Do you help your birds keep cool?

Do you help your birds keep cool?

Yes I do, I have cool birds, half the feathers and they stay cool on their own. Naked neck turkens are the coolest

My bigger birds learned about the delights of wading in water to cool off but my younger birds are staying under the low, bushy palms when temps hit 95 degrees.

I just ordered this mister and I'm going to set it up over that palm.
Have you tried a mister or do you have any other techniques for keeping your birds cool?

I just make sure that my girls have plenty of shade and wanter. I also make sure that I several waterers around their free ranging space. They pretty much do the rest.

I bought a mister from amazon (where else?) and had it set up for them but thought to use it as a way to keep their water fresh instead. The bowl's not full here because I just set it up, but you get the idea. It keeps it full and fresh and I don't have to top it off all day. We're in the mid-90's here the last 2 weeks and this is a big problem that is now solved. I'll buy a 2nd mister to use as a way for them to keep cool.
Also, everything they eat is wet. Watermelon, their feed, tomatoes, you name it. It keeps them hydrated without having to guzzle water.

Problem Solved.
This sprinkler has about 10 settings and the fine spray is like a thick mist.
It is soaking that whole palm and another 6 feet all the way around.
My mister was a fart in a windstorm compared to this.
Good solution. As long as you have a well.
The spring water here is 72 degrees, all year round.
It is 96 degrees right now and the young birds are dancing and skipping through the trees. When they get hot, they just head for the beach.
