Do They Need A Bed Or Bedding?

Featured Replies

I had another question please. On some of the sites I see birds in little sleeping bag like things. It looks like a bed for them. Does anyone use these? Do birds need any type of bedding?

Thank you again for helping out a first time bird owner.

;) My budgies, lovebirds and cockatiel hate those things, they prefer a simple swing! :)

I have bought about three of those happy huts over the years and just end up givng them to people, I guess it just depends on whether your bird likes them or not.

Most budgies just tuck their head under their wing and go to sleep on a perch. There are some weird budgies that lay along the perch using it for a pillow and some even weirder budgies that hang upside down. But on the whole, they don't need bedding to sleep. A cover for their cage yes and indoors in cold climates for sure. :P

:wub: Definately a cage cover, whatever hemisphere one lives in, mine still start chirping at the crack of dawn which is okay during the week as I have to get up early but during the weekends, awful and I just try and drown it out............uncover them and go back to bed and shut the door. :P

My budgies don't like the happy huts (and budgies have been known to see these as a place to lay eggs :P - not a good idea). They really are more suited to lorikeets and the larger birds that like to snuggle

:D My little Budgie Mig liked his when he was little but doesnt go into it much now
