Zoo Med Avian Sun™ 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent

Zoo Med Avian Sun™ 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent

Overview

The Zoo Med Avian Sun™ 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent is specially designed to meet the unique lighting needs of pet birds. This full-spectrum lamp provides both UVB and UVA light, essential for physical health, behavior, and well-being. UVB allows birds to naturally synthesize vitamin D3, ensuring proper calcium metabolism for strong bones, growth, and egg production. UVA, visible to birds but not humans, enhances natural behaviors by allowing birds to recognize mates, locate food, and see true colors—without it, birds are essentially colorblind.
