I HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone who has indoor birds! You don't
have to be a Mickaboo adopter to attend. Share with your friends!

at FOLT
To: General mickaboo discussion
This may not have gone through the first time. If you were on the
original CC, you probably got it.
Location: For Other Living Things
1261 South Mary Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94087
Date: Sunday September 12th
Time: 1:30 - 4:30 pm
Please RSVP to me. We would like to have at least 8 people attend.
Also, John is about to order some new fixtures and lights that he has
not been able to get or find in time to have at the previous classes.
We will contact all attendees from the previous classses once we get
those fixtures and lights, to discuss some bulk orders and home visits
to help you evaluate what you might want. The lights include the general
full-spectrum tubes and the black lights for UV-A supplementation.
They do not include the halogen spot lights.

* Avian Lighting *
Birds are the most visually-oriented of all vertebrates and have one of
nature's most sophisticated visual systems. Their vision evolved under
the sun - an environment far different from the modern human home. This
class will cover how and what birds see, what birds use light for, and
how to build an indoor lighting system that simulates the qualities of
sunlight.
Topics Include:
* How and what birds see
* What birds use light for
* Why home lighting is inadequate
* The role of UV in avian vision
* Characteristics of the ideal avian light
* Current options for avian lighting
* Which bulbs to use and which to avoid
There is no charge for this class. However, donations to Mickaboo are
always welcome.
At the class we will have some sample lights.
