How to keep my conure warm in winter? Is bathing safe in cold weather?

Question

I was wondering what are some ways to keep a Conure warm in the winter? I have some tents in my birds cage and recently found out to keep the heat in my house 68 degrees and up. I also use a cage cover at night. Is there anything else I should be doing? He loves to use the kitchen faucet to bathe as well and sometimes gets himself pretty wet. Is that ok if he continues to do that during the winter? He loves to bathe. Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Male | 7 months and 26 days old

Thanks for reaching out about Rico. It is fine to allow bathing as long as warm enough to dry off. There are heat lamps available to provide heat support, available at most pet stores. Tropical birds have difficulty stay ing warm in colder weather, as required lots of energy. Covering the cage or providing a tent is not adequate for cold weather. A conure's body will not heat the air in the cover cage to trap heat. Good luck.
