After reading all the information about avian lighting here on the board, and a few other articles, I thought Sukei was getting enough sun in the morning. We bring her outside at 6Am for about 45 min while it is still under 100 degrees.
The vet mentioned that I should get one, but I didn't really think about it anymore.
Found myself at petzone wandering around looking at all the parrots and parrot paraphernalia and saw a light... 22KD ($77 US)
So I picked it up, thought, it cant hurt.
Well I am a believer...... scratching/picking is way down, activity level is way up and he is MUCH more vocal. Might be my imagination, but he appears to be eating more also. It is also a good night time signal, if he is out of the cage and I turn off the light, he climbs right in the house
Guess we will see how it goes
