New Years Eve

Well, this year was a quiet one with nary a feather ruffled. Our neighbors decided not to set off fireworks like last year. Last year the birds were given such a fright that at least 3 of them lost feathers.

Cockatiels do not see well at night, they usually perch and wait for daylight once the sun starts to go down. Obviously, noises like fireworks and firecrackers scare them, and this is aggrevated by both not being able to see well, and the bright lights given off by the fireworks.

Hope your birds had a good new years eve, and a new year.
