extreme temperatures

[sk8rchik13ny]

What are the extreme temperatures that budgies can live in.

Mine are in an outside garage. It can get up to about 90.
In the winter time, I want to bring them into my enclosed porch, but don't know for sure how cold it can get. I'm sure it would be below freezing.There may not be an option to bring them in the house itself for the winter. Would just a heat lamp work? Are there energy star rated heat lamp bulbs?

Anything less than 65 degree's without having protection from the outside air, like a deep, warm nest box or the like in a building might kill them if they didn't have a slow, over time ability to get use to the change slowly. In other words they must be acclimated slowly over time. This and the following temp's are for Healthy Birds Only.
 
Sick or in poor health birds would die if not kept warmer than normal.
 Heat is a must for sick birds.
 
Larger avian species can survive when acclimated over time to 60 degree's IF they have protection from cold and winds.

So, for my birds, the answer to the question  is going to be 65 to 85 degrees. I think...

Mine are in a shed which gets at least 96 they get misted multiple times a week. Id assume it gets hotter in australia. Its not heat lamps that would be a problem its drafts.

in australia its alot hotter
100 degrees farenhight is 36 degrees here and thats the normal temperature here
so imagine about 48 degrees!

The problem is less temperature range than it is change. You need to avoid sudden jumps in either direction in temperature, dampness during cold, drafts and winds. I don't love the idea of keeping parrots in areas that are not climate controlled if you live in a place with very changeable weather.
