Outdoor Temperture outings

Postby bean » Sat Nov 02, 2013 10:18 am

This is my first time here. My 14 y/o Blue Front Amazon named Bean, is indoor usually except for bathing, and getting sun and stuff like that. But I have been trying to get him more outdoor direct sun exposure. However, I live in the mid-south. Daytime highs right now are the low to mid 60's. If it is a sunny day, but say 60 degrees, is that to cold for him to go outside in the warmest time of day. What is the cutoff would some of you think. I am really seeing how important direct sun is becoming more and more evident in the last few years(to me anyway). And outdoor misting, what what you think the cutoff temp would be for that on a sunny day. Thank You.

Thanks for that, Michael. I had no idea you could bring a parrot out in the winter at all. This is great news!
