will it keep my birds warm?

no, it's just a light to simulate sunlight. Also, as far as the poor reviews on this lamp, I really like mine. They had an earlier model that wasn't as good, and broke after I had it for three years. This newer design is much better.
1064619
No. It's a light, not a heater. It looks like there are heated perches available. Maybe that would help.....
1064620
No, it does not. There is a separate warmer you can purchase. I just use on my birds for 30 minutes to an hour everyday.

It really did not generate much heat and was rather cheap, pieces broke within a month and I was not rough with it. I would not buy it.

The bulbs do a good job of providing artificial sun light. They do not get to warm.
1064623
yes. the light quite strong. Good for birds that having calcium intake for strong bone

No, this light is a full spectrum light designed to simulate sunlight. It isn't for keeping the birds warm. The light in this fixture is good. It is the design of the lamp that I have a problem with.

If you're looking for a heater, I can highly recommend the Avitech infrared heat panel that goes outside the cage. Good, steady, low level warmth, and no chance of burning their feet as with a heated perch. You can put a cover over the cage and the heater, and it will barely warm up the cover (so no chance of fire); however, it will be nice and toasty inside the cage, and the birds can move in and away from the heat as needed. They're a bit pricey, but you'll save that on your heating bills because you won't have to keep the entire room overheated to keep the birds at a good temp.

No, it will be fine... this play unit is a little small for my African Grey and will also be a little big for a cockateil.

Hello Denise, This heating pad works best if you can place it in a substantial cover that would not let your pet parrot chew through and possibly expose the electrical heating element wires. The heating pad has a very thin plastic cover around it. The pad only heats up to around 100 degrees and does not radiate heat very far into the space. I placed my heating pad under the thick dog bed between the floor and dog bed. My dogs have to lay down and snuggle into the bed to get warm. Perhaps if you bought the large heating pad and wrapped it around the cage on the outside of the cage that might be cozy and relatively safe for your pet parrot. I hope this helped. Good luck.

Yes. The heater has kept the water in our concrete bird bath from freezing. Just remember to keep water in the bird bath. We fill it every other day. The bigger birds splash it out. It attracts birds in central Pennsylvania.

You can keep the light on during the day and evening but be sure to turn off before you cover the bird or retire for the night. I leave ours on from 10 to 12 hours a day and also use a heat lamp during the cold months to help keep them warm as the FeatherBrite does not give off much heat as it's a compact fluorescent with added features for good bird health.

Yes. We have birds and it has helped keep the dust down. We actually own two. We wash the one not in use and let it dry and always have an extra to put in.

We had below zero temperatures a few times last winter. The bird bath around the edges but remained unfrozen in the center. The birds were able to use it all season.

I have used a light weight blanket that fits over the top and down the sides. It is much cheaper to have a custom made cover. A sheet will also be useful for the cage and you can use the color the bird likes.

This would be perfect. Its made very well. My birds love it...good luck with it...

Don't see any reason why not. Just ensure you use warm water; birds have a 6 to 8 degree higher body temperature than humans.

If it were too warm the chicks would come out from under. You can literally lay your hand on the warm side and it will not burn you. I had a thermometer under it for a week. Every time I checked it said 90. I finally took it up because the chicks kept kicking it out. My brooder is up on a table and has a window cut low so we can look under the Ecoglo. Mine sleep under it at night and nip under frequently. They really do use it like a mom.

I currently use a heat lamp in mine and my chicks are doing fine and it has been below zero here. It is a small coop smaller than it appears though but for that reason I think that is why it is warmer .

It has a pretty wide topper on it to keep out rain and snow. We just got ours recently and that has not been an issue yet. The mesh on the sides is small enough that I think it would be difficult for jays or grackles to get their beak in there. We had trouble with crows and another feeder but have not had any issues with this one so far.

I think it would be perfect for your bird. I have a African Grey and he loves it. You can also open the top for more space.

It keeps the water from being icy cold. It's a gentle warm, but not hot. Suitable for birds and mammals.

The unit has a built in thermostat - it comes on when the water temperature drops below 32 and shuts off when it comes up to ~40. It works!!!!! We have had a brutal winter and my birds are very happy!! It must be very low power as it has had no noticable impact on our electric bill . . .
