Question
Hi Tara.


Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The book on parakeets stated that when a parakeet is sick, it is highly recommended to shine a flashlight through her cage. Do you think this will help?


regards,

Julian

Answer
Hello again and thank you for your question,

If she is sick keeping her warm is very inportanat I suppose this is what the flashlight would be for, I would use a reptile heat lamp with a 25/40 watt bulb above her cage too keep her warm.... just be sure she doesnt get too hot.
