Budgies thrive in a comfortable temperature range of 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).
Ideal Temperature Range
- Daytime: Maintain a temperature between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C) for optimal health and activity.
- Nighttime: A slight drop to around 60°F (15°C) is acceptable during the night.
Temperature Extremes
- Below 60°F (15°C): Budgies may become lethargic, huddle together for warmth, and experience health problems.
- Above 80°F (27°C): Budgies can overheat, leading to panting, lethargy, and potential heatstroke.
Providing a Comfortable Environment
- Heating: Use a safe heating source, such as a ceramic heat emitter or a thermostatically controlled space heater, if necessary.
- Cooling: Offer a cool, shaded area, a fan, or a bowl of cool water for budgies to bathe in during hot weather.
Remember to monitor your budgie's behavior for signs of discomfort and adjust the temperature accordingly.
