Do you have a nightly routine with your birds? What time do they go to bed each night?

I usually cover the cages between 8 and 9 every night. As I walk over with the cover the budgies jump to their sleeping spots(swings). I uncover around 8 in the morning and the linnie is always awake but the budgies are still sometimes sleeping.

Mine rise and sleep with the sun. Right now it gets dark enough for them to start geting ready for at 7 - 7:30 ish and then they get up around 6 i think. I wouldn't know as i sleep right through all the noise. I did however get to enjoy watching them wake up once as i stay up all night long

My linnies and parrotlets go to bed around 8-9 when it gets dark and wake with the sun. My upstairs birds (goober and moose) are up with me until 11 at the latest and wake up with me around 8-9 am. They're upstairs and quiet to themselves during the day and nap a lot in the afternoon to make up a little extra sleep.

My Linnies go to bed around 9 pm and my conures go to bed in their sleep cages at 7 pm. Everyone is up around 6:30-7 am The Linnies get to stay up later because they take naps throughout the day, my conures don't take naps.
Zoe is funny because if I try to sleep in a little later like 8 am, she starts calling out by saying peek-a-boo. She starts out softly as if to say, "Is anyone there?"and gets progressively louder as if to say"Hey it's time to get up, I'm hungry!!":lol:

The only fids of mine who have a bed time are the conures, cause they're cranky little so-and-so's when they don't get enough sleep. They're put in their sleep cage in a quiet/dark room at 8:30pm, and wake up around 7:30am most days. :) The others are in their cages by 10:30pm most nights.

Mine are put to bed in their room at 8:00pm...They're up around 8:00am. Levi gets very grumpy if he doesn't get 12hours, and there's nothing worse than a grumpy Linnie!:giggle:

Mine went to bed early tonight. Almost 2 hours earlier than usual. Tweety had done his screeches and ear piercing squawks ALL DAY LONG today. It's only 8:30 here and their usual bedtime is 11. All of them are quiet except Tweety. Maybe I need to rethink their bedtime. Could be part of Tweety's screaming problem. :eek: Either that or I need to get room darkening shades.

I can hear him under the cage cover "squeaking" at me now. :yikes: They know what "go to bed, night night" means. He just doesn't want to. I swear that bird could go 24/7.

Could it still be hormones, this time of year, in the US? :shrug:

My birds have a very crazy schedule. Most of the time they are in bed by 10 - 11pm. l uncover them around 11 to noon.
Other times they are in bed anytime from 8:30pm to midnight and uncovered 10 to 12 hours later from when they where covered.

Wow everyone's birds are night owls. Millie and Niblet settle onto their sleeping perches between 6 and 7 pm. Millie is always the one who calls me for the blanket and seeing I cover the cages together now, Niblet goes to sleep at the same time. They will usually sleep until 7 or 7:30am.
They also have a quick nap between noon and 1pm.

My three Budgies get covered every night around 8 PM and uncovered at 9 AM. They get plenty of sleep and usually do not nap during the day. :whitefacedbluebudgi

My little baby Sun Conure that I am had feeding naps all during the day and gets it's last feeding just before midnight then sleeps until around 8 AM:sun2:
