Acceptable outside temp for goffins too?

[gibson2503]

Spring started a couple of weeks ago and the days are starting to look nice outside. We have a nice deck out back and we are starting to spend some time out there just relaxing. We want to start bringing Cosmo, our goffins too, out there with us in a cage so she can enjoy some sunshine with us. The temps are only around 60 degrees so far. Is that an acceptable temp for her if it is only for an hour or two?

I'd keep a close eye her and watch for any signs of shivering..2 hours might be a stretch at 60 degrees. JMO here.

They can tolerate a wide variety of temperatures, provided they have plenty of water and shade when warm, and an enclosure to trap body heat when cold. The key is acclimation, not a sudden change in climate.

I had my two wild-caught Goffins in an outside flight cage for about one year when purchased. Winter nights would dip into the 40s while summer would rise to the mid 80s.

What you describe seems just fine!
