Keeping Pet Birds Cool & Happy in Summer

Keeping Pet Birds Cool & Happy in Summer

1. Create a Calm, Cool Environment

  • Ideal indoor temps: 65–80°F. Use fans or AC to help, but don’t blow directly at their cage.
  • Keep cages out of direct sun and provide shade or cloth coverings during midday.

2. Hydrate & Misting Daily

  • Change their water bowls two or three times a day; offer shallow baths or light misting if they enjoy it.
  • Offer cooling fruits like watermelon, apple, cucumber—check vet-approved safe options.

3. Monitor Behavior & Health

  • Watch for panting, wing-drooping, lethargy, or open-mouth breathing—move them to a cooler spot if observed.
  • Never leave a bird outside unsupervised or in direct sun—even brief exposure can cause overheating.

4. Cleanliness Matters

  • Wash water dishes and cages daily to prevent bacterial build-up—especially critical in high heat.

5. Keep Them Mentally Engaged

  • Rotate toys, offer puzzle feeders, and plan training sessions during cooler hours to prevent boredom and stress.
