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

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.

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.

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.

Very easy to install. Heats fast and its consistent. Love the cord guard so birds cant chew on cord. The separation between cord and cord protector does NOT affect the heating process. I recommend product especially if u have multiple birds. Good price.

I bought this for my parakeet. Shes in a small cage. I had a heating lamp on top during the winter and thought this heater would be better. I want to stress that you barely feel any heat radiating from it. It is warm to the touch, but provides very little heat otherwise. If you've got a cold bird, I'd recommend something that uses more electricity.

good quality, works reliably! I recommend getting a thermometer to put on your cage so that you can keep and eye on the cage temp not going too high or fluctuating too much for your birds.

My Sunnie LOVES IT!! It’s nice and warm and very easy to mount onto the cage!

Very reliable. This unit puts out at a constant 109 degrees. I have run it 24/7 since I bought if for my crippled chicken that I rescued. She has to stay in a 4 x 8 run in the house when its too cold or rainy. It wipes clean and seems like it could attach to any cage. I have 2 big dog crates put together and it attaches to the bars very nicely. My chicken girl lays against it very often. This was way better than any other heater I tried.
