You go to the home depot and buy yourself some heating lamps. They are safer then a heater. I use them in my outdoor aviaries you can also find the correct kind at feed stores or pet shops References : http://groups.myspace.com/StrictlyCockatiels
I am not sure why you need a heater, is the bird sick? Because they do not recommend putting heat sources next to their cages unless you are talking about a sick bird and I was told to just put an electric heating pad over the top of the cage (over its nite cover so he cant bite at it). If you have baby birds, they need an incubator heating system and the best place to look is online for animal suppliers. Probably you may have to look at an Agway – farm suppliers. References :
The room I keep my birds in can get chilly in the winter. You can use any commercial space heater provided they do not use any teflon. A lot of them do use teflon, but do not put it on the label – you have to contact the manufactureer and make sure.
Also make sure not to put it too close to the cage. I just ordered a Holmes ceramic space heater based on other bird owner’s advice. References : http://www.lovebirdsplus.com discussion boards
I keep my NJ bird in my well insulated garage until winter and use two Patton electric heaters to keep him warm (bought at Home Depot). I have been assured by Patton that no Teflon/PTFE is used in any of their heaters. It must be true since my bird is fine. I use two heaters and keep one on each side of the cage about 1.5′ away – if it gets too cold the second heater will kick in. A second heater is also required in case a circuit breaker is tripped (keep 2nd heater on a separate circuit). My cage is a 3′x4′ and my Blue & Gold seems happy!
At the risk of sounding anal, I also have a thermometer hanging on the wall at perch height. If you plan to keep you bird in risky area through winter, I suggest a battery backup in case of power outage. It only takes one freezing night to kill your companion. References :
Must be in some pet stores.
