I feel cold as the temperature is around 15 degrees these days.
Human body temperature is around 36 - 37 degrees Celcius.
For birds, their body temperature is said to be around 42 degrees Celcius. I have a sad experience that my 8-year-old cockatiel whom I considered as my daughter found lifeless last February. It was a cold day, and someone told me that the cockatiel might have died from coldness. I don't want to repeat the same mistake.
Last week I set up the 100-watt pet heater (orange color) between the two bird cages.

One 3-year-old budgerigar is in the right side of the cage.

so we arranged something today.
