SPECTRUM LIGHTING
Product ID:
MHLITE
Proper lighting in your cage is very important. Full spectrum lighting not only helps you see more vivid coloration of your bird, but can affect their health and psychology too. Most glass in windows or plastic light covers are made to filter the broad range of spectrum light birds need. Even a cage placed near a window will not get sufficient amounts of UVA/UVB light. Birds use UVB in the synthesis of vitamin D3, a critical element for the metabolizing of calcium in your bird's body. Feather and toe picking, restlessness and agitation, decreased immune response, and shortened life span are all symptoms that can be attributed to a lack of proper lighting for birds.
Most bulbs made for personal use are not designed to emit the range of UVA/UVB many birds need. In addition, many fluorescent fixtures sold commercially come with a plastic protective cover. This plastic cover will filter the UVA/UVB spectrum you are trying to give your bird even if you have a full spectrum bulb in the fixture. We include a wire guard made to fit the fixtures that we sell. This way you can protect your bird from damaging the fixture without filtering the light.
