Zoo Med Aviansun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Lamp – 26 Watt

 

The Zoo Med Aviansun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Lamp is designed to provide birds with safe levels of both UVB and UVA light, which are essential for their physical and psychological health.

UVB light is important for birds because it enables them to synthesize vitamin D3 in their skin. Vitamin D3 is crucial for proper calcium metabolism, which is necessary for strong and healthy bones. Without adequate levels of UVB light, birds may develop health issues related to calcium deficiencies.

UVA light, on the other hand, is visible to birds and plays various roles in their daily lives. It helps them recognize mates, locate food sources, and identify different species, enhancing their natural behaviors and social interactions.

Providing the appropriate levels of UVB and UVA light through the Zoo Med Aviansun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Lamp can contribute to the overall well-being and health of pet birds kept indoors where they may not have access to natural sunlight. However, it is essential to ensure that the lamp is used in the correct fixtures and positioned at the appropriate distance to avoid overheating or other potential hazards. As with any pet care product, it is always best to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and consult with a veterinarian experienced in avian care to ensure the proper use and well-being of your pet bird.
