Why Outdoors?

Indoors, full spectrum lighting is popular however, the term full-spectrum is a marketing term, not an industry standard. The product we buy may have each wavelength of visible and/or UV light represented when the lamp is  lit but, the spectral power emitted by each wavelength varies from  product to product.

An aviary for your bird is a safe space for them to enjoy the direct  sunlight that most efficiently promotes vitamin D3 production for healthy bones and feathers.

In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has  indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more  seriously polluted than the air outdoors, in even the largest and most industrialized cities.

 According to the EPA, the levels of indoor air pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels. In some cases, these levels can exceed 100 times that of outdoor levels of the same pollutants. In other words, sometimes the air inside can be more harmful than the air outside.

Birds were  built for for flight! Their whole body works to accommodate flying. But even if your Companion doesn't fly - climbing, bouncing, and swinging provide other means to keep fit.

Exercise  is a vital component for your Parrot's respiratory and immune system health. It also promotes a healthy weight, hormonal balance, and helps  alleviate stress.

An outdoor habitat is not just about the beautiful sunlight and the cleaner air. It offers great environmental stimulation and is an important part of your enrichment program.

 Safely exposing a bird to the ever-changing scene outdoors stimulates their natural curiosity and helps them habituate to the changes that take place indoors.

 "He is loving the aviary--after you left he wanted to go out  there again, stayed in it by himself and checked out almost everything –  no squawking."
