It depends on the species of bird, some birds are pretty hardy and can be kept at relatively low temperatures, others are more sensitive, and have a shorter range of temperature they can handle. What species are you wondering about? Also a bird is more likely to do all right if the temperature is fluctuating slowly over an extended period of time than if the change is more sudden.

I like to keep my house colder in the winter than most at 65 degrees.
In the summer, it doesn't tend to get too hot inside. Maybe 80 degrees at most before I start the central air which will keep it at 78-80.
What about temperature changes? During what conditions would it be alright to take a bird outside for a walk here? The first spring days in the high 40's or low 50's seem so nice to us, could a parrot be outside in this?
If you have an outdoor cage or aviary, what temperatures are alright to leave the bird outside for longer periods?
