hi, I am new to budgie keeping, and wondered if it necessary to cover the cage at night? I usually just have a lamp on so the room isn't that bright. thanks G

I cover mine, but then again I hold weird hours. I can control the light they get in a day, and it's good to get them used to covers if they are in a cage that's coverable. If there was a fire I'd also know my cages would be screened from the worst of the smoke long enough for me to get my birds out in an emergency  |

HI geoff, it is best to cover them, if you have a night light, plug it in,leave a small gap in the cover, as it stops night fright.............

With covers they will enjoy uninterrupted sleep. I simply turn off the lights though.

Budgies need more sleep than us, so it's just a good idea to cover them so they get a good long sleep.
Agree about the gap in the cover...just enough so they can see a little if they wake in the night.
