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. ========================================================= http://confluence.mickaboo.org/display/MBPublic/Advanced+Bird+Classes * 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.
