House temperatures?

[AbbysDaddy]

Im sure my house stays plenty warm enough at 75-80 degrees but what is the absolute coolest temperature I should keep my eyes on say maybe the power goes out while I am sleeping or something like that. I know she is covered with a thick heavy blanket when Abby sleeps but I just wonder what is a comfortable house temperature for them since 104* is their body temp aprox.

They can be comefortable in temps as low as 65 up to approx 71/72 degrees. Any change should be very gradual and remember that a hot room in the average house/apt also means that the humidity is also dropping and greys need humidity because dry temps with little hudidity will lead to very dry, itchy skin which will cause lots of scratching, possible feather plucking and excessive molting.

 

In general, your temps should be lower or else switch your bird to an area that's lower than 75 degrees<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2009/12/30 00:27

We have our house set at 67 and Sasha is perfectly fine.

Our bathroom is VERY cold in the morning (50) and Sasha is definitely cold in that, as he shivers... So I try to warm it up to 60 before I take him in.

I find sasha is cold anything below 58 or so, and fine with anything above 60-62.

My heater was kaputs for about a week and my birdroom was around 62º. The fids were fine I was the one cold!!!! All is back to the normal 68º and I am happy again.
