All my kaks are wimps then. They complain about 64F.

I had one kak who used to love to watch the snow fall. On a day with fluffy snow flakes, he'd sit by the window all day watching.
I would bring in a tray of snow for him. Kind of funny seeing a kak with snow on his head and beak.

I don't have precise statistics, but I'm pretty sure I have lost more kakariki during summer than during winter, and here the seasons are generally mild, we rarely go below zero, and rarely above 30C
