Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / March 2004Lovebird and temperatures
I live in the mid-southern U.S. This time of year (and in the Fall) when the temperatures are in the 50's (Farenheit) at night, I like to sleep with my windows open. But I don't want Peaches to get cold. I do cover her cage at night. Will she be fine with the cooler temp? Or should I move her cage to a room towards the front of the house where the cooler air will not waft in? She's in the living room but I leave my bedroom door open so the cat can wander. Jill Jill, Just be sure that she's not in any kind of draft--no matter how slight. We turn our temps down at night, to 68, cover the birds (who have their snuggly tents), and they are fine. ~Kimberlee : I live in the mid-southern U.S. This time of year (and in the Fall) when : the temperatures are in the 50's (Farenheit) at night, I like to sleep with [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] : : Jill > Jill, > Just be sure that she's not in any kind of draft--no matter how > slight. > We turn our temps down at night, to 68, cover the birds (who have > their snuggly tents), and they are fine. > ~Kimberlee Thank you. I'm careful she's not in a breeze. She's still fluffing up and grinding her beak when I sing my silly songs to her. Sometimes she chirps along. The manzanita wood perch just arrived and I fastened it to the cage... she's cocking her head at it, thinking hmmm, what's that thing?

The drop in temperatrure from heated during the day to cold at night might cause problems. I would say keep her in another room way out of the line of any draughts. and I wouldn't have any of my birds in my bedroom, a/ cos I don't > think it is healthy for me to breath in feather dust while I sleep Oh and its healthy to breath in feather dust while awake? <chuckel> Dave > and I wouldn't have any of my birds in my bedroom, a/ cos I don't > > think it is healthy for me to breath in feather dust while I sleep > > Oh and its healthy to breath in feather dust while awake? <chuckel> During the day I am not constantly in one room, in fact not always indoors, and I have a window or door open. At night I would be in the room with my body's defences on low too. Plus the poor bird would freeze to death hehe. >I live in the mid-southern U.S. This time of year (and in the Fall) when >the temperatures are in the 50's (Farenheit) at night, I like to sleep with [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Jill As long as you keep them out of drafts, most birds are pretty tough when it comes to temperatures. I doubt it going to bother her. |
