Is this a safe bulb for parrots?

Yes, but you must keep the bulb OUTSIDE of the cage (Far enough so the birds can't contact it.) The bulb itself gets hot enough to cause burns if direct contact is made. Also, you must have an area inside the cage where the lights 'Hot Spot' Doesn't shine, to allow the birds to migrate to a cooler area to avoid overheating. 12 to 18 inches away from area to be heated is sufficient.

Yes. We have had no problems with it. Have bought the same bulb in the past.

I dont think so , these bulbs are for small reptile tanks even in small tanks its not enough sometime. Dont know much about amazons or cockatiels but i recommend doing some research online for some recommendations for these birds.

I don't think so. It is designed for the Parrot. It would be an expensive experiment.

Yes. The bulb is safe to use in any standard socket/holder as a spotlight. It gives heat and some ventilation is necessary to prevent overheating.

We ordered the "Zoo Med AvianSun Deluxe Floor Pet Lamp" when we got the bulbs. It was easy to assemble and although it looks a little cheap at first it has been working great for our birds for the past few years. This light lets up adjust and move around the light to have our birds get maximum exposure benefit without having the light in their faces constantly. It may work for you or not but we are happy. Just copy/paste the name inside the parentheses and it will pop up. Yes, it is on Amazon.

Should be a clean bright light same as cool fluorescent bulb, not like a warm light. There can be a slight violet tint depending on contents of aquarium

Brandon, The 10.uv bulb is more than likely safe for your snake. Zoo Med's web site and personnel have answered any questions I have regarding the use and application of their products. Log on and find out for sure. Good Luck! Stan

This cord size is perfect for lamp cords. This is exactly what I use it for. I have a cat and she has not touched any cord secured by the Critter Cord. I don't know if this will protect a cord from a parrot's beak but for the inexpensive price of buying a cord to try it, would be well worth it for me. Good luck!

It will protect a lamp cord. I don't know about parrots. A dog "could" chew through it, but the odor is a deterrent. If parrots beaks are as sharp as they look, the answer is probably "yes".

Yes. I am using it and had no issues. $7.22 for these bulbs is really cheap, this is what i am seeing currently on my screen. Great price here right now.

B. Pollock, I'm sorry I'm unable to answer this question for you. I'm not sure if you are wanting to add a lamp for your bird. Perhaps an electrical person could better answer your question. I can only say, I check his perch each morning when I let my cockatiel out of his cage and again in the evening when he return's for bed. It's been very consistent in the way it distributes the heat. The end where it's attached to the cage is less warm than the tip. It did take 2-3 weeks before he was willing to try it. I now find him on it fairly frequently and always seems to be on the days when our room is cooler. I've found him on the perch as far as, say 2/3's of the way down the shaft. I was a little concerned of my purchase after having read that it'd burned or could burn a bird's feet. However, I found that a little odd, I can't imagine a bird sitting on something that was burning his/her feet. The perch is a little slippery too. I've been considering wrapping it with a hemp twine or other yarn or something similar. Sorry I couldn't answer your technical questions. I doubt this helps but, good luck on what you're wanting to achieve. Best of luck, Michelle E.

I own this and have been using compact fluorescent bulbs since I bought it. My gecko has no issues with it and the temperature stays where it should in there. You shouldn't have any problems if you don't want to use incandescent. Saved us on the electric bill since the light is running half the time.

Hardware or pet stores. Just verify the watts/amps of the current bulb or check the fixture for the information. I believe it uses white light, which covers the entire spectrum, so those for fish tanks and reptiles enclosures work well.
