Natural Sunlight How important is it to you Parrot?

Bird experts around the world have long believed in the benefits of natural sunlight for our feathered friends. Just think for a moment. In their natural habitat birds are exposed to natural sun light every day. The facts are they need the sun for vitamin D metabolism
And for mental well being.

The ideal is to place your bird in a room where he has access to natural sun light. If this is not possible artificial sun light can be an option. Full spectrum light from an artificial source will work just as well as the sun. Fresh air is also very important. With wings properly clipped take your bird outside with you. He will enjoy the outdoors and his time with you. Of course never leave your bird alone outside. He would have no protection against any dangers. Make sure your bird gets at least 10 hours of darkness and quiet for complete restful sleep. And at lest 4 hours out side of his cage every day for all hookbills.
