I'm so pleased to hear that Jaime. I must admit I was more than a little concerned about your little one.

Our Reg has developed some antics lately that some might find amusing.

His cage has fabric covers for night time. I actually made his covers in 3 parts, one for the top which has a little overhang on each side, and one each for the sides. The purpose of these covers is to shade his cage from the hot sun when he's outside, and to cover him at night.

Naturally he sleeps inside at night, and when he wants to go to bed to starts running up and down .... at the same time looking up at the top of the cage. This is our cue to put the cover on the top of his cage.

He's usually happy just to have the roof on for about half an hour while he watches some TV, but after that he'll climb up the side of his cage and tug on the little side bits that overhang.

When he does that he's trying to pull the sides down on his cage, and that's our cue that he wants to be covered up so he can go to sleep. That's when we cover him up for the night, because he says so ... and he who says so must be obeyed!

Cockatiels are so intelligent and so very amusing.
