night frights??

Not sure if that's night fright or nightmare or something else, but my grey Spencer had actually dropped from his perch while sleeping once, he went into total panic but clam down quickly when I slightly uncovered his cage, and talked to him. He gone back to his perch to sleep after maybe 10 mins.

Yep that's a night fright

We don't know what causes night fright. None have actually told us. It could be a noise, a memory or even a foot falling asleep which scares them. I do know that mine do well with a night light as I do. When I open my eyes at night I want to be able to see. I rarely cover cages but when I do I leave an opening at the end of a perch so they can look out if they want to.

Yea I don't really cover him at night, I think he was just half asleep and saw our dog and it scared him.
