What do I do if my bird is afraid of his birdcage cover?
I just recently bought a canary and placed a cover over his cage but he’s freaking out in there. Is this normal? Will he calm down once he gets used to it? Or should I take it off his cage?
Make sure you have the light on when you start to place the cover over the cage. Cover the back and sides first and let himget use to the cover slowly. He does not see well in sudden darkness and is frightened not knowing what is going to happen to him in complete darkness.
