Is it normal for my bird to be sleeping a lot in the day time?

Answer by  maxim (47)

Yes, sometimes birds become depressed and will spend much of the day sleeping. Birds may also become affected by the weather. Many times the winter season will put birds into the doldrums and they will spend more and more time sleeping. Another possibilty is that the bird is sick, which could be determined by a veterinarian.

It can be, what is a lot? To help a bird sleep at night, put a cover over the cage to indicate that it is nighttime. Sometimes birds are active whether you see it or not. Watch for other symptoms: tail bobbing, labored breathing, crust around it's beak, unkempt feathers, etc. for tell-tale signs of sickness. Good luck.

If your bird is sleeping every day a lot you should really go to the vet because that means something is not ok with his mental or physical situation.
