Living in South Africa, I am no stranger to hot weather. However, the past few days have been EXTREMELY hot - as in, 40+ degrees celsius (over 100 degrees fahrenheit). This is fairly worrying for me, particularly when I think about my aviary birds. There is shade in the aviary, but it is still quite hot overall. It isn’t easy to closely watch drinking habits with so many birds. They have place to bathe, however I’ve also been spraying them with a mister/spray bottle every few hours, and I’m not sure if there is anything else I can do for them.
My indoor birds are also feeling the heat. We don’t have air conditioning (there usually isn’t really a need for it in my city), and a fan in the room is not an option obviously. I have also been spraying them regularly, have put a bath on their playstand, and have been trying to encourage them to drink from their water dishes. I have one window that I am able to keep open in the room (it has a net barrier to the outside), so that helps a little bit.
Overall, I’m really worried about my birds suffering and overheating. Can anyone offer me any advice?
