Extremely calm parrots?

Postby Electic » Sat Nov 17, 2012 8:19 pm

I've noticed a huge reduction in activity in both of my birds when the clocks changed and winter came around, completely content with being a perch potato. Anybody else experiencing similar phenomena?

I think I saw you posting about your parrots being calm when you opened the the window as well.
My initial guess will be that your indoor temp is too low, and that they are trying to conserve energy. Whats your room temp, and preferably in celcius?

Yep, here in Portland it's been raining non-stop and gets dark around 4:30 PM this time of year. It's very relaxing, but then again I'm a native and I love it. Tiki is by far more laid back and sleeps in more as a result, both of which are fine with me.

Mine are the same way and it's quite toasty in here, so I'm pretty sure it's a sunlight-related issue.
