can you answer a question:
I bought a weaned grey parrot from a pet shop.The pet shop kept her in an air conditioned room. I don't plan to do that because I feel that is dangerous.So she is trying to acclimatize, I mean she is panting ( moving her tongue up and down) and moving her wings ( feathers away from her body) because she is feeling hot.So I have turned the pedestal fan on her and I have misted her a couple of times ( she sneezed so I quit doing that). I set the fan on her in slow setting. But I have also read that draft is pretty dangerous for parrots. So I am kinda between a dilemma. How do I keep her cool ( help her acclimatise) and not introduce her to drafts.
Can you advise if I am doing this right and what else I should do? I don't want her to get cold or flu or become sick because she is still a baby. What signs should I look for that she is feeling cold or the wind from the fan is making her uncomfortable. ( she has sneezes once already )
Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it .
