A compact light bulb designed to imitate natural sunlight, that is great for pet Parrots

This Bird Systems Compact UV Bird Light – Screw Fitting 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`.

Although it`s only 23w it shines as brightly as an ordinary 100w bulb and will give your bird all the health benefits of natural sunlight.

Providing the correct levels of UVB allows your 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 your bird see it in full colour.

UVA is essential for the psychological health of your bird. Using lighting that emits UVA can also help to curb feather picking and other destructive behaviours. We recommend using for 6- 8 hours per day, split over two 3-4 hour periods with at least a 2 hour break in between.

Please note: Can only be used with Bird Systems lamps, not Avian Sun/ZooMed or Arcadia.

EU adaptor not supplied.

It should be used between 6 – 8 hours a day.
