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.

This should NOT be used for birds. Birds need very little UVB and lighting for reptiles is too intense. Go with featherbrite, it's the best in my opinion

No this would not work for what you need this is a replica of sun for reptiles. I have owned Cockatiels before and never used any bulbs on them just gave them natural sun light, you might b better off asking a bird specialist sorry i could not b of more help but i will ask around for u.

The base gets quite warm but not hot. The birds should ONLY be exposed to the light for 2 hrs daily or the bird can become hormonal..........The amount of light time is bird species specific

Infrared (ceramic) shouldn't because it doesn't give off any light and theyhave a nocturnal model, but glass designed so you can see pet at night, butshouldn't affect their sleep patterns. Heat generated to 400 degrees, raising ambient temp by 20 degrees depending on size bulb (50 watt is smallest). No closer than 12+ inches and bird should not be able to come into contact with bulb surface. Can stay on 24/7. Bulb model # RS-50, RS-75 and so on up to higher wattages. On Amazon site enter Zoo Med Red Infrared Heat Lamp for more info and check consumer reviews. Best to call Zoo Med @ 888 496 - 6633/8 - 5 Pacific.

Can't help much, Catherine. I bought the rotisserie based on the 40# capacity mentioned in the ad. I have done 25# birds in both the kettle and gas Weber grills with pretty good results. Only the wingtips were fried crispy. Really didn't care about the wingtips. I bought this rotisserie in the hope that I could do a 20-25# stuffed bird for Thanksgiving. I would imagine that care will have to be exercised in balancing the load so as not to ask the motor to do too much, but can't see why this rotisserie would be overly taxed to do a piece that is only 66% of the advertised load.

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.

:Mine did well at +15 but I can't say about that cold. The problem is they are randomly selected from 60 species. You don't know what you will get. I wouldn't risk it.

I cooked a 5 lb hen at 425 for the first hour and finished for the next 45 minutes at 400. Done and tested 180F in the thigh, 'dark meat takes the longest and this is where you test for doneness'. I brined the bird and it was perfectly done and juicy. Don't overcook or your chickens will be dry. Rest it for at least 10 minutes wrapped in foil before slicing to keep the juices from flowing out. Don't pay over the Companies price. Which is just around 200 dollars. Also I have been wanting one of these Cuisinart rotisseries for my daughter. Called the company and they plan on having them back on the market for around Christmas this year.

It says on the back of the box that the rock surface temperature is 100-110degree F and should feel warm to the touch. This one has a Repti Temp Control which allows you the choice of adjusting the rock heaters surface temperature by turning the dial to low, medium, and high. With us being in winter, I currently have ours set between low and medium and it works great. Our chinese water dragons love it! Great product! Definitely worth it to us for our dragons. I would advise against any heat rock that does not have a adjustable repti temp control for it can burn the bellies of your animals. Even with this adjustable one you need to place on the rock a washcloth and let the heat rock heat up to the temperature as they recommend then put a thermometer on it to check the appropriate temperature you need for your specific animal. Always check with a veternarian when in doubt on temperature needed for your animal. Some may guide you against heat rocks all together, but with common sense, reading the instructions and getting the right temperature the repti temp control ones wilth adjustable heat levels are working out great for us. We did alot of research before buying and this was our decision on this one. Good luck to you, hope it works out for you as well for your animals.

Hi... Here is the description I have. I believe that the heater is directly beneath the pan, if not attached directly to it. I hope this helps. Keep the bird bath fresh and clear with a heated pan. Water is a vital resource to birds in the winter. Guaranteed to provide your birds with water down to -20 degrees F. Has a 60 watt thermostatically controlled and insulated heating element enclosed and sealed. Long-lasting Western Red Cedar frame and post. The post is hollow so electric cord is out of sight. Some assembly required. Heavy-duty 14 inch bath pan, 13/8 inch deep. Triangular mounts adjustable for deck or fence. Double cedar frame is 22 inch in diameter. Comes with two anchors (hold-down stakes). Hi... Here is the description I have. I believe that the heater is directly beneath the pan, if not attached directly to it. I hope this helps.

well, not sure, but i can tell you, it ranges in temp (near base is more warm) and kiwi (conure) almost seems too big for it...may be too big for a canary...

We live in Vermont. Temps go down to 0 degrees in winter. This is not well insulated and I would not recommend using in temps below 30 degrees F. Also, as it is plastic-like material, I would not recommend putting a warming light in it. We used this in warm weather for some new (4 week old) chicks. Perch was not useful. Only 3 inches high. Once you put pine shavings in the bottom, perch got lost. Overall, not a useful hen house to use as a primary. It worked fine for getting new chicks ready to join flock though.

I am assuming your cage will be in your home and provided that your home is maintained at 65 degrees or more, it should do alright for you. I would locate the emitter at one end of the tank and an under tank tape at the other end. Then invest in a Zoo-Med 500 thermostat and plug both emitter and tape into it, then you should have no problems maintaining desired temps. I've been using the emitter in a 40 gallon tote converted into a brooder for chicks and I have been able to maintain 95 degrees no problem, even earlier this spring when it was cooler.

I live in a Cincinnat suburb and usually get your weather 12 hours later. I started my 8 week old chickens in the coop in late November with nighttime weather around 23 degrees. They faired very well and didn't have a problem with 15 degrees one week later. The double wall construction works wonders.
