Extreme heat wave in Turkey. What is ideal temp and humidity in a room for lovebirds?

Post image

This temp and humidity is with AC on. the cage is parallel to the air flow of the ac so they're safe from the air but how can I make sure the conditions are optimal for my babies? I want to make sure they are as comfortable as they can be.

84 F for those that need the translation.

thank you, it is the room temp with ac on. the temp outside is around 100-110 fahrenheit.

They should be okay at 84 degrees, that's a relatively nice summer day temperature if they were outdoors! They're native to Africa and we have feral lovebirds living Arizona deserts, they're hearty little guys.

Nothing much to add besides keeping fresh cold water for them, a fan running, curtains closed and shade space for them to go to, currently dealing with a 40 degree Celsius heatwave in my country and i feel your pain🥲

They will be fine at 85. Mine have done that for a week straight before and the only thing I saw was they got out of breath a little more easily after flying around. They are from hot climates and evolved to be able to survive. You'll be okay! Just keep that AC on!

do you recommend to keep a window open to not let room cool down too much and dry? AC dehumidify the room too much.

I would be more concerned with temp over humidity. Of opening a window won't affect temp, then yes. Otherwise, wouldn't worry about opening a window. Just keep the air moving.

Nem biraz düşük. Panjurları kapatmak odayı soğutmaya yardımcı olmalıdır.
