Bird Club M ost pet birds come from environments that don't experience winter. As daily temperatures are declining, these birds may become uncomfortable and stressed.
Birds instinctively seek the best comfort zone available.
Fortunately, the body is a very flexible and resilient device and can tolerate many conditions. W hen the bird finds the most comfortable location in its cage, it can thrive. It should be remembered, that a cage or flight is a circumscribed area and, therefore, the bird may never be in its comfort zone. Because a bird may originate from Brazil, that doesn't preclude that it may spend some time at higher elevations where it would be colder. I am aware of an aviary in Ohio that has had Cockatoos outside year round for many years.
