I've never really met a bird that had problems with overheating. Mostly we just had to worry about them getting too cold. That's pretty hot. It's about the same here too. We have the same problems with people and dogs too.

When an animal is suffering heat exhaustion, it is not good to cool them down too quickly. You shouldn't put them in ice cold water for those reasons.
