Around 30 degrees celsius is usually sufficent, however for really sick ones up to 35 degrees is okay. Just watch the bird to ensure they are tight feathered without signs of overheating.

And welcome to the forum.

Hi Annewill.
Welcome to the forum.
I keep mine at 28c. 28 - 30c is near enough. Good luck.
Cheers,
Loz.

Welcome to the forum. If the bird is close to the heat source it is not too hot. If the bird is as far away from the heat source as possible, turn it down.
