Is ice ok?

Sunflower loves ice. She likes to lick it, eat it, play with it. She always flies over to us when we are getting ice and she tries to fall into our drinks to get to it. I gave her her own cup to see what she would do. She loved it! We are concerned that she will get too cold. Would that be a problem? Should we limit her playtime with the ice?

It's fine. Lots of birds like ice. If she gets too cold she'll stop playing with it.

I have a bird who likes to bathe in the summer by rubbing up against the condensation that forms on a bottle of ice water, or straight up in a plate of ice-cold water. I also put a few cubes into their water to keep it cool. It's fine for them.

I put ice in the water dished for mine each day. Now that the high triple digit heat has passed here in Phoenix, we've moved everyone back outside. I give them ice to keep the water cool and in the bottom of the cage. It doesn't last long, but they enjoy playing with it.
