I have been noticing that Emma takes naps during the day. She seems to have a long nap each afternoon. Do others who have youngish cockatiels notice this?
At night she tends to go into the budgie cage and sleeps there. However, she seems to nap outside the cage. The budgies don't nap. I am wondering whether she naps outside of her cage to get away from the chatter and activity of the budgies.
She often naps on the porch of her own cage (which she doesn't go into much), which is about 12" from my shoulder where I usually sit. I like this, because I feel she really trusts me.
Do they nap less as they get older? She gets aboutf 11-12 hours of darkness and quiet each night.

All of my birds take naps. The budgies take multiple short naps throughout the day, with one longer nap mid-afternoon. I'm still figuring out Mostletoe's schedule, but he does nap.

Mine nap too. Diana, I have a thought, if Emma had less access to the budgies I wonder if she would be more motivated to bond with you. Just a thought.

Pepper took many naps when I first got her to the point where I thought something was wrong. It's very normal though and as she gets older they will be spaced out more and more.

That's reassuring, Emily. I did wonder the other day if something could be wrong with her. She DOES look so, so sweet with her head in her wing.

Pirate still naps, but much less often then he used to when he was a baby. He usually naps when he is with me. First, he has a good fly, then a good play, then some scritches and a nap to deal with it all!
