have experienced a midnight terror flail, but it usually happens right before an earthquake. It's amazing how they know even before we humans do!
