Bird Lighting 

How does Light influence the mental and physical health of birds?
Birds are very sensitive to Light and  Light conditions. Their health and behavior are affected on a daily basis, as well as on a larger seasonal scale On a daily basis, Light determines the sleep cycle, signaling when to sleep and when to wake up   ultimately affecting the quality of sleep. Restful sleep contributes to a healthy immune system, reduces fatigue, and minimizes stress. For general, non-breeding purposes, your bird needs 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness for restful sleep. On a seasonal level, the duration of Light photoperiod affects physical and mental health, as well as the reproductive cycle of birds. Changes in the length of daylight dictate various metabolic processes and trigger various physical and behavioral changes including breeding, molting, migrating, sleeping patterns and other daily behavior
