Budgies and music at night?

Parrots need quite a few more hours of uninterrupted sleep a night than humans do. (Budgies need 12-14 hours a night!) Their natural sleep cycles in the wild follow the setting and rising of the sun. They are biologically predisposed to sleeping as soon as it's dark and waking up at the first signs of light, and it can be tough to recreate those conditions in domestic conditions, where we sleep less, play more, and are able to settle and relax to things like television and music.

However, if you think of it this way, you might be better able to adjust your budgie's surroundings and your activities to promote a healthy sleep schedule. Your budgie is a prey animal. As horrible a thought as it is, they aren't very sound sleepers and spend the entire night on high alert for predators that might be interested in making them into midnight snacks. Since they sleep with their eyes closed like we do, the primary way they monitor for danger in their surroundings is through listening for sounds around them. Thus, any unusual or abundance of noise in the place where they sleep will be naturally disruptive to their ability to sleep soundly.

In addition to sleeping lightly, prey animals typically doze very quietly, so as not to alert predators to their location in the dark, where they would have a hard time seeing to escape or defend themselves. So, your budgie might not even chirp to let you know your music was keeping him up, and may, instead, hang out in the dark waiting for quiet indicating that it is safe for him to nod off.

If you're like me and have trouble sleeping without at least a little music or white noise, you might want to select another room to move your bird to during sleeping hours, or clear out a sleeping spot somewhere isolated like a walk-in closet or laundry room just for use at bedtime. Thinking about the natural cycles of the sun that determine his sleeping rhythm and that peace and quiet is a green light that it is safe to sleep will help you evaluate his environment each night to determine if it is one conducive to rest. I think it's nice that you hang out and sleep near your feathered friend and are being considerate of his surroundings.

They would if you keep music on at night.

But, I suggest you turn the music off, when you go to bed. Birds need sleep, just like us humans do.

When they get plenty of rest, they will stay healthy and will have energy.

Well since its dark, it may be bored so itll listen to the music and maybe wont sleep. I suggest putting earphones or moving the cage into a diff room.

my budgies chirp at night because they get annoyed of us having dinner even when they their cover on. Its probably because their's noise going on they just dont like it.

hope this helps. : )
