Thank again Ole. I decided that I had gotten a little too use to the warmer temperature and will keep it about 70F. I am using the bird as my excuse... we use to turn the heat down to 55F at night.

: I would honestly be carefull lowering
: beneath 18C, think of what habitat
: they live in, and warming each other
: at night in a suitable tempered
: place. A little bit cold feet is a
: less problem than very warm feet
: (fever) of course normal temp. is
: the goal. A sick bird with flu,
: sneeze fluid from nose(maybe eyes as
: well), and is a BIG warningsign. In
: addition to bad respiriation (low
: activity, tail is tipping back and
: forth while perching and noisy
: respiratory sounds)

: Hello did a little checking for my
: North American buddies, this
: converts to 65F to 90F degrees. I
: have been keeping the house at 70F,
: just above the 18C, I think I will
: try the lower temp, knowing that it
: is safe. I have an Orange Wing
: Amazon. Is it easy to tell if he
: gets cold? Sometimes his feet are
: cold is this a sign that he is too
: cold? Usually it is when he is
: inactive. I should probably have a
: thermometer closer to his cage...
: one he can't reach of course.
: Thanks for the info. Great
: question.

: It MUST be between 18 celsius till
: 23
: without draft and sudden temperature
: changes! If a bird gets cold, with
: sneezing fluid and couch, sudden
: death might be near and hospital
: treatment is nessecary. Of course
: this is a little dependent on the
: species, but this is generally
: correct for most aviary/ tropical
: birds :)

: I'm not too sure what kind of
: temperatures are best for your bird
: but I know its not healthy for them
: to be in a draft. You could always
: move your bird into a different
: room, one where the windows/doors
: will be closed.
