The coldest that a finch should be is about 20 degrees celcius. |

Also birds grow up to get used to what ever climate they’re in whether it’s hot or cold. I live in a stinker of place, we have plenty of wild cockatoos & parrots here too, doesn’t mean they cope with our heat because it’s where they come from. Many don’t & we have to take steps to keep them cool. If you google parrot forums or something similar you’ll come across a few UK ones. |

Cockatoos are native to australia and so are other parrots. |

Yes and in parts of Australia it is humid like Florida thus making it possible for cockatoos to live outdoors in Florida but it is too cold in the UK for them. Same with african greys and macaws since they come from the tropics. Cockatiels are like cockatoos in this sense. |

Perhaps you should check out a few UK forums & tell them they can’t have their birds live outside then. As I’ve said & my point was, it can be done if it’s done properly & the correct steps are taken. All it takes is finding the correct information about the outdoor birds in your area. Because a place is too cold does not mean it can’t be done if it’s done properly. |

You can keep chickens, ducks, turkey, peacocks, etc. outdoors basically anywhere as long as you have the right enclosure. Don’t underestimate chickens, they are very smart and have unique personalities. They are a TON of fun! I’ve had them since I was seven and I’d never want any other outdoor bird. They are easy to take care of, provide delicious fresh eggs (cruelty free!), fertilize the garden, and are generally the happiest pet you could have. Being outside barbequeing with friends and having the chickens wandering around is really fun. I have a couple that walk right up and hunch down for a pet, one even chases me around until I pick her up for some loves : D Chickens have thousands of different vocalizations and are extremely social birds. They love company, and when raised with humans will associate them as one of their flock, just like any other type of bird. Instead of picking the animal you want most or you think would be coolest to have, pick an animal based on how well and properly you can care for it. If you want an outdoor enclosure, choose birds that THRIVE in outdoor enclosures, not ones that might be able to survive in one. Good luck on your search!

Quote: the worst i have ever got in my area is about 0 degrees celcius. i was wondering if i could keep canaries, finches or cockatiels outside. The school i go to me keeps free range indian peacocks, doves and flamingos without any trouble.
I don’t know about canaries, finches etc...cokcatiels are fine, again if the right steps are taken. This can go on & on within this forum but unless you speak to UK forum people yourself about this really you won’t get anywhere. No one will know better than bird owners in the UK..... http://www.parrot-link.co.uk/ http://www.parrot.com/forums/english/ http://www.birdcrazy.pro boards2.com/index.cgi http://www.birdline-meetingplace.co.uk/ |
