Help your bird see more with the Vision CFL UVA/UVB Mini light. UVA enhances a bird's perception of its indoor environment to simulate nature. It stimulates appetite, encourages foraging and food recognition, motivates mating and can reduce psychological behaviours such as feather plucking. UVB facilitates assimilation of vitamin D3 for optimal calcium absorption.
In nature, having a UV receptor may give a bird an advantage when foraging for food; UV reflectance and absorption by different fruits may advertise their presence. Females are attracted to males that show their brightest UV reflectance, so having UV vision can serve as a useful indicator of the health of a mate. Furthermore, it benefits the 4-cone receptors in avian vision to detect a broader palate of colours and perceive UV colours invisible to the human eye.
Key Features:
- Helps improve overall well-being
- Provides environmental enrichment
- Enables pet birds to see a greater spectrum of colours and colour vibrancy
- Aids with vitamin D3 synthesis for proper calcium absorption
- Helps stimulate appetite, activity and reproductive behaviour
- May reduce undesirable psychological behaviours

Properly recycling CFLs according to disposal laws ensures that you and/or waste management workers do not come not in contact with harmful substances contained within the lamp (should the bulb break and harmful substances become exposed, they can be absorbed through the skin or by inhalation). In addition to these safety considerations, it ensures that the valuable parts of the lamp, such as glass and metal components, are not lost.
What to do if a CFL Breaks:
The chemicals inside CFLs can be harmful if a bulb breaks. If you accidentally break a CFL, follow these steps:
- Put on gloves and a mask to shield yourself from the chemical dust.
- Collect all broken bits in an airtight container using a damp paper towel.
- Turn off all central air conditioning and fans for 15 minutes.
- Take the bulb to a recycling site.
