Yah know me well At 43c at 11.30 am i have to do something to keep them cool. Mila and turbo have the fans going full bore beside their enclosures.

Aww hope they are ok. Do you put ice in their swimming dishes ?

I once saw a chicken cage /coop with the nest box being a large eski. The guy who made it swore that it kept them cool in the summer.

So how high are your temps now @satay? Fingers crossed you have a cool change on the way!

Hi everyone. I just signed up and I thought I'd wander over to the Aussie section. I'm in Western Sydney. I am so new I don't have a single bird yet.

We got to 43.5c and have stayed that way for the last few hours. No cool change just hot west winds.

No I don't for the snakes. Just top up the water if it is needed.
