With the temperatures reaching an all-time high this summer, you may be spending your time basking in the glorious sunshine. However, the heat isn't a blessing for everyone. Some creatures, such as birds, can struggle to cope when the temperatures change. Unlike humans, birds don't have sweat glands, which makes it difficult for them to cool down.

In extreme conditions, birds can suffer from heat stress, leaving them disoriented and unwell. In some cases, it can prove fatal. Fortunately, there are elegant and effective ways to support their wellbeing, helping these remarkable creatures not only survive, but truly thrive.
