Cage by patio doors?

[MandieJune]

Hi, im new to bird keeping, my parakeet cage is by a patio door that is permanently in use, being open and shut to let dogs out in/out, also access to garden. did he die because of the cold? With the door being open/closed woyld be like a,draft? Its been minus 4 in the UK. He went all puffedup, sneezing, runny nose, like a cold.

Oh dear... yeah. If the door is in constant use, then it's best to move the cage. So sorry to hear he passed

Breeder told me he would be ok. He was about 4 months old. I said be next to door but has permanent access to garden, bin shed and letting my dogs out. Its been very cold here. I should've thought when i took him out and his feathers were cold. The breeder said he was hardy but i never had a bird, i researched birds but not kakriki . On hind site i shouldve left when he had no rednecks.
