Things You'll Need
- Bird cage
- Blanket or cage cover
Instructions
Remove any mirrors from the cage. Many bird toys include mirrors. These mirrors stimulate the birds and they often try to talk to the "bird" in the mirror.
Move the cage to a quiet place. Placing the cage in a quiet area that is free of traffic and sounds is imperative. When too many activities are going on around the bird, the bird tends to get overstimulated and this will keep it from quieting down.
Cover the bird cage with a blanket or cage cover. Covering an overactive bird can instantly calm it. Covering the bird during quiet times, such as when you are sleeping, can help the bird sleep and remain calm. This method is most effective when the entire cage is covered.
