Shouldn't normally get too cold there although I believe it's been unseasonally cold up north lately ... If your aviary is completely uncovered and exposed your birds could well die from exposure, not just cold alone. How big is the aviary? Is it near a wall or fence? Is your yard heavily planted or bare? All these things will have some bearing. If you can put up some photos we could have a look and be better able to advise you. Regards, KathyW. Link to comment

Guest *BUUZBEE* Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) What are your nightime temps and do you get high winds there? My night time temps in the winter are normally 37* low (3c) we had record lows last winter of 28* (-2c) and they managed fine. We dont have a seperate room for nightime roosting, and the whole aviary is exposed. BUT its under the patio, and we have blinds that get rolled down each night. In the winter we add the "winter box" thats got a heat lamp added. I'll post some pics so you get the idea. Maybe this could be an option for you? We have used this set up for about 5 or so years. our patio aviary in the summer: and in the winter: Edited August 17, 2007 by *BUUZBEE* Link to comment
