Best lighting for lovebirds

Proper lighting is essential for the health of lovebirds, as it influences their sleep patterns, hormone production, and overall well-being. Natural sunlight is ideal, but ensure that the cage is partially shaded to prevent overheating. If natural light isn’t available, use full-spectrum lights that mimic natural sunlight, providing UVA and UVB rays necessary for vitamin D3 synthesis. Place the light source above the cage and maintain a consistent day-night cycle, ideally with 10-12 hours of light and 12-14 hours of darkness. Avoid using artificial lights that flicker, as they can cause stress and disrupt the lovebird’s natural behavior.
