3:36 It was so cute when your bird jumped up to your head. To me, it's normal to see bird owners walking around with a bird or two on their heads. But to others, they think it's crazy. Whenever I have a new friend or visitor over, they think it's hilarious when one of my birds climbs (or flies) up to my head. I typically just let them be there and continue doing what I was doing without missing a beat! Lol
Thank you Love of Pets for the tips, every winter, I try to find as many ideas as I can. I have resorted to getting small thermometers to place near where my birds are. I even got a small reptile one that I have yet to place inside the cage. Anyone using a heater should be aware that the air doesn’t get too dry. Use a steamer ( I read humidity warms air, not sure though), or, wet, wring out and hang a damp towel, anything to keep the air comfortable. Luckily my two male finch sleep in a basket or nest. I am thinking of weaving some sort of wide natural paper ribbon on three sides of my budgies cages, for a buffer against daytime cold air. With a cage backing a cold wall I thought of hanging cork or a styrofoam board behind. For outside the cage, I got some dollar tree imitation straw baskets (plastic), and made hanging cabanas out of them, by turning bottom side up, putting an elastic through the bottom center, adding a shower curtain clip to the elastic for hanging. Cutting an arch opening between the two handles and using elastic on each side to attach a twig across and through the two handle openings. So far the budgies like relaxing in the cabana, when cold or for privacy and some like to climb on top because even though it is plastic it has a woven basket texture and has openings to grab on to.
I luv your videos Donna they are so informative you really cheer me up after viewing them sometimes I go over my favs like Sparkles and Silver, all your birds are beautiful .
Great job on this video! Love all the options you offer for keeping birds warm. I use a baseboard heater in the bird room on low heat as well as the cage heaters you showed.
Great tips. I was wondering how you keep your birds warm with the sliding door being used daily for the dogs to go in and out and you being in Canada. Love the electrical panel device and the tip on running the ceramic heater first before using them. We get snow here too and winters can be minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit but my home is a constant 68 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer year round. My birds always are covered at night. One cage is behind a couch and is quite cozy. The other two cages are against a wall in the middle of the house and the wall emits some warmth because of the water pipes run down from the 2nd floor. The down side is the birds hear all the water coming down and some imitated the sounds of water. One year after a hurricane hit our area, we were without electricity for 3 to 4 days and it was the fall (not snowing yet) but got really cold in the house. We had only Mango then and we kept his cage cover with several layers of blanket. While he was in his cage locked up, we set a boiled pot of water next to his cage to keep him warm and kept on changing the water when it got cold many times. We also filled up our hot water bottle with hot water and placed it on top of Mango's cage with several layers of blanket on top of it. We also let him out to fly around so his blood can warm him up and made sure we put away the boiled pot of water before Mango came out to fly. We brought these Hand Warmer packages intended for skiers or anyone to put in their pockets in the winter time to keep warm, with the intension of using them around and on top of the bird cages if we ever lose electricity again but luckily we never had to use them.
I use blankets on their cages to keep my birds warm. we also keep their room (which is a separate zone) a bit warmer at night too & last year we put in a folding door & keep that closed which keeps all the heat in & makes it cozy down here for us too! My birds are in the den which is on the ground floor in my house. (I live in a split & every floor is a half a floor up or down from the one next to it.)
GREAT VIDEO 🖤🐦⭐ I own Cockatiels and other bird species and have done my research for years. Most birds thrive at 67 degrees Fahrenheit to 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything below that can be too cold and cause pet birds to get sick anyting higher can cause them to overheat and become ill. I understand birds in the wild are able to resist higher temperatures and colder temperatures then most pet birds but wild birds are made to adapt and pet species tend to be a bit more delicate. Be very careful with your babies comfort level 🖤
Hi I took my ringneck parrots outside today. The weather was +10°C at that moment. After 1 hour I noticed they are fluffed up and one of them started shivering. I replaced them inside the house where temperature is 28°C . I am afraid now they might caught a cold. Some parrot owners said that No need to worry and told that parrots may survive in lower temperatures.
Hi, if Parrots are indoors and taken outside in the colder weather they will feel the cold and shiver. Birds that live outside 24 hours a day have been climatized and used to the weather change and they have shelter.
Use bubble wrap , tape that on the sliding glass and use thermal curtains. Helped in my bird room to keep it a lot warmer. I also have the heaters they’re great ! Love your videos. Happy holidays from South Dakota 🎄🎄🎄
I was have 4 cockatil and i was but a heting limp but i go for 8 hours and they take the plug abd they all freezing to death 2 of them die 2 of them get sick one died one survive
I love your bird room. That winter scene in the background is beautiful. I have 3 parakeets and I have read that strong smells can be deadly to birds. I know you’re not supposed to use the self cleaning option on the oven if you have birds. I’m getting a new electric range in a few weeks. Do you think that will be safe to turn on when it’s new or should I move my birds? Thanks!
I heat up my birds chop by putting some boiled water in a small bowl, and then putting their dish with the chop in it floating on the freshly boiled water just for a minute and that does the job. It’s handy for those without a microwave 🙂
I was thinking of using a small electric blanket ( the ones you use for back pain ) at a low temperature under the cage, so heat comes from the floor to the top instead of mounting it on one side. Is it a good option?
Can you put a normal human-use heater for them? My parrot is really cold because she puffs up at night, and changes her legs (like you said) and we can’t find a “bird safe heater”. Can you put a normal human-use heater for them?? 🦜🥶🤧❄️
Hi, yes I mention it in my video. Run the heater outside or in another room away from the bird's when new before placing it near your birds. There may be telflon on the new heater which is toxic to birds
It's been down to 41 F (5 C) here in southwest FL, and when it gets cold like this my 4 budgies become quieter; alot less chirping during the day; they even tuck their heads into their wing area. I've got the heat on and the house is more comfortable. You mentioned heating food up and luke warm water. But I'm wondering if it's OK during this time to let the birds have more seeds. I know that a seed diet leads to fat problems, but I'm thinking that seeds now will help put on more weight and keep their body temperature more comfortable; and they will devour a millet stick in no time, so maybe seeds are proper now. Any advice on giving more seeds now? Also, Kingsley looks great.
Good idea, I read that extra food helps farm animals keep warm in cold temperatures. What about adding egg (protein)to their meal? Millet spray I heard is mostly carbohydrate, maybe not as fatty ( unsure though).
@@Loveofpets oh thanks for.clarifying that. I thought it was a conspiracy like Morse code or something. Glad that I was wrong. P.s. labyu be your vids. Cheers :)

