i really don't know what to do here. i don't know anyone that can really help.
where we live, it gets pretty hot this time of year, especially towards the beginning of summer. our ac broke after a thunderstorm and my room has been very stuffy. it gets fixed on thursday, but i'm worried about my budgies' health until then. they are showing signs of overheating (panting, spreading wings) and are stressed and won't even let me near them. beyond that, they are still active, eating grooming and chirping, but those signs alone are enough to worry me. i put an ice cube in their water but it melted quickly, and i set a cold water dish in the cage but they won't even go near it. i've also tried misting them but that doesn't seem to have helped much either. the blinds in my room are all closed and i have several fans going (none are pointed directly at the cage to avoid a draft). if anyone has advice for me, please, please help me. i don't know what else i can do and i don't want my birds to get sick and die from something i wasn't even able to prevent.
