Bird Cage Lighting Need Not Be So Complicated

Fluorescent lights.

The recent post here on Vit. D led me to more research. It appears most if not all of the Windy City Full Spectrum lights have simple magnetic ballasts, producing visible flicker. This is proven for chickens and assumed for the likely better eyes of psittacines with their mainly flying lifestyle.

A little housekeeping
This week at the Windy City Parrot where the sun never sets empire world headquarters, our two local wi-fi networks decided to freelance.

Why and How the TSA Fondled My Underwear Before Flying on a Big Silver Bird

Let me state unequivocally. Unless there is some sort of geographical – emergency I will never fly commercially again. You can look at my LinkedIn profile and see that I spent my youth repossessing aircraft. I don’t mind flying – it’s the getting there commercially that’s annoying.
