And I've always heard the opposite about covering birds. I've heard that it's not necessary, doesn't keep them any warmer, and actually promotes night frights by making it completely dark in their cage. I've heard it's best to keep them uncovered in a warm room, with a dim nightlight on, so that if they do get frightened, they can see to get back on their perch.
But, that's the pet fancy for you .... ask ten people a question and get ten different answers ... not matter what the question is or who you ask. 
Doesn't matter much in my case ... there is no way I can cover my bird cages. They are much, much, much too big ... I'd have to stand on a step ladder and cover them with a bed sheet! And that's certainly not going to happen! 
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
