*Parrots are intelligent, social birds that thrive on interaction and routine. The Parrot Education Hub covers key topics like diet, mental stimulation, talking and training, and long term health - giving you the tools to create a fulfilling life for your feathered friend.
Pet birds are generally most comfortable in temperatures ranging from 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, though they can tolerate a wider span - from 40 up to 90 degrees - depending on various conditions.
Factors such as air circulation, body weight, and acclimation play key roles in how well a bird copes with temperature extremes.
Birds with access to moving air, like a nearby fan or breeze from a window, can often handle higher temperatures better.
Meanwhile, underweight birds may struggle more in colder conditions, and overweight birds are more prone to overheating, as excess fat can limit their ability to regulate body temperature.
Environmental adaptation is equally important.
Birds gradually exposed to changing weather conditions can tolerate both cold and heat more effectively.
To avoid stress, it is very essential not to let a bird’s environment change by more than 10 to 15 degrees within a 24 hour period. Proper acclimation ensures their safety and comfort in varying climates.
Chewy editorial team shares guidance on the ideal temperature range for parrots, helping you create a space where your feathered companion feels safe, comfortable, and truly at home.
Understanding their sensitivity to temperature changes allows you to care for them with the warmth and attention they need to thrive every day.
