Description
This Compact Fluorescent Bird Lamp emits as much UV as a full length fluorescent tube and is ideal where space is at a premium or if a fluorescent tube won`t look `right`.
It will fit in any ordinary screw bulb light fitting and although it`s only 20w it shines as brightly as an ordinary 100w bulb and will give the bird all the health benefits of natural sunlight.
Providing the correct levels of UVB allows the bird to synthesise vitamin D3 in their skin, or through a special process involving the preening gland. Vitamin D3 is essential for proper calcium metabolism. This is necessary for normal growth, maintenance of strong bones and egg production.
Birds have specialised retinas that enable them to see UVA, helping them to recognise mates, locate food, and identify different species. Without UVA, birds are deprived of the full colour spectrum they see in nature and are colour blind. Unlock their world and let them see it in full colour!
UVA is essential for the psychological health of birds. Using lighting that emits UVA can also help to curb feather picking and other destructive behaviours.
