i have a liberta parrot cage its 51cm x51cmx145cm and i have a cockatiel . its a big cage and dont want any gaps when the cover is on so would a big bed sheet be ok ? do i need to put air holes in the top.
well some birds dont like to be covered just feaks them out a bit to much. but if they are ok with it. then yeah a thin bedsheet is fine. you dont need holes in it unless it to thick. on hot nights dont fully cover them. leave the front uncovered.
the birds will most prob chew through it in a few months. make small holes in it so you might have to replace it. but thats nothing to worry about. they will chew anything you cover them with anyway.
hope i helped

if its a bed sheet than it should be ok to put over the top and you don;t need air holes as bed sheets can be quite thin and airy anyway so hope your parrot sleeps well at night

Use a bed sheet because it is thin enough. You don’t need holes.

a thin big bed sheet…cuts out the light and will let air in …good luck

Cockatiels don’t mind a cover. A bed sheet should be fine, but the bird will probably start to whistle in the morning even with the cover on the cage. Make some provision for ventilation but the holes need not be big.

where i am from it gets cool at night..i used a very large circular tablecloth, i then cut it from the edge end toward the center half way.. it is easy to put off and on and does the trick..make sure there are no strings hanging down.. i used a light weight one, but thick enough for cool evenings…i have a hanging cage..

A bed sheet would be perfect.Make sure it isnt thick. If it is you may hav to put small holes in it.The holes dont need to b big

I have a Dusty Conure Parrot. I use a table skirt, it works wonders. I only cover him when it is bed time. He is loose the rest of the time. He knows that when I cover him it is time to be quite and go to bed.

I use a large round table cloth for my cockatiel’s cage. Machine washable is a plus, it WILL get soiled. A bedsheet should also be good. I go with dark colored ones to help block the light.

You can use a sheet but birds don’t need to be covered.
I never cover my cockatiel’s cage.