I'm so jealous of the snow! We haven't got much yet! Lots of great tips! Kingsley holding your hair is so adorable!❤
My TV and PS4 have enough radiant heat to heat up the entire apartment. Also being on the top floor means free heating since heat rises.
I love Kingsley!! 🥰😍🥰Such a beautiful and adorable birdie. Thanks for the informing video 😊
... Have a great weekend, Donna and fur/feathered kids. ☺️
So true I get cold after I drink something cold too great tips thanks for sharing have a wonderful day 👍👍❤❤
8:04 JUST LIKE MY BIRD MIMIKYU! she loves my hair lol shes even got Pikachu interested now 😅

Thank you Love of Pets for the helpful tips! And for the Video...just on time!! 🙋🏻♀️🦜🦜🦜❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

I hope you keep safe in winter and all your pets
How should you transport an exotic bird outside in the frigid temperatures if you have to take them to the vet?
Hi. Heat up your car. Cover their travel cage with a blanket or towel.
I like the in cage bird safe heater. Thanks for sharing your tips 🦜😎
These are great tips!!! I will definitely keep these in mind!
Btw your bird room is my dream bird room one day 🖤🐦 its beautiful great job providing for your birds
Wow so beautiful Scene 😍

What about when it’s hot outside?
Oh my gosh I haven’t seen one of your videos for so many years!
Welcome back! Check out all my recent videos on my channel and enjoy 😀
I bought a couple of those k&h heaters and I have a blanket I pull down if the window is open or I have the fan on.
My K&H heater was delivered today and is now installed in the cage. I’ll see how it goes for my budgie flock of 8 if they will need 1-2 more.
A good warm Aviary where they can excersise outside 🙂🙂

@@Loveofpets So I can be calm for that. I will never take them out till summer. Thanks
@@Loveofpets So I can be calm for that. I will never take them out till summer. Thanks
To expentive to have pet birds, much easerier and more entertaing to have window bird feeders for the wild birds outside.
I keep cinnamon and cloves steaming in water on my stove, because my lungs need moisture in winter. I believe my birds benefit too.
Your bird: "let me help, your hair, let me help it"
Use bubble wrap , tape that on the sliding glass and use thermal curtains. Helped in my bird room to keep it a lot warmer. I also have the heaters they’re great ! Love your videos. Happy holidays from South Dakota 🎄🎄🎄
Excellent tips! I have thermal curtains and forgot to mention that. That is interesting about the bubble wrap, I may give it a try
I was have 4 cockatil and i was but a heting limp but i go for 8 hours and they take the plug abd they all freezing to death 2 of them die 2 of them get sick one died one survive
Oh no, so sorry.
Oh and my hand fed 2 year old baby gcc Mia love watching your vids
Hi Mia! Thanks for watching 😊
Would the warm water be ok to drink
Yes, it's perfectly fine

Hi, yes move your birds. I would put them in another room, cover the bottom of the door with a towel and crack open the window for fresh air.
@@Loveofpets thanks 😊
Thank you for the information. Very helpful.👍😊❤️
I live south ga the lowest is around 30 , you think they will be fine outdoors?
Is ceramic heating lamp save for baby birds?
Thank you.
If it had no bulb then it should be okay as the light can damage the eyes
@@Loveofpets Thank you very much ♥️♥️
I’m getting a bird in February for my birthday
You must be excited 😀
Thank you my cockatiel is not shaking anymore
Hi Donna, the Cozy Roost Panel looked interesting, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Where did you get it please? (not listed in your links)
Hi, it's not on Amazon. I got it from The Parrot Shop www.theparrotshop.ca/
@@Loveofpets Thanks it looks very useful, they ship to the UK but it's very expensive. I can't find similar here in GB : /
Great video. Can you please tell me what they call the wall heater you mentioned in your video ? They seam a good idea... Scott/UK
Hi, it's called The Cozy Roost Panel. I can't find it on Amazon. I got it from The Parrot Shop, here is their website www.theparrotshop.ca/
Lovely video, thank you 😊💖

Hi. It should work. Place on half of the bottom of the cage so it doesn't get too hot.
Thanks for sharing!!
Your welcome 😃
Good advice thank you
Where abouts ya from? Haven't had any snow around here for years it seems im in Pennsylvania by the way
I am from Ontario, Canada
Can you put a normal human-use heater for them? My parrot is really cold because she puffs up at night, and changes her legs (like you said) and we can’t find a “bird safe heater”.

You could give them a bit of millet but otherwise they can have the same food.
Why is she blinking so much?
My eyes are sensitive to light and I can't help it.
@@Loveofpets oh thanks for.clarifying that. I thought it was a conspiracy like Morse code or something. Glad that I was wrong. P.s. labyu be your vids. Cheers :)
🤣😂 no Morse code, lol
do you have a quaker parrot if not you should get one! there weird goofy little guys! at least mine is
I don't have a Quaker. They are beautiful birds.
