It's like they don't really relax otherwise.Ĭontact calling is something "you" need to learn, understand and more importantly recognize as such. I agree with Kevin that they need a nice dark quiet place to get good sleep.

"I" would provide a "consistent" bedtime and make sure she is getting a full 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Not only provides the white noise but cleans the air doing it. My weapon of choice is a noisy Hepa Filter set on high. What you should do is introduce some "white noise" into the sleep environment to fill the audio senses and deaden any other noise. They will adjust to the noise after time. Once lights are out there is no going back or responding. 3 year olds never want to go to bed no matter how tired they are. I get about 10 minutes of it before they hunker down and go to sleep. She is very interested in being friends with the little birds but they don't feel the same.Ī certain amount of complaining after lights out is normal. I bought her so many fun toys and her favourite thing to play with is a bell on a string in Delilah's cage. She is already saying "hello" quite clearly and she is highly entertaining. I think I am right not to reward her or respond to her in this case but am wondering if it would be better to put her into a small sleep cage and turn off the lights completely? I never respond to her or go get her when she is doing this.

So I know she can hear the tv and the dogs moving around. I usually stay up pretty late to keep up with my overnight work schedule and her room is the room next to the living room where I watch tv. She calls out loudly and sporadically for about 25 mins average after I put her away. In the evenings, she is usually out with me until she falls asleep at which point I move her into her cage and shut the door. I hope that me trying to re-direct this behaviour is the right thing to do!! I just don't want her to think that I am going to keep coddling her everytime she cries. If she is sitting on me and just fed and still crying - I move her off me and put her on her playstand or give her a foot toy. Sometimes after she is fed - she still "cries", I switch up between cuddling with her and distracting her with something else to do. Should I be returning a contact call at that time? She calls out as soon as she hears us get up in the morning - I wait until she is in between calls and go get her as I know she is hungry and I think I shouldn't ignore that. I am kinda confused about when I should return her contact call and when I should ignore them. I want to try to ensure that I am not making mistakes in her with comforting vs responding to her every whim. So some opinions and suggestions are wanted please. I am just going to keep syringe feeding her until she is eating very well on her own. She is eating some of the harrison's high potency course, some seed mix, some veggies and most of her birdy bread. She is still eating 3-4 feedings of formula per day but she is taking much less. So Trillian is bright and mostly happy and gaining weight.
