That's what I was afraid of too. He's right smack in the middle of one heavy molt and already had broken tail feathers and had alot of blood feathers on his wings because of the butchered clip job.They always decide to get spooked when they're growing new tail or flight feathers.![]()
My two do that as well!! I thought it was just something they did so it's interesting that others do it too.when I shut the light after I tuck the kids in, the tiels each let out a small quiet squeal - Like they're telling me good night also![]()
I've also heard that, i wonder how true it is.I have my ear out for Charlie I have read some reports that lutinos for some reason experience more night frights then any other mutation.
It's annoying how small things like that can set them off. Unfortunately there are some things you can't prevent - cars speeding up the street, branches blowing against the roof, thunder, etc.stretch has had 2 night frights everytime the phone rings he pannicks so at night i turn the ringer off when i put them to bed
Yeah it kind of scared me when I read that, I guess we will see how true it is I have had Charlie over two weeks now and so far I have been lucky no night frights.I've also heard that, i wonder how true it is.
Cookie didn't have a night fright for ages when i first got her. What finally set her off was a car turning into our driveway at night, the head lights shone through the window almost straight into her cage - oops.Yeah it kind of scared me when I read that, I guess we will see how true it is I have had Charlie over two weeks now and so far I have been lucky no night frights.
I cover all of there cages as well, do you use a night light? I haven't used one yet but i am thinking it might be a good idea, they seem to be ok in the dark but I would like to prevent anything before it starts if I can, I am lucky the way we are situated no car lights can shine in our townhouse...Cookie didn't have a night fright for ages when i first got her.

I have one tied to the front leg of the cage stand, and i leave the front of the cage uncovered. This way they can see a bit, and they can see out the front which is good in my case because if Mickey gets up during the night and his collar jingles they can see what is going on, rather than getting spooked.I cover all of there cages as well, do you use a night light?
