cold house by: lori
I keep my house cold because the heater dries out the air and we live in a very dry climate. I bought infared heat panels for the day time as well as heated perches which they love. I also bought the thermostate for the heat panels so they aren't on unless the temp goes down. My birds love them.

Cold or Sick Parakeet by: Linda
If your home is cold, the heater should help. A cover for the cage will also help. Make sure the heater is not too close to him, and make sure it is electric. Gas heaters are dangerous for birds and people.
I'd cover cage with a light colored material, and you can leave front open so he can see everything.Make sure top and sides are covered, and ALWAYS COVER YOUR BIRD AT NIGHT, EVEN THE FRONT.
This shaking can also be sign of illness, so make an appointment with an Avian vet in your are and take him in for a checkup. Birds get sick just like we do, only they won't get well without the care of a doctor trained to help birds.
