Ensure Your Pet Bird Stays Safe and Comfortable During Summer
1. Air Conditioning Best Practices
- Strategic Placemen: Position cages at least 3 meters from AC vents and avoid direct airflow corridors. Birds lack sweat glands and sudden temperature shifts (more than 5°C/9°F) can cause thermal shock.
- Temperature Gradien: Maintain 24-27°C (75-80°F) in the room while allowing slightly warmer zones (28-29°C) where birds can self-regulate. Use digital thermometers at cage level for accuracy.
- Humidity Balance: Counteract AC dryness with a hygrometer (aim for 40-60% humidity). Place ceramic water bowls near (not under) vents, or use ultrasonic humidifiers with avian-safe water additives.
