In winter, it stays about 35 in the day and can drop as low as 0 at night.
I want to know if I can keep my birds warm out there in the winter? How?
They are cockatiels.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Unless you want to spend a fortune using an electric heater which will cost you about $60.00 a month!
Bring your birds in for the winter or they will die! I had aviaries but they had a cinder block building they could fly in and out of during the warm seasons which I kept warm with electric, regulated heat in the winter! (During the winter, I closed the door which confined them to the heated room.)
With temperatures as low as you have described, you will never be able to keep an aviary, even if you board it entirely up, warm enough without running an electric heater! Furthermore, if you choose to do this, you will be horrified when you get your electric bill!

No not if its unheated and outdoors. From what I was taught, they are suseptable at anything below 60degrees fargenhieght. I've left my parakeets out side at slightly below 50 degrees F. but that was only one time.

a heater on a thermostat would help keep your birds warm at a certain temperature in winter.

you could build a large shed or put them in your house but if you put it in your house then that would be a mess but you can call some one that knows everything about birds and asked them because nobody on here gots the RIGHT answer you want go to some one who knows A LOT about them

You can, if you enclose the aviary with some sort of tarp or protection and make it remain heated, though this can be time-consuming.

They don't need any heat, if they are well fed.
Last year mine stayed out in temps of minus 15c and they will stay out again this year
