Potentially upper 40's is OK, See my explanation below: I live in SW Florida, and it's rare we get cold weather. Sake is free flight, so she has the entire lanai when she is not in her cage. The cage is very large and outside, and I have a second smaller cage inside. I try to leave her out as much as possible so she can fly around. She is currently 6 years old, so a fairly young bird. I went to bed last night around 1:00 am and it was 52 outside. She was fluffed up, but not shivering at all. I know she hates the small cage, so I don't bring her in unless it's going to drop below the upper 40's. I think what the above person's breeder said, it depends on the bird is good consideration. Because Sake is mostly an outside and free flight bird, she is in MUCH better physical health than most, and her age helps. Also, her diet is much better than most. I get my food for her from "For The Birds" here in town recommended by 'the bird lady' as a better selection than most pet stores. She also gets fresh avocado, mango, and various citrus fruits fresh from my trees when in season. So no GMO or fertilizers have been used on them. Also being full flight = full feathers and a bit more insulation when her wings are closed. Also note that my lanai and her cage, due to the position of my house and landscape are greatly protected from wind, so she is not dealing with wind chill. To be honest, if someone made a heated parrot perch that would maintain a low - mid 80's temp, I would bet if there was no wind, below freezing temps would be tolerable overnight. Feet and lungs are where they are going to lose the most heat, if one could address the feet, I'd bet it make a huge difference. TJ
