Most hardware stores sells this stuff that you can put over the windows (without blocking the light) that goes on with a blow dryer.. and come spring, i comes off pretty easily.

Humans can always get warm with a blanket and such, birds -- I'm not sure have the same option. Is there any kind of covering you can get for the birdcage (if he lives in a cage) to keep his area warm?
