Many of us have chosen to keep birds of all sort as companions, a hobby, or a source of income.  To accomplish this, two things must necessarily happen.  First, birds must be selectively bred, and second, they must be contained in cages or aviaries.  Irrespective of how humane or elaborate the accommodations, one must recognize that both situations are unnatural and contrived in the general life scheme of birds.

The purpose of this site is to assist the aviculturist in creating and maintaining the best possible environment for their feathered charges.  Lighting is a primary consideration in both health and behavior.  Therefore, every effort has been made to supply the aviculturist with the best information on avian lighting available.
