Room Temperature

[Shaz]

Anyone know what the optimum room temperature should be for an african grey ?

[Guest]

Is there such a thing? Well, I'm curious to hear more about that as well then.

I've never heard of an optimum temperature. I think anything tolerable to you should be okay to them. They're a wild animal so they can't be just a one temperature bird .

I ask because I came home from work yesterday and my grey was shivering. Although they are wild animals they do originate from a hot country, therefore im keen to find out what approx temperature suits their comfort zone ? :dry:

did you call your vet? maybe she's sick or was excited to see you?

[Guest Monique]

If your bird is puffed up with her feathers out I would bring her to the vet to get checked. As long as you didn't have your house cold like a tundra (below 67 degrees or so) with a fan in the room blowing on her at the same time she shouldn't do that - that's a sign of a bird that isn't feeling well. Birds hide their sickness very well so if you see a sign you need to get them into the vet as soon as possible.

She only does it whenever I come back from work so possibly excitied? Nevertheless I'm gonna get her checked out. The house is pretty big and her room can get cold pretty quickly.
