Do parakeets get cold

Answer 1

Yes, but not for long.

First, a group will form. This is known as a den or a hive. Comparable to penguins durring the winter in Antarctica, except without the sense of community. Stronger parakeets will go to the centre of the hive while weaker ones will be forced to the edges. There is no rotation, a strong parakeet will stay in the center for as long as possible. As food becomes scarce, the dead and dying will become cannibalized.

Because of this self-destructive nature, most hives collapse before spring; Without the hive to keep them warm, even the strongest parakeets sucumb to the cold.

Answer 2

I have an outdoor aviary with 30 parakeets. If it is below 50 I cover them and turn on an infrared bird coop warming light. They have lived outside for years, and in all weather, and no problem.

Answer 3

Yes. If there is a bad draft in the area you keep your parakeet I suggest you move it. It could get a cold and possibly die of it.
