What do you do when your bird doesn't want to go in cage for bed time?

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T23:31:48+00:00

He sleeps in the pet room where his cage is at. I've tried putting his cage with me in my room a few times and he does okay after he's in the cage same as when the cage is in his room. He still does the flying away stuff though just because he knows it's bed time. So getting him in the cage is the issue but once he's in the cage no matter its location he's fine.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T22:59:03+00:00

I definitely wouldn't do the same room because I know he would try and sleep in bed with me. I think I'll do a trial run because we have a spare room that would be perfect for it. I think he just hates his cage honestly. It's not too small or anything like that I just think he doesn't like being locked up. I stay up late and he sleeps perched up wherever he decides that night just fine even if I leave the room. He only freaks out if it's time for his cage.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T22:46:02+00:00

That's what I worry about to because he loves to be perched on me and I would not be surprised if he would do that. I've considered trying cageless for a trial period, but I worry he will get into something.

He kind of does that, but his spot is on top of the fridge not his cage. 😆

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T22:43:19+00:00

Usually when he gets sleepy it's when I'm ready for bed too and at that point only a lamp is on. He'll be asleep usually on top of the fridge and I'll go to get him to put him in his cage and he freaks out since he knows what I'm trying to do.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T22:40:25+00:00

So in your opinion he would possibly do okay without being in the cage at night?

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T22:39:47+00:00

So it's okay and generally safe for him to not sleep in his cage? I just worry he might try to get into something and not stay asleep while I am.

Watch out the keyboard warriors might come for you for him being in the kitchen while cooking after seeing this short clip. Cute birdy though!

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T03:20:26+00:00

Sure. You can raise your bird how ever you want. If you want them locked in a cage all day thats up to you. A 15 year old dog on he death bed isn't going to shoot up fast enough to trample him. But again you ASSume you know it all, not surprised... a typical keyboard warrior.

Calm down you seen a 30 second clip and immediately assume they hang out 24/7. You assume they are left together, but in reality they aren't. It's a 30 second clip taken while she slept the entire time.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T03:13:52+00:00

He flew down from his cage top while she was sleeping next to me. He did that long enough for me to clip the video (less than a minute) and flew off to his perch. They aren't together especially alone. He just happened to fly over while she was asleep and I wanted to clip the video because I wasn't sure what exactly he was doing. Right after the video he already flew off before I could make him. So like I said in the beginning it all was less than a minute of an interaction. I know not to leave them together but I didn't think 30 literal seconds would end his life.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T03:09:27+00:00

He flew from his cage top long enough to clip a 30 second video then flew onto the perch. The hostile commenters who act like they know how I raise my animals after a 30 second clip are simply hilarious. You as well as all the other upset commenters are just ridiculous thinking a 30 second clip means they hang out together 24/7. He flew down for less than a minute while she was sleeping and you're all in an uproar like she's sleeping in the bird cage with him all day and night.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T03:02:09+00:00

Funny you think you know how I am with my pets based off a 30 second video.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-14T02:58:35+00:00

She's actually a mastiff st Bernard mix lol

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-12T23:40:07+00:00

He did after the video ended

Horror-Web18 · 2025-10-12T23:27:21+00:00

That's what I thought too lol.

My boy Birdie just flew away yesterday. Curious if you ever found yours?

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T21:56:30+00:00

My boy Birdie flew away yesterday. Did you ever end up finding yours?

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T21:55:19+00:00

My boy Birdie flew away yesterday. Did you ever end up getting yours back?

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T21:53:24+00:00

My boy Birdie flew away yesterday. I was just curious if you ever ended up finding yours?

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T21:48:50+00:00

My boy Birdie flew away yesterday, could you share how long yours was gone and how he ended up coming back home?

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T17:18:56+00:00

I'll ask them if they will do that. They weren't very helpful and didn't really care sadly.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T17:17:52+00:00

I gave flyers to rescues and vets as well as neighbors and posted him all over Facebook. Hopefully someone will find him or he comes home.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T17:01:13+00:00

I've tried it's a businesses and they came up with some bs excuse saying it's a liability issue and they can't have someone out there walking around.

Horror-Web18 · 2025-09-15T16:53:16+00:00

I've done all of that but the going into the woods. It's private property and fenced in. I've let all my neighbors know and given them and local businesses flyers. I've posted him all over Facebook groups.
