Bird Heater, Thermostatical Bird Warmer for Parakeets, IP67 Waterproof Bird Accessories and Supplies, 12V

So far this is a hit. I've seen him snoozing up on his perch next to the heater on several occasions ... we cover his cage at night, so to see this I have to disturb him. I think it gives him options for comfort. It's nice and warm to the touch, but not "hot" and the bird has plenty of room to step away from it or go to another perch if needed. As for power use, it is definitely thermostatically-controlled. Using an AC watt meter, I see it sits at around 0.4 watts at idle (warmed up) and about 20 watts when "on". It warms up quickly, by the way. I'll leave the watt meter on all night tonight (we only use the heater at night, so, for an African Grey, 12 hours) and see if I can give an estimate for power consumption in kWh. Result: Last night for my "test" the meter recorded 0.11kWh over 14 hours. Let's squinch those numbers down to an estimate of 0.10kWh for 12 hours, and that results in approx. 3kWh per month, 36 per year. As for the fact that the metal coil protection is not clamped into the nut (and inviting beak attack) I tried hot-gluing it .. well, that didn't last ... he peeled that off and flung it. But I determined that with a loop under tension, the metal part is pressed against the nut, and so far, so good. Do not let the wire just hang. I agree ... it should have better true strain relief. The wire in question is on the outside of the cage ... we let him out of the cage most of the day, so he has access to that one area. The washers could be a bit smaller, for cages like mine (a 1" spacing) but it holds well enough. What I do not like is that the wire from the heater to the barrel connector is too short. I simply cut it off and connected the wires together, as I ran the whole thing through a capped PVC pipe to keep the feathery guy with the beak from getting at it. The protected wire could have been a couple feet longer, in my opinion.

I needed something to help keep my bird warm as the temp began to drop. My bird loves this heater and snuggles up to it every night. Keep in mind it is a very gentle heat. Think of your phone when it starts to get too warm. The heat does not radiate from the heater. It is a snuggle up kind of heater, which is perfect, I don’t have to worry about my birds space getting hot. Fits well in her cage and installation was simple. Been using it for a few weeks, I’ve had no issues. Highly recommend this heater and so does my little Taylor.

My pet parakeet absolutely loved and used this little heater to keep himself warm during the cold winter season. At night he perched as close as he could to it when the temps dropped below 30 degrees at night outside. His cage is near a window but still good to see he uses it. Even used it in these spring days. I have it installed to a Omlet EEO 60 birdcage and this worked well to attach to the cage easily. Highly recommend this item though seems like a lot of money but a sick bird would cost more. The design is solid and durable with wire wrapped in metal to avoid bird from chewing for shock. Smart design and zero worry to run all day and night. Doesn’t get crazy hot to the touch but is like a nice gentle heat like you get from charging a phone battery or something like that.

I've read horror stories of heated pads getting far too hot and burning birds and nervously took a shot on this one. I don't know what possessed me to buy a heated pad explicitly stated in multiple locations to be for parakeets and medium-sized birds for my tiny parrotlet, but I did (that was my error and not why I took off a star) It's comfortably warm with direct contact, but the heat is centered mostly around the circular area you can see on the back. Towards the edges the heat rapidly diffuses and it's only slightly warm. It's still been working for my bird (I think), but it's mostly the uneven heating that's an issue. I've yet to figure out a way to angle a perch with it so my bird can utilize the most heated section of the pad. It's super easy to clean, though.

This is perfect for my macaw. It’s not too hot and she loves it. She sleeps right beside it.

Provides a comforting level of heat. Doesn't heat up the cage or its surroundings, but a nice, gentle heat like a bird would have from sitting near a cage mate. I wasn't sure Sparkabird would like it, but everytime I come in from being gone for a few hours, he is sitting next to it when I get home. I love it, he loves it. I was also nervous about the cord, but it is wrapped in a wire shielding and cannot be reached from inside the cage. Spark does climb all over the outside of the cage when he is out, but he explored it once with his beak and has never bothered it again. I highly recommend.

My parakeet loves snuggling up to this heater. Never would have thought a keet would have liked one, but I’m in apartment that gets kinda cool at night. I have the triangle beds and a fluffy hooded thing, but Sunny likes to press up against this heater best of all. I fastened a square block perch just under it so she can get a full body warmth position. At first I only turned it on at night, but noticed she would go over during the day too, for comfort I think. As she’s not by any draft or windows. I checked out many, even the perches that warm their feet I guess. But when I see her press up against this I’m glad I got this type instead. Also saw more expensive ones but this is just a great size and only warms up just enough. Never felt it overheat. Feels good on my hands too! A great heater and worth the money.

This heater would be perfect because it is parrot safe all around, particularly the cord. BUT... it was so hot, my parrots couldn't get near it. Since there is no adjustment we had to return both of them.

Con la sorpresa que viene sin instructivo, el cuál debería traer desde mi punto de vista, espero funcione, porque sino lo regreso.

This bird heater is a very good product, the only criticism I have is it might be a bit too warm for a small cage.

Used for a few months now. Constantly stays warm my bird loves it and snuggles up to it every night. Glad I purchased and would recommend to anyone with a bird.

Good product! Have used this since I got it. Budgie only in the last week has started to use it overnight. I keep it plugged in basically 24/7 unless i move his cage for his flight / exercise purposes. I like it. Is a life saver for apartments which use use AC frequently and cannot allow birdie to get cold.

Good
