Hi there. My budgie is almost 14 years old now and still very much alive, but it seems like he...
is uncomfortable in his balance on his stick when he sleeps. Sometimes at night I would hear him almost falling on the bottom of his cage. Is there any way I can make a comfortable "bed" that he would except as a sleeping place, rather than a stick?
Budgies feel comfortable on their perches, put the perch as low to the bottom of the cage as possible, that way if he does come off the perch he wont have very far to fall and probably wont harm himself
maybe may a nest like birds do and attach it to his perch he may feel comfortable in the nest, maybe use an old cup saucer with some grass clippings etc in it to keep him warm
its nice to hear your budgie is 14 years old, try to keep him warm thats very important, always use wooden perches try some different thicknesses maybe he will be able to hang on better with a wider perch
good luck
