No, I don't know the breed. She's about a foot tall, plus tail, and her mom said she's 35 years old.
I took over sitting from someone else and a few details didn't get passed along, like, how warm she likes it.
Yesterday I left the house temp at 65. Came in this morning and I though she looked fluffed and unhappy. She fanned her tail at me and wouldn't talk (although I did get "good girl!" when I filled her food dish). She has no heat lamp, so I bumped the house temp up to 70 and hung out for a while. She looked less unhappy when I left.
Of course I have no idea if she was cold, unhappy with me, unhappy with being left with a barking dog all night (although she usually is), or mad at her mom for ditching her. I tried to bribe her with a peanut and she grabbed it and flung it to the floor.
So anyway, does 70 seem like a reasonable choice? Do I need to worry about the fluffing? Anything to watch for in a parrot?
