Re: Heating system died.. advice?

Your bird is most likely fine. Feathers are very good insulation.

You think your house sitter is bad? Mine left the door open when she was
moving the bird to clean cages and he flew out and away. I had to cut my
vacation short and make the 8 hour drive back to retrieve the bird. When I
drove up the pet sitter was in the garage with the door open where she was
cleaning up after another bird - the same situation that enabled the first
bird to escape - the front gate to the yard was open, and the ducks were
about to wander into the street. Now THAT is a bad sitter!
