  1. if it is very hot then keep them out for 20min max, keep a bird bath in their cage and place them in the shade, make sure no other animals can get to them(cat etc..) and supervise them or check on them every 5min.


  2. Not really - parakeets (budgerigars) are native to Australia so they come from a very arid hot environment.

    It shouldn't be dismissed, however, that some domestication doesn't make them immediately able to accept outstandingly hot conditions.

    If you plan on keeping them outside for an hour+, just make sure they are not in direct sunlight (some sun is fine, and is actually good for them, but they need to be able to get away from it if they get hot), they need to have fresh water available the entire time, and you should probably invest in some sort of spray that treats/prevents mites for both the cage and the birds.  Being outside opens them up to both parasites and infections which may not normally be an issue to birds kept indoors - so just keep those things in mind.

  3. It probably would not hurt them as long as they are protected, have a shady place, and also have plenty of water. DO NOT KEEP THEM OUTSIDE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR

  4. if u exposed them to direct sunlight place under a tree or any shade.

  5. no just make sure they have plenty of shade and keep an eye on the weather! we have cockatiels and one day we set them out side (like we did every day) and from out of no where all of this wind came and it blew my cage over and the top fell off :[ one of my birds flew away and we were lucky enough to catch it three days later three miles down the road! make sure you wire tie all doors and or openings where the cage can come apart for storage shut! good luck and be careful!

  6. It wouldnt do much to them but make sure you keep and EYE 0.0 on them

  7. no but take care of them they might die if its too hot and they dont have room to fly
