can a bird die of fright?

Answer 1

I've know about this, but watch very carefully and do everything I can that the experts say so that I don't lose my tiel to something that might be preventable. The following I pasted here from a site that helps tiel owners a lot.



That has got to be a night fright. She needs a bright night light so when this happens, she can at least see where she is thrashing about. There is no proven explaination for night frights, but I beleive it is from a noise the bird hears and goes into a panic because they cannot see anything in the dark and they think a predetor is stalking them. I notice if I get up in the middle of the night to get a drink or something, Luna will freak out and start thrashing about, so I have to turn the light on and calm him down...
Of course, there can be other causes too, maybe dreams, who knows? Point is that it happens so prepare.
