Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Avian Lighting Class THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 6 in
Hayward
To: General mickaboo discussion
I sent a reminder to everyone who RSVP'd for the class.
For anyone else who has not yet committed, John is giving
the Avian (Vision) and Lighting Class this Sunday.
You have no idea what a difference proper lighting can make
to a bird's happiness, behavior, appetite, and what it can
do to help minimize phobia's, egg-laying, aggression, etc.
We will have sample lights and fixtures, we can also sell
extra 4-foot bulbs (you need to get the fixtures).
We will bring handouts, class outlines, and links to where
to buy everything you need.
We can car pool from Berkeley with one more person (Julie
Schroeder is taking up one space).
Please read the information in the link about parking.

=========================================================================
* 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 that of 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
* How lighting can affect behavior, diet, screaming, phobias, and sleep
cycles
* 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.
We will have sample lights and fixtures, and some bulbs to purchase at the
class.
