Clocks have gone forward here

Its called British summer time here. Its a ridiculous situation, as someone in the US once said "if I cut a foot off one end of my blanket and stitch it on the other end it doesn't make the blanket any longer" so the fact that the government try to promote it as daylight saving is just ridiculous. If you want to see more daylight get up earlier. :)
Rant over.
How do your birds cope with it and how do you deal with it to help them adjust?

We had the same here daylight savings - a week or two ago. Rosie doesn't seem to notice.

My birds were okay. I just kept them up longer and they made the transition pretty well. These time transitions were a lot worse when I had my human kids:th_eek:

Most of my birds are regulated by natural daylight, so there wasn't really any effect. Now, how it affected me is another story. :th_wink:

I didn't see a difference with Lady. We are usually up before the sun during the weekdays. Going to bed later doesn't happen much as I'm pretty tired after a long day at work. We have kept our routine basically the same.

Last night when the clock struck nine, Casper was sitting on Margaret's shoulder doing a bit of major underwing preening. Margaret told Casper that because the clocks had changed and he was being good he could stay up for another half hour. He popped his head out from under the wing long enough to say "wehey" before going back to work. Margaret and I both burst out laughing, it was so comical. :)

Jimmy still wakes up and squawks when the sun comes up. As far as bed time... he's like a kid... he is sleepy, but doesn't want to go to bed! We always let him out once we are home from work. Eventually, we turn off all the lights except for one in the hallway and turn down the TV volume. Jimmy will fall asleep on the back of the couch and then I am able to put him up.

So the only difference is for me... on my days off I get to sleep in later! He is very loud when he wakes up.
