K&H Pet Products Snuggle-Up Bird Cage Heater, Bird Cage Accessory, Exotic Bird Warming Panel for Medium/Large Exotic Birds Like Parrot, Cockatoo, Macaw, African Gray - Large 7 X 4in Gray 12V

Great heat source for my birds. My house struggles to stay warm so having these in the cages helps. I keep them plugged into a battery backup incase of power failures and I feel like these would give me a buffer somewhat before the temp drops way low.

My birds love these heaters. During the winter they snuggle up against them. They are not hot to the touch and put out the perfect amount of heat.

I have used K&H Snuggle-Up Warmers for years. I had the smaller ones for my cockatiels and now I use the larger one for my umbrella cockatoo. I put it on her cage before covering her cage for the night. I do prop the cord out of her reach even though it is a rubber coating over a protect sheath. She is always next to it when I uncover her in the morning. I use it year-round and was very grateful for it last winter when we were without heat when our apartment building boiler went out and I didn't want to run space heaters near her cage. I have had to replace a few over the years as the coating over wires that go into the unit will give and the wires will break, but I still love the product and keep one on hand in case this happens.

I liked that I it warms up nicely and seemed fine. That is until I looked behind the cage where the wire was. The vinyl/pastic that covers the metal cable was chewed off and worse of all my Indian ringneck chewed through the exposed wires. Check out the picture. If I had used my head when I installed it I would have returned it immediately. There may be steel around the main part of the wire but this black rubber like covering was all chewed up and my little stinker had chewed through the wire and exposed the copper filaments. Thank goodness it was low voltage, but still. She did not pull the wire out of its casing. It was like this from the start. Take a look at the seller's own pictures to see that there is a big gap between the steel casing and the heater box itself. Doh!!Off to e-waste it went. I purchased as a replacement the "Colorday Stainless Steel Snuggle Up Bird Warmer 5V USB Large 4"x7" ". Much better construction. Very happy with that product.If your bird is not curious and doesn't wander around checking everything out, when you're looking and when you're not, then you should be fine. Otherwise, this is a death trap.

This is our third heater. Second one (back up) stopped working but the first one is still heating like a champ. This third one isn't as warm but works. Birdie loves it and keeps her warm. We use it in summer with A/C on, too.

I initially purchased a 3 inch x 5 inch version last year. Bebop has a very large main cage and a same heavy gauge constructed "travel" home. The small size is perfect for his travel home. I took the opportunity to get the medium size unit for his main home.This "medium" 4 inch x 7 inch unit is quite larger and perfect for his main home. Both heater units work faithfully and provide a perfect amount of safe heat whilst being quite sturdy and pretty much impossible for Bebop to destroy in his curiosity. Whilst Bebop took a day or two to get used to the small unit last year, when I opened the package for the new larger unit, Bebop became excited and recognized what it was immediately. Bebop knew just what to do this time around and is very happy with the larger unit.I mounted the heater unit at an angle which Bebop likes better when he sits with it. It is high up in a branch perch ... at night I drape a thin blanket over the upper area of his home which catches and collects the heat for cold nights. Your parrot will probably do what Bebop does - he sits closer or further away a few inches depending on his own comfort.In my opinion as owning the small and medium size of these heaters, your parrot will learn to love it and you will rest easy knowing there will be good, safe heat for your buddy bird.The heater is well made, logical, and perfect. 100% approved by Bebop the parrot!

Well Kiwi is staying cozy this winter between this little heater and his heated perch by K&H. Birds can catch colds easily and sometimes you can’t keep from losing them. It’s a cold winter I also cover her nightly and she looks pretty confee when I uncover in the mornings

This works great. My feral cat hasn't left his house since the "upgrade"!. It's safe for him, won't burn him, keeps his house warm along with the heated mat and water dish. It keeps his house perfect with the thermostat built in. Highly recommend. Sorry the pic isn't real clear, it was taken through the screened window.
