The a.c. is on 75 and she's shivering? I have found that my CAG can handle temps in the 60's or lower if done gradually, the shivering you see can be from nervous, anticipation, or happy, or illness. Mine does it usually if he is happy to see me when I first get home from work ,he gets shivers and fluffed up, or if there are strangers in the house. My air conditioner is on 76 during the summer and the heat in 2months of winter at 68-70. Hope this helps.

If her cage is near the air vent, the cold air could be blowing on her which would make her shiver. Make sure she is not getting a draft. Otherwise, she could be excited or afraid. As fas as temperature is concerned, if you are comfortable, she will also be comfortable.

Toongone-yes, unless she is directly in a draft, that shouldn't be a problem. Birds are quite capable of dealing with lower temps. They can fluff their feathers out to trap warm air next to their skin. "Shivering" can mean many things. Is it just her belly feathers? THAT is a sign of real happiness in Greys. Mine often greets new visitors with a "shivering" belly (they even frequently ask about it). I can truthfully tell them, "See his shivering belly? That's his way of saying he REALLY likes your company!" People LOVE it, they learn to not be afraid of the big bad parrot beak, and my bird gets to interact with visitors! It's win-win!

In the winter the heating is on in the day and off all night but they are covered at night and the house cools down gradually.
