Ok.. so Iām decades overdue for full spectrum lighting for my birds. But Iām on it now! First, I have a couple questions that I canāt seem to find the answer to.
I see that they sell both āfull spectrumā and UVB lights specifically made for the requirements of birds. Which one? Iād guess that full spectrum is better, but then why do they make UVB only? (Zoo Med Avian sun).
It looks like these lamps are supposed to be one lamp per cage. For people with multiple cages, it would be ridiculous if not impractical (or impossible if not enough sockets) to give each cage their own light. So how many feet away approximately, are these things supposed to work? The bird room is around 10x13ā
Iāve just set the birds up in this new room, and itās not the brightest room so Iād like to purchase something ASAP. I want to make sure Iām getting the right type. Thanks!
