What Temperature Range do Budgies Need?
Wild budgies live in the central area of Australia – in hot, dry deserts. Summertime temperatures get into the mid to high 90s. The budgies hide in the trees during the day, and try to stay cool. In the winter they migrate to stay in a warm zone, usually not below 68-70F. In a cage, since they are “trapped” at the temperature you set and cannot escape to a warmer or cooler spot, make sure to keep the temperatures in the middle – around 70-80F. Always have water available so they can cool down, and if there is sunlight or light shining into the cage, always have a shady spot where they can retreat to.
