Are darker rooms bad for birds? Mine get natural light, but not a lot of it as the window is small, and filtered through a window. I use a regular lightbulb to make the room lighter for them, but it's just a regular lightbulb without UVA or UVB.
I've been looking into Full Spectrum Lighting designed specifically for birds, to replace the regular old lightbulb, to hopefully make them healthier. I have heard artificial non full spectrum lights without natural lighting can affect their skin, feather and bone health which is the reason I am looking at changing.
Which I wanted to ask some questions about.
1 - Is there a specific brand/bulb that is recommended? (hopefully one that is able to ship to NZ)
2 - Do the bulbs just screw in where average lightbulbs are put?
3 - Are they safe? Is there a better alternative to these bulbs?
