I have a young Conure. I was just wondering what the coldest temperature in my house my bird can handle during the fall and winter? My house is generally around 65 degrees. Is that ok?

Thanks for reaching out about Rico. Temperatures in the low 60s is too low for tropical species and supplemental heat needs to be provided, as their comfort zone is probably in the 80s. A full spectrum bulb with heat emitters, ceramic or infrared bulbs can be used. Young birds are even more susceptible to cold weather as are generally thinner and lack behaviors to increase insulation. Good luck.
