I have placed them under the outside umbrella (they are outside budgies) also have placed an extra 3 lots of water at various spots in the cage. I am wondering if I should be doing anything else. The cage is 1 metre (long) by 2 metres (tall) and 1/2 metre (wide), with wire all over, just a big open cage. I bought it thinking it would be great for the budgies (outside) however I have been told the cage was ment for inside, therefore I am unable to give them a light shower as the cage would rust. Hoping for some suggestions re this heat. Thanks in advance. Link to comment

It's also warm here too!!! I have an outside avairy and do a few things to help them out. They have their water bowl, a shallow dish with leaves (native) in it to encourage bathing, I've just added a shade cloth over the avairy, and I spray them with a water spray. I wouldn't worry to much about rust... maybe give the cage a good clean after the hot weather is over. They'll love a light sprinkle of water I'm sure. Just keep them in the shade...How many budgies do you have again? can they be brought inside? in another cage? I guess you've just got to find a happy medium between not creating extra stress and providing relief where possible. Good Luck :hap: Edited December 29, 2007 by maesie Link to comment

It is very windy today as well which also creates a problem. I have 7 budgies in my flock. 2 Blue, 1 Grey with a yellow head, 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 mauve and one white with a touch of powder blue. If you look in my signature you will see 5 of them the grey and the green would not oblige when I tried to get them all on the one perch. Link to comment

(Laughing out loud)... mine don't like to sit still for photos either. :fear The wet towel is also a good idea. I know a few members also do it on smaller cages. Good luck and I hope the comming days don't get as hot as predicted. I also thought a cool change was due this arvo, but no change as yet grr :fear Your birds are cute as too Link to comment
