This may be a dumb question but are these bulbs bad for birds?
I used the Featherbrite full spectrum bulbs for my birds for 16 years. Then my light fixture started to go so I ordered a new universal light from featherbrite
I ordered the universal light which goes above the cage.
However, I noticed that besides a full spectrum bulb it came with this UVB bulb. Both are used together. But then I recently heard the UV bulbs cateracts in birds. My girls are 18 and so I don't want to cause health issues.
If anyone has this light fixture how do you use it? And how long do you keep it on? I phased it out during the summer but prior to that I had it on 4 to 5 hours a day.
