Stretch - Parakeet Budgie and Keet Sleeping Habits

Pretty much every animal stretches. Dogs stretch. Cats stretch. Humans stretch. A stretch is how an animal relaxes its muscles. Stretching is what we do when we wake up in the morning, and it's often what we do before we snuggle down for a nap or sleep.

Parakeets need to sleep 8-10 hours every night in a quiet, dark, sheltered location. Parakeets also take naps during the day when it is quiet. They will often stretch and yawn before falling asleep, or after waking up.
