ideal temperature to try to maintain for parrot

[racinghart]

question... i live in california where the weather typically is warm most of the time year round.

this last winter it got really really cold! my parrot is outside in a large cage but at night we throw over a blanket.. im afraid its not keeping the temperature warm or at least ideal...

should i be concerned with putting him indoors at night but putting him outside in his normal outside cage during the warm/hot days?

first what kind of parrot and I would bring him inside for some socialization if he spends alot of time outside.

Think this is one of the questions where there isn't a steadfast rule,

I know of people who leave their birds out all year round, and we are in the UK, cold wet and miserable, I personally would bring mine in, just because of the cold, and then socialising him. What Parrot do you have? I'm assuming its one of the amazons,

Does he live outside all year round normally? Does he have somewhere he can get into if it gets too cold?

What temperature did it get down to? I would think he would be okay because birds have a layer of down feathers that keeps them warm.
