Measure in the right place
Place the thermometer and humidity meter beside the cage at perch height. Check once during the coldest and warmest parts of the day.
- Measure at cage height
- Check early morning and midday
- Compare curtains open and closed near windows
Heating and cooling
Redirect continuous airflow away from the cage. Heating can dry the air quickly, so check temperature and humidity together.
- No direct air-conditioner or heater airflow
- Monitor humidity while heating
- Move your bird before strong ventilation
- Keep cooking smoke and overheated-pan fumes away
Contact a clinic when changes continue
If unusual behavior continues after the environment is stabilized, contact a clinic that treats birds. This guide does not replace diagnosis or treatment.
