Bailey is 22 and I am very cold natured. He has always been with me. Over the years that I've been lucky to have them, all three of my birds have done fine when I set the thermostat for us at 82 in the Summer and no lower than 70 in the Winter. Of course living in South Central Texas, that equates to not needing any Central Heating in the Winter. I mostly depend on a cool touch space heater in my very small, third floor, SE facing apartment which keeps the temp around 75 during our short Winter. Bailey's cage is close to that SE facing window so the sun helps, too. Summers, of course, are another story and I close the curtains some days.
