I know mostly budgies have no problem with sleeping with tv on and noises outside your place, because my boyfriend has 2 female budgies. As soon it's time to sleep, they both go inside the cage as 2 angels.
I took Mango from the place I was working at that time, to be specific: I was cleaning houses. I saw the place and I can only imagine what he's been through: loud parties non-stop. We couldn't find enough place to put garbage from that parties...
Mango's cage was hanging from the ceiling wall in the kitchen, he was screaming, his overgrown beak didn't let him eat.
His "care takers" left us a note:
Please take a bird with all the equipment. Thanks"

I didn't think for a single moment. I took Mango with me with the "equipment", which was the smallest cage they produce, dirty container for water, the other for food and bird-bonanza.
That's real Mango history. I'm not surprised he will never be tamed. I love him the way he is.

It's awful that people treat living things that way. He's probably singing because he's happy!

Lorenzo also prefers to sleep hanging to the side of the cage, I thought it was a just a baby faze as they feel more secure like that since some will fall off their perch when they're still little. it looks so uncomfortable though! he has a chube as well which is always what he slept in in his previous cage but now with the new cage hes started hanging in the top corner of the bars again. might be just until hes comfortable in his new cage.but i think his chube is his favorite, where hes more secure.and hes sleeping right in the corner where his babble ball is so i hear his every move haha.

my previous green cheek used to to go UNDER the newspaper on the floor and lie on his back...and i always paniced in the morning because i couldnt find him

Sheldon used to sleep in boxes at the bottom of his cage, but he was more aggressive so I stopped giving him boxes. Now he sleeps in a hammock at the top of the cage.

I don't think that I have seen him sleep on a perch, he likes sleeping on his tummy. :)

Scooter usually sleeps on his back in his tent. I've caught him once or twice on his highest perch. If he could get under his cage paper, I bet he would sleep there -- he loves to burrow under the paper on his playstand.

Scotty sleeps on his highest perch, but I've recently learned Capes are cavity dwellers as well, so I'm thinking about rigging up something a little more secluded for him, a corner shelf and corner cover or something like that. Scotty drools when he's sleepy... it's a Cape thing.

How exactly does he drool? I mean, is it like how people drool when they sleep and his beak his just left gaping open? I'm having a very hard time visualizing a drooling bird!
