Hi all
Just said a quick hello in the newbie area. Hope this is in the right section. Back into amazons after some years and im just wondering about over wintering birds. Ive recently acquired a pair of BF's but this time around it will be an outdoor set up with large flights..they are currently pretty snug in an insulated shed and doing well, that said winter has been pretty mild. they came from an aviary which had an inside area but not heated and I was informed that they didnt need it and were hardy birds from birth 4 years ago... Im led to believe that amazons can tolerate cold conditions to a point once acclimatized? providing heating is not a problem but I just want to get my ducks in a row in terms of heating, size of aviary's, position, expense etc. any help much appreciated.
