Hello!
I'm most likely being over the top about this, but I wouldn't mind general advice and/or reassurance I am doing everything I can for my conure.
I live in Southern Cali and for the first time my husband and I have moved into a two story rental home rather than a single level apartment. While the apartments we've lived in weren't perfect for maintaining similar temps throughout the rooms, I found a system that made it so whatever room my conure was in, the temps stayed somewhat decently cool in the summer and warm in the winter (about 67-73 temps). In this rental home I am finding it more easy than ever for my husband and I, but less so for my conure.
We have my conure in the guest bedroom, which is the smallest room and makes the most sense for our setup (we work from home and have our office setup/bedroom in the largest room), and it is above the garage. The rest of the house stays at 71-78 degrees throughout the day no matter the cold temp outside, and we need to run the air conditioner during the day to stay cool, but the room our conure is in lately has been around 68-71 throughout the day, and then drops to 64 degrees at night when the rest of the house stays in the 70's. Our conure hasn't shown any signs of being cold, but just in case I've put up thermal curtains and wrap his bedtime cage in a thick fleece blanket each night. I put one of those magnetic covers over the air vent in his room as well since we are still using the air conditioning. Am I worrying too much about the temperature? He's healthy, goes to the vet every year for check-ups and nail grooming. I've started looking into plug in heaters, but honestly that rabbit hole is very overwhelming trying to find ones that are safe and PTFE/PFOA free.
Any advice/tips/reassurances are greatly appreciated!
