- Green Cheek Pineapple Conure named Kiwi. Hand raised. Possibly female. Under 6 months old. Very tame, happy, and healthy!
We have a new green cheek and this will be our first winter with her. She's about 6 months old. In the past, we generally keep a colder house in the winter while we are away during the day at work (64ish) and bring it up to low/mid 70's when we are home. She currently has one of those felt tee-pees where she retreats as the nights are getting colder, but we're concerned that this will not be enough.
Question is, how cold is too cold for a conure as I've heard all sorts of opinions on this?
If 64 is indeed too cold at night, I'd rather add localized warmth to her cage rather then wasting it on the whole house/floor... could you recommend a bird safe heater, etc. for the cage?
