If your birds are fluffed all the time and very lazy and huddled then you could be right Gnasher,but if not then they should be fine really although it does depend on where they were when they moulted for the winter.If they moulted indoors then maybe they could have not so much feather as outside birds(like inside dogs are different from outside ones in coat thickness)but i'm only guessing really.

Are the birds British or foreign?,British are fine as long as they are out of draughts and damp conditions,some of them will roost outside in all elements and suffer little effect.Certain foreign do better with an heated shelter,i would,nt give them access to outside flights until late spring and a tubular heater is the best option,the temperature does not need to be to high for most,to keep them in optimum condition.
