Most birds are mostly waterproof. Their feathers, aided by oil from preen glands, keep them pretty watertight. So why do birds avoid flying during rainstorms? It may have more to do with the air than with the water. Rainstorms tend to occur when atmospheric pressure is low. Air in a low-pressure system is less dense. But it’s dense air that gives birds the aerodynamic lift they need to take wing. Falling rain and high humidity make air even less dense. Many birds perch and wait out a storm. Afterward, birds once again take to the skies. https://lnkd.in/dGtTeKxZ

How birds can fly long and fast

Thinking about keeping your parrots outside? It’s possible, but a few modifications are necessary to ensure they thrive. Parrots are exotic birds, and the UK weather isn’t their natural habitat. By adjusting your aviary and monitoring temperatures, you can provide a safe and enriching space. Temperature control is key, with most parrots enjoying 19-22°C. You’ll need to invest in proper equipment to keep them comfortable all year round. Is your parrot already enjoying the great outdoors?
