Are there any tricks at all to getting your bird to sleep at night?

My bird squawks all night long but he has everything food water and i dont know what to do… are there any tips or tricks to getting him to sleep? I cant find any books or site that will inform me of this problem.

Whenever you go to sleep, cover your bird cage up with a dark colored towel, blanket, or t-shirt – or whatever. If you want to get it into a normal sleeping habbit, you can just cover it up when it gets dark outside, which is when they would normally go to sleep in the wild. i put my birds to sleep around 9 and wake them up around 8:30. Once all the lights are turned out, it will sleep, don't worry.Giving your bird a good night’s sleep is the most important thing you can do for him…If you decide to cover the cage, be sure to use a bird-safe cover with no loose strings that can get caught on the bird's toenails, legs, or neck. u can also buy sleeping tents for birds which is available at pet stores…

Remember, the early bird gets the worm, but not if he is too tired to go after it!
