How much sleep do budgies need?
Budgies typically need between 10 and 12 hours of sleep per day. They’ll do most of this at night, but budgies also tend to take naps during the day. When you put your budgies to sleep, consider covering the cage with a blanket (not too thick – you don’t want to inhibit air circulation). Covering their cage can give them a sense of security and prevent them from reacting to shadows or lights from a car for example.
