Need help placement for cage

[Ilovebirdsmorethencookies]

Hi everyone! I need some advice! Im planning to redo my room, the cage my bird has Is prettyyyy big and it takes up a LOT of space. (I'm not moving it out of my room) I read putting bird cages near windows is bad but then I read a few other things where it was okay. I have a window that could work she wouldn't be exactly fully up the window only half her cage and the window doesn't have any light at all. What do you guys think?

The biggest issue with windows are drafts. I'm in the northeast US and it's cold in the winter. Modern windows are pretty good at sealing and insulating from drafts, but nothing is perfect. Other possiblity is having the birds stuck in direct sunlight with no shade or ability to be away from it. Sunshine is great but not if they can't self regulate their temperature by removing themselves from it when they need.

My vet before retirement many decades ago gave me this advice. Plan or adding or relocating a feathered friend? Look at location you want. Thumb tack a light weight string from ceiling at area, and place a tea candle mid way down and near floor, light. Turn on fans, heat or air at your norms. Watch for drafts, make plans. Inexpensive and easy to do. Oddly enough with my first apartment there were very few drafts in corner near my large patio doors. It is a pain relocating a large cage. Best of luck.
