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.

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.

This is the first time I've used the Brinsea EcoGlow Brooder on chicks. If someone's chicks were burned, I'd say they had the radiant heater is set too low. The top(radiant heater)has different levels (3 if I remember correctly). If the chicks are moving freely about the brooder, you know every is alright. Strange though, if the "EcoGlow" was too hot, the chicks would have avoided the unit.

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.

At night I used a sealed oil heater, and fashioned a sectional canopy of old towels over my cockatoo's cage, which extended just far enough over the heater to catch and hold some of the heat. And I used an indoor/outdoor thermometer, with the transmitter just outside the of the cage where she sat (didn't want my baby trying to eat it) but still under the canopy, and the receiver next to my bed to monitor the situation all night. It worked out great. I eventually got it adjusted to the point where if I was comfortable, so was she.I miss her.

I live in South Dakota, and it's been a brutal winter. My chickens have done very well in this coop. I've seen a little bit of frostbite on some combs, but since I will not use a heat lamp, I'm not sure that would have been prevented no matter what coop I used. Other than the frostbite, my girls are in very good health. I love my SnapLock coop. It was a great investment.

I have two cockatiels in my cage, and they have plenty of room. I think that this cage is too big for one canary. Go smaller.

I have 3 Cockatiels in there.....you know how they say you have to have enough room for them to spread their wings? how big is your amazon? I can email you pictures of my birds inside the cage. it is sturdy, I love that I can roll it to the balcony:)

I don't remember how long it took my two cockatiels to find the food but I don't think very long. Have all other feeder dishes been removed from their cages? I hope they go to the new one, it is a great feeding dish. Good luck. By the way, my two cockatiels are in separate cages, maybe that has something to do with it. Just a guess.

I can't find CRI anywhere on the box or bulb but it does have a scale for light appearance. It is almost at the end of the "cool" side and says 5850 K. I was also trying to figure this out because I need bulbs for some plants. I see that they have another one for plants that are full spectrum. So far, these have worked great for me. I have replaced most of the bulbs in my lamps and it is so much better than the other, cheaper CFLs that I was using. You also can't beat the price since they CAN be used in regular lamps instead of purchasing expensive OTT lites. I do a lot of work that requires me to see colors accurately and these do the trick.

Your kidding, right? I have found the bowls are barely "warm " to the touch. Just came in from letting flock out of their coops. It is 12 degrees and water was still perfect, & kept them hydrated through the night. Mine sets on a short wooden box. Perhaps if you put them on a additional heated surface but that is even hard for me to buy into. They are a blessing to us.

I downsized my cages to this. I think it might work for you. I read that someone keeos their 2 cockatiels in this cage. I wouldn't go larger then you conures

I can't post a link to the user manual that was made by a breeder who thought the manual it came with was a joke (Because you have to create an acct and log in to get to it) but the website is called backyard poultry dot com (all one word, period instead of word "dot"). If you go to it and search the forum for janoel 48, you should find it. You can also go to backyard chickens dot com and do a similar search. Lots more info there, too, and a link was posted to the other website I listed, but again, you have to go to the website and create an acct (it's free) to see the info posted therein. I just went through a few of the better detailed threads and was able to get it to work well enough. Still doesn't beat a broody for success rates, but having the tips will help a lot.

I have a 40 breeder tank for my beared dragon. the spot lamp bulb for fouced heat was a 100 watt an i have try 75 watt bulbs. The heat zone is to high an the basking area is still to low. my lizard would be at temps of 83 degrees. impatction could happen. You could try buying a lamp stan to ajust the bulb over 12 inches above the steel mesh. maybe that might work. how ever theses bulbs will make a slightly little drop in temps on the cool side. this is a good thing by the way an you could get the more correct temp best suited for the reptile. this happens cause the heat is channel or beam wile other UVA bulbs scatter heat an wich up's the tanks cool end by some degrees..

To be honest I don't know. It has been well below -30 degrees here for weeks at a time and the bird bath still worked although the birds were in no mood to bathe then. :) I keep my bird bath close to the house and out of the wind so maybe that helps? Also make sure you have the proper power cord with it. Good luck!!
