so I was reading an article recently which discussed the wet bulb phenomena (in a nutshell, when temperatures and humidity rise to such a point that can’t support life) as it pertains to humans and it got me thinking about SADS or “Sudden Avic Death Syndrome” and I’m wondering, has this (Wet Bulb) ever been brought up when discussing SADS?
because from what people describe, (über hot, über wet + stagnant) - it to me sounds like maybe this could be the case? i think it would be interesting to catalog new SADS posts and see what the temp/humidity levels were - in time, perhaps through collective consensus we could determine what would be the “wet bulb” threshold for T’s which could help prevent SADS from happening
thoughts? and this could extend to other species other than Avics, like, I’ve read some care sheets on Asian fossorials that proposed preposterous humidity levels when humidity itself is literally the amount of water vapor in air which one would assume would be dramatically lower the deeper you are, you know, underground - which is probably why said species evolved to be fossorial in the first place
