cockatiels make too much noise at night?

Question

I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Absolutely not. Just follow the rules as others have mentioned:

1) Put a blanket over the cage at night (something heavy enough so the bird cannot see through it).
2) Leave a night light of some sort on nearby. Cockatiels are subject to night-frights and may jump around wildly if there's no light at all.
3) Don't put the bird next to an open window at night so it may hear sounds or see shadows that frighten it.
4) Be sure to take the blanket OFF every morning. If you leave it on a lot the bird will get restless and make noise any time of day that he or she wants to be uncovered. You may even be greeted the in morning with a little tune to say "good morning".

If you follow those rules, in 99% of cases you'll have a quiet, happy bird at night.

Answer 2

In all actuality, Cockatiels are afraid of the dark. Some more than others, depending on the environment. For example, I got my Cockatiel at Petland, where a couple of lights are on even when the store is closed. He was born and raised there, so, I put him in the same environment. I leave the fish tank light on at night which is right beside his cage.

Another contributor to this issue may be the gender of the bird. Males have bright faces, more distinct blush marks and they tend to sing and whistle more than the females do.

Age of the bird also matters. My bird is a baby male so he doesn't make too much noise if any. If your pet does make any racket, you probably won't even hear it.

Answer 3

Cockatiels (like most other birds) are quiet at night. Sometimes they can get night frights though (common amoung tiels) so it's good to leave them with dim light...like a nightlight or something. So, unlike what the others have told you, you'd actually want to give them a little bit of light. Cockatiels don't see well in the dark........that freaks them out a bit too.

Answer 4

You have two different answers here. Try covering them with a light blanket, then a heavy blanket, then a night light, take all suggestions till you find one that works. DO NOT yell at your birds, they will learn to yell back and that is worse than the chirping they are doing now.

Answer 5

Not usually. I keep mine covered at night and even when I have my lights on he's quiet, He'll make a peep now and then when i wake him up but nothing annoying. They like to chirp and whistle and sing during the day but all birds do.

Answer 6

Not really. Once it is dark, they tend to be fairly quiet. If you happen to get one of those annoying but rare ones that never shut up, get a dark-colored blanket to put over the cage. That can also be used during the day when it is necessary for the bird to be quiet, but don't overdo it or your bird will get depressed. They do need to sing to be happy. I taught mine to whistle and say pretty bird. He is also starting to say hello (he's trying, anyway) and a couple of times I swear he said thank you when I fed him. We're working on his manners :)

Answer 7

Yes they do

The best thing to do is cover their cage up every night
they will usually keep quiet and go to sleep

Good Luck with them

Answer 8

. I don,t understand, do they, I didn't have any noise probables with mine. they did get up early if not covered and locked in. at night

Answer 9

not if you cover them up with a heavy blanket. They will usually go to sleep when it is dark.
