When this light is off should my canary's birdcage be covered so it is dark inside?

You should cover at night at dusk or dark so they keep a natural schedule. Just like the wild.

I cover my birds at night when it's dark outside until sunup. That would be the natural order if they were in the wild. They sure do love that light during the day!

I have a cockatiel and I always cover his cage at night with a light blanket. I don't know about canaries but parrots require between 10 and 12 hours undisturbed sleep nightly.

I would say it depends on the size of your Bird and its personality..Our Canary is small but doesnt like the cover ...so we took it off..likes it w/o the cover..

I have the light on a timer and it is on about 4hrs per day. My bird loves it and sits right under it.

Prevue usually has a suggested cover along with the cages they sell online. You would need to remove this cover during the day so your bird could access the playtop, and the edges of the front would probably flare open, leaving your bird(s) vulnerable to drafts during the night. I would agree with Sunny about contacting Prevue to see what their recommendation is.

Regardless of the time of day it comes on when it's dark. So if you have a room without windows the light will illuminate. However I bought two of these and after only three months of use one no longer works. I hope this information helps!

I'm not totally sure although I don't see why it wouldn't fit into any lamp because the bulb base is the same size as that of any other light bulb. It really should sit above the cage to avoid the bird from looking into the light. It can damage the bird's eyes (cause cataracts) if they look directly into the light too much. It is for that reason that I only use them with the Avian Sun Deluxe Floor Lamp. That is the only lamp that is high enough to reach over the top of my cages. Check with your vet. They should be able to answer for sure.

I'm not sure. I will say that mine are placed away from windows, but on cloudy days it's a little darker inside, so the lights will come on. I might start opening the window blinds just a little, so that this does not happen.

I'm not sure how long to leave the light on for my birds (finches, cockatiels and 2 rescued sparrows, but the longer it's on the happier they seem to be. I've seen great improvements in their health and their moods. If birds could smile, mine would be smiling!

I have finches, not a parrot. But I keep the light on about 10 hours a day.

If you leave it plugged in and the room is dark it will be on. If you don't want it on you unplug it.

When the cover is laid fully across and closed, the light will go off in seconds. Mine used to take longer then I realized I didn't have the top cover all the way to the edge. Mine turns off immediately now. Love this cover.

No! I've had my light a couple of years and this problem has never happened. I use it for an hour every night to take care of the animals. Make sure that you don't overcharge it. I charge mine in my car so that I can hear when the charge is completed.

If it is not sealing, turn up the timer. When the light is on, it seals and then goes off automatically.

No. The lights only come on when it's in test mode. They'll be off normally

Yes, there is a light, which is on during operation and if you leave the door open after food has been cooked or defrosted. However there is a screen on the window that makes it difficult to see the food being cooked.

I would say no, as I have a canary in my cage and it can't get out. It's head is probably as big as your parrots beak. Enjoy. I love my cage.

The one-way is designed so that when the light is brighter outside than inside, the birds cannot see through it. During the day, my grand-daughter and I can stand up against the window and the birds do not seem to be disturbed. However, without an outside light of some source (for me it is the security light, which burns 1/2 unless movement is detected) you cannot see inside the birdhouse. When the house lights are on, and it is dark outside, I cannot view the birds nest.
