Both UVA and UVB light provides a Parrot with Vitamin D3. They then use it to synthesise calcium through their skin or in the preening gland. Calcium is used in many different ways; to build strong bones and beak, develop strong eggs and more.
Parrots have specialised retinas that allow them to see the UV light that the lamps emit. In the wild they use it to identify mates and search for food. When kept as companion birds it can help to cut down on feather picking and help a Parrot stay mentally healthy. This means that every species of Parrot can take advantage of the benefits UV light brings.
