They're more at home in the sticky Florida weather than they would be in a Wisconsin winter. Now is the best time to prepare your birds for the coming winter. Placing the cage in a warm area of the house, well away from heaters and open windows is a great way to keep them snug and warm at night. Blankets, bird heaters, insulating the cage, or adjusting the room temperature by the thermostat, our sensitive bird will always stay protected inside. Keeping Budgies Warm in the Winter Temperature The ideal temperature for budgies is between 60 and 76 degrees Fahrenheit (15-24.5 degrees Celsius) Ensure your budgie is protected from any cold drafts. But like budgies, humans have their limitations too. Do not place the cage in an area where an outside door will be opening and closing or near older leaky windows. To prevent your feathered friend from becoming a birdsicle, you need to make sure the cage is warm at all times. Budgies—or parakeets, as you probably know them—are warm-weather birds. We all have numerous ways to keep our little birdie warm. Pet birds should always be brought inside at night, especially if they are on their own.
