danmcq Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 No, reptile lamps are not for birds at all. You need to get an avian light and stand such as: http://www.zoomed.com/db/products/Search.php?SearchID=2&DatabaseID=2&Keywords=Lighting&Heading=Avian&Search.x=13&Search.y=16 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/bird-supplies/lighting-bulbs-fixtures-timers/ps/c/5059/5690 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 You need a proper adjustable lamp stand with enclosure/reflector that you can position properly over and at the right distance from your greys cage. I have done a ton of research on avian lighting and I am just advising you what I reccomend and also caution on. There is a lot of science and engineering in developing a correct lamp and setup for avian specific lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
