Default Re: African Gray care.....

You should have searched for African Grey.


Greys are originally from Africa and therefore are not to be kept at temperatures below freezing. Their native habitat is WARM. Climates for them can safely vary between 60F and 85F. A cold draft could possibly kill them, and in fact a cold draft could kill any pet bird by giving it a quick deadly case of pneumonia. At temperatures around 85F, the Grey requires plenty of shade and water, because otherwise they will overheat. When they overheat, they hold their wings out, open their beaks, and breathe shallowly - and this means they are in danger of heat stroke. Room temperature, 70 to 72F, is probably the best for them.
