I have a timna African gray and a Senegal
I have a cathedral ceiling in the bird room with a ceiling fan mounted at the Apex. I want to bring down warm air for the winter and would like to know if the air movement is dangerous to my birds. I would probably run it on low
Thank you

The air movement especially on low would not be a concern regarding you're Parrots. The concern is the fan blades and a Parrot being hit by one. I will leave it to you to count the number of possible injuries or worst, death that it could cause.

When the Parrots are out, turn the fan-off. When they are in their cage, turn the fan on!

Cheers

You can actually get fans that are inside cages that look quite stylish- these are safe to use while the birds are out of the cage.

The warm air gently passing over the birds or circulating will not be a problem, it is cold air in cooler weather that is of a concern for birds.

I have used those enclosed fans! They work, but are a true pain to clean..

Yes, ceiling fans whether open or enclosed build-up a layer of dust and need to be cleaned. The joy of the enclosed fan is that the enclosure must be removed cleaned and re-installed.

Love the Humor Good Friend!!
Am still confused! Isn’t this what high speed is for?

You never mentioned whether your birds were free flying or caged. If the latter probably OK as long as the breeze isn't too strong, if the former - FORGET IT - as David wrote before.
