Do parrots need to be covered with cloth at night?
Parrot sleep needs vary by species, age and personal habits. Some parrots, especially smaller species, may need shelter to feel safe and to reduce ambient noise. However, excessive shade may lead to excessive temperatures and affect sleep quality. Observing your parrot's behavior and providing the right environment, such as a comfortable nest and the right temperature, are key. Professional bird keepers should tailor their use of mulch to the needs of individual parrots, rather than generalizing. Never force coverage to avoid unnecessary stress.
