Night frights? My Alex has day frights.
He is so freaking skittish! Just a few minutes ago, he panicked and flew when he heard the phone ring (he's heard it many times before, but I guess it surprised him).
In the cage, he kinda has what I call "flap attacks", because it usually starts with him just exercises his wings. He spreads them out, flaps them, then loses control somehow and flies all over the inside of the cage until he's on the floor of the cage. Then he'll run around on the bottom of his cage with his wings still open, and flaps some more. Sometimes he'll end up on a perch, and sometimes he would still be on the bottom.
It's gotten to the point where Lucy is used to it, and she ignores it half the time.
He's getting better at flying though. He's landing in places other than the floor, and he can finally make short distances (for whatever reason, he's had better luck with longer distances than shorter ones).
For a while, I covered them up with a sheet. I eventually stopped. Ironically, neither of them have two uncle at night. Alex usually have the frights early in the morning, or just in the middle of the day. Lucy seems to be the least flighty of all of them.
