Budgerigars have very interesting behavior. This concerns not only the lifestyle and love of games, but also the bird's sleep. Often, for example, you can see that a parrot is sleeping, standing on one paw. The bird's sleep pattern also deserves special attention - the pet can sleep during the day, wake up in the middle of the night, or fall asleep completely unexpectedly.
Instructions
Step 1
Budgerigars sleep very often. A night's sleep lasts, as a rule, ten hours, while the bird can additionally sleep several times a day. Daytime sleep is usually short and lasts 20-30 minutes. This fact is explained primarily by the origin of budgies. In Australia, where this bird comes from, parrots escape from the hot sun by daytime, they hide in the foliage or hollows of trees. These instincts persist regardless of where the parrot lives. That is why pets fall asleep during the daytime, especially if the direct rays of the sun fall on the cage.
Step 2
It is not uncommon to notice that budgerigars sleep on one leg. There is nothing surprising in this, and there is absolutely no need to worry about this. Birds lead an active lifestyle and move a lot, therefore, standing on one paw while sleeping, they simply provide an opportunity to rest with the other. As a rule, such a nuance can be seen in adults.
Step 3
The nuance of the budgerigar's sleep, which is familiar to most birds, is to hide its head under the wing. This is explained by the desire to keep warm. However, parrots do not always sleep like this. Many individuals prefer not to hide their beak, but, on the contrary, sleep with their head tilted forward or throw it almost on their back. There is no cause for concern here either. Each bird sleeps the way it suits her. Each individual budgerigar has individual habits that are unique to a particular bird.
Step 4
The habits and habits of some budgerigars are striking in their eccentricity. Birds can sleep, for example, holding on to the cage with one paw and the perch with the other, hiding their heads not in feathers, but in their favorite toy. It is often possible to notice that parrots try to hide in every way and choose the most sophisticated methods for this. Birds may even cover themselves with objects or crawl under the covers if their movement is not restricted by the cage.
Step 5
If you see that the budgerigar is trying to hide during sleep, do not rush to conclude that the bird is frozen. It is likely that the pet just likes to sleep in a shelter so that no one can see it. Watch the parrot for a while, and you can understand what behavior is normal for the bird, and what nuances should be a cause for concern.
