5 FAQs
Why is UV lighting important for parrots?
UV lighting is essential for the production of vitamin D, which supports bone health and feather condition. It also helps regulate natural behaviours and overall well-being.
How often should I replace my bird's UV bulb?
UV bulbs should be replaced every 6-12 months, as their UV output diminishes over time, even if the light still appears functional.
Can I use standard household lighting for my parrot?
No, standard household lighting does not provide the necessary UVB spectrum that parrots need for vitamin D production. Specialized bird lighting is required.
What are the benefits of using a lighting kit with a stand?
A lighting kit with a stand ensures that the light is positioned correctly for optimal UV exposure, and it can be easily adjusted for different cage setups.
How long should I leave the UV light on each day?
It's recommended to provide UV light for 8-12 hours per day to mimic natural daylight cycles and support your bird's health.
