Same as in the summer, its got to be pine shavings for me. No nasty smells and easy to clean out.

They really really don't need any extra warmth. I use bedding to stop the poop from going on the timber and for keeping the birds clean and for making life easier for me.

I thought all your birds sit on sticks to sleep.  No bedding on a stick  :wink:  

As Bodger says it's just to keep the floor clean.

I'm a complete convert to flax bedding, winter and summer. Clean, dry, easy to handle and compost down.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
