FINCHforum

It's winter time and getting colder, I was wondering if I can turn on my heater when my finches around near my living room? Not the one for the whole house, but portable ceramic heater we used to buy from the stores. I don't know if the heater will be toxic/ poison to them? I wish can make them warm too by have heater on nearby, even their feathers should be warm enough. By the way, most of my finches live alone in a cage for now. Usually 2 better because can keep each other warm, but I need to find out which ones get along with other first, which not know until I move them around for next couple weeks a least. I just worried if can have heater on around my finches, I hope the answer is yes if yes should I leave my bedroom door close when heater in my room? Any suggestions will be great! Thanks in advance!

I have a separate bird room in which I use electric heater of air blowing type with humidifier. Ceramic heaters are fine; however, place the heater carefully at a safe distance and taking care of overheating problem.

A ceramic heater will be fine to give additional heat.

I have a small space heater (blower) set about ten feet from the birds. The room is nice and cozy. I think you should be fine with one.

Oh wonderful, thank you for advices. I will try to turn my heater on nighttime then when it's too cold.
