Re: Keeping your bird warm the Safe Way
Me and Alex both freeze every night unless we have the heater on (he sleeps in my room. Spoilt little bugger) so we have a panel heater that is specifically made with no toxic compounds for use in children's rooms and around small animals. He showers with me every few days so we've never had a dry skin problem (My skin would dry out before his did anyway, I have terrible skin). yet anyway (touch wood!)
A heated perch sounds like a good alternative though in your situation. I'd be worried about Alex getting his beak on the cord though ![]()

Re: Keeping your bird warm the Safe Way
Be careful of his feet. This same perch caused pressure sores on my birds feet. She loved the perch so much,, My vet suggested wrapping the perch in vet tape so I did. It made no difference so I finally gave the heated perch away.

Re: Keeping your bird warm the Safe Way
There was a suggestion to sand the perch down a little so that it wasn't completely smooth like it is - to give a more natural "wood" feel to it. I will keep an eye out for that! thanks for the heads up!

Re: Keeping your bird warm the Safe Way
I guess the only thing I would worry about with a hot water bottle is that my parrot my bite through it or the towel might move and burn him.
But if it is working for you then you must be doing something right: ![]()
