Why UV Light is Essential for Captive Birds:
Captive birds often lack direct exposure to natural sunlight, which can lead to a range of health issues. Mimicking the sunlights natural UV content is not just a luxury but a necessity. By replicating natural UV light, this globe encourages birds to exhibit their natural behaviours, leading to a more enriched and stimulating environment. Regular exposure to UV light supports natural avian vision and essential Vitamin D3 production, promoting strong bones and improving overall health, which can lead to better breeding outcomes.
- T5 lamps produce nearly two times more light over the whole spectrum than standard output T8 lamps. They are bright, energy rich, slimline and ‘Flicker Free’.
