@saroj12 @metalstitcher how did you two hang them?
Not right now they don't.They also come with brackets that hang on the cage. Babalu likes to chew on his so I had to set his back away from the side of his cage.

I had questions too like if one would be needed in Florida?Winter time my house at night goes to 66F and 70F with central heating. Tinker is fine with that and sleeps like a baby.
What parrots need a 100F heating pad? Don't the nights get cool in those climes during their winter months. A friend of mine says the Congo gets darn right cool at night at times.
So my question why do we need heating pads?
My thought is when a bird is older or ill.I had questions too like if one would be needed in Florida?
I can see that, maybe.My thought is when a bird is older or ill.
I was in a parrot fb group and this girl was complaining that her bf kept the house at 65 and she was worried about her quaker. Everyone was telling her to dump her bf or get a space heater for the quaker. Meanwhile people from south america were trying to explain that these birds live outside in freezing temperatures in their wild habitats but no one was listening.Winter time my house at night goes to 66F and 70F with central heating.

But I suppose those birds are much more active in their natural habitat, they have to beware of predators, and find food, so they don't sit all day long like our caged birds do.these birds live outside in freezing temperatures in their wild habitats but no one was listening.
That means that they are expending more energy.But I suppose those birds are much more active in their natural habitat, they have to beware of predators, and find food, so they don't sit all day long like our caged birds do.
yeah, we can handle it too, but if you've been freezing while at school or at work, you know it is not enjoyable..As long as birds have proper nutrition they can handle cold, and even freezing temperatures.
