UVB lighting

Looking to get our G2 a UVB full spectrum bulb and fixture to put in it. Was curious as to what if any you all recommend. Need something to attach to her cage.

I recommend Arcadia lighting. I personally wouldn’t use any other brand. The CFL bulbs (FeatherBrite, ZooMed Avian Aun, etc.) that claim to be UV give off a negligible amount. You want full fluorescent tubes which is what Arcadia makes. They have fixtures that attach to the cage, too. They’re pricey but worth it. If you’re in the US you can buy their products at lightyourreptiles.com

You do not want a fixture that attaches to the cage because your bird will attacked to the fixture I know I have G2s

Cord biting can be a real problem. Having further away is better for a couple of reasons... One of which is lower intensity of UV light. This is especially important if your bird is a feather chewer as they can be burned by excessively harsh UV from certain kinds of bulbs.
