Freezing!

I live in Bundaberg QLd it is not to cold here yet. The temperture is still 29 dgs durning the day here as I said it is a little cool at night but not cold... But at night I have a dark black material cover I cover Indigos cage and leave the front open.. I have Indigo in the rumpus room near my bedroom.....I use a light kids rug a light blanket and I still cover the sides and leave the front open as I turn out the lights on him. If I am watching TV I only have the light on so I can see the television in the lounge room.....What part of Australia do you come from?.Maybe someone else can give you some advice....

I am living on the Gold Coast, just of the beach shore.

Thank you for the replies, I was worried if it would be to cold for them since they have a higher body temp...

Thank you!!

The main thing is no sudden temperature changes and I also cover my budgies cages at night as well. I cover them completely and turn a corner up with a night light on in case of night frights. Budgies do not have good night vision.

Everyone has given you some good advice. I always keep my budgie out of a draft when winter comes i put him in a warm part of the house out of a draft as they can catch a chill..

In May it usually gets less than the temperatures between 15-25 C. The change happens at night and then early morning then it will warm up durning the day.. Glad you are getting some good advice..

I put a small heating pad on one side of the cage and turn it on at night because our flat has poor insulation (oh, renting! :laugh. It maintains the temperature and only turns on when the temperature drops. I turn it off once the heating comes on in the building.

I also wanted to mention that I used a towel at first to cover Sammy's cage, and he started picking at and eating the fibers. I switched to a sheet and it's going better!

Good luck

I have always covered my cages completely at night with a black bed sheet (I use a bed sheet because it is more difficult for the birds pick at as the fibres can be harmful in the long run if digested) During the winter months I put an extra layer of fleece blanket over the bed sheet for further insulation.
I am currently also using a heat lamp (black bulb for night use) for one of my birds as he is unwell so when I have that on i only cover 3 sides for fire safety.

I always pay attention to how warm or cold my birds feet are in the morning also.
