Bring the sun indoors for your bird pals with the Zoo Med Avian Sun Compact Fluorescent Bird Lamp. This lamp is specially designed to provide beneficial UVA and UVB―the full spectrum of natural sunlight that birds need to thrive and stay healthy, both physically and psychologically. Birds need UVB to make vitamin D3 which is essential for growth, overall health, and reproduction, and they use UVA to see colors, recognize mates, locate food, and identify different species. This compact fluorescent bulb provides a balanced light spectrum and is self-ballasted so you can use it in most fixtures, either indoors or outdoors.

Noticeable change
By Acf757 on May 28, 2020
As soon as I turned this on, my female lutino budgie looked all around the cage as if she just put on those colorblind sunglasses that humans can get. It was really cute. I knew the sun was good for birds but didn’t know that they are actually “colorblind” without it. They can see better, find and choose food easier, as well as choose mates and friends with more confidence. My male doesn’t show any change in behavior (he’s always a nut) but my female definitely does every time it’s on. Something to note: I was only able to use this for one week because it fell and a piece cracked off the end and it stopped working. It only fell about a foot and a half but make sure however you have it set up As soon as I turned this on, my female lutino budgie looked all around the cage as if she just put on those colorblind sunglasses that humans can get.

Thankfully the birds were ok but when I buy a new one I will be putting it in an adjustable lamp instead of hanging from a hook. … more

On a timer for 8 hours a day. They need this when they are kept indoors and don’t have direct sunlight. Even f they are beside a window.

28 year old Blue Crown Conure
By Wendy on Oct 7, 2019
My bird is a baby from a breeding pair from 30 years ago. She is getting old now and the light helps her especially in the winter. a timer is a good idea because they need 12 hrs of daylight and 12 hrs of darkness. It needs to be as close to the birds as possible with out letting them being able to chew on any part if the light or cord. hang it over there cage and they will bath in it when they need to. I use a light cover like a mechanic uses to work on cars ,so the rays reflect down on my bird. She can get away from it if she wants.

Makes all the difference for your bird
By horsedoctor3 on Nov 13, 2019
Could tell a real difference in my conure's behavior after installing this lamp-- much more active and happier. Bulbs last about a year-- not bad for the price.

Nice light
By MamaOtter on Feb 13, 2019
I have been researching different brands of avian lights, and decided to get this one while it was on sale to try out. Have only used it a few weeks, haven't noticed a lot of difference in my bird, but he seems to be okay with the presence of this new light source. It fits into my regular stand light that I have next to his cage, but I am still thinking about getting the matching brand of avian lamp to go with this at a later time. This bulb arrived safely and on time!

Makes my budgies more active!
By Mitesh on Feb 14, 2019
I use to keep the overhead light on during the day to give them enough light. However with this lamp directly above the cage, makes my budgies happy and active. I haven't notice any color change in their coat. They do however like to retract in to shadow sometime, Don't really understand why. over all it's a good purchase!
