There are many benefits for providing proper UV lighting to pet birds. By simulating natural sunlight with an Avian Light, for birds that are housed indoors, you are providing environmental enrichment and helping your bird to see his indoor world as it would in nature.
Very often, during the daylight hours, pet birds do not get proper or adequate lighting which can significantly affect their behavior and overall health. Reproduction & hormones, feather vibrancy & structure, sleep cycles & moods are all influenced by light cycles and photoperiods. Proper cage lighting is an essential element that should be considered when setting up your pet birds cage.
Exposure to natural sunlight is ideal. However, it involves taking your bird outside and this is not always convenient or an option. Simply placing your bird by a window will not work since light filtered through glass loses the necessary wavelengths. The next best thing is to bring the outdoors in! You can do this by setting up cage lighting that emits simulated natural sunlight conditions, including ultraviolet rays.
Optimal UVA/UVB output for health and wellbeing
Benefits the 4-cone receptors in avian vision to detect a broader palate of colours and perceive UV colours invisible to the human eye.
UVA enhances a bird’s perception of its indoor environment to be more like nature. It stimulates appetite, encourages foraging and food recognition, motivates mating and can reduce psychological behaviours such as feather plucking.
UVB facilitates assimilation of vitamin D3 for optimal calcium absorption.
