How many hours of sleep a night does a Cockatiel need?
Cockatiels need 10-12 hours of quiet undisturbed sleep to stay healthy. Be sure you have a nightlight to prevent Night Frights. Some owners have 2 cages, one for daytime use and one for nighttime use. Loud music or TV or conversation can cause your bird to be up at all hours of the night. Cockatiels are not nocturnal.
