(u.k only) or makes of a light or heater that you have. i'm not sure if the light might keep the budgies a wake all night, i don't want that. rgds. james. Link to comment

Guest BUUZBEE Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I have in my aviary a solar charged lantern. I bought 2 at home depot for $40 U.S. I change them over each day so they are fully charged for night. It puts off a full moon type glow. As for the heater, I have no clue on that. Good luck with your hunt! Anna Link to comment

I was still looking,solar lantern looks good. How long does one lantern last in hours. thanks. Do your birds sleep okay at night. Edited June 30, 2005 by james2701 Link to comment
Guest BUUZBEE Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi I put it in around 730 at night, and its off by morning. The box says 12 hours, but I would say it lasts until about 430 am. It works for me, the sun is not up yet, but its starting to get light. I figure as long as it is on at around 2 am, it works! Do you have any updates for your aviary? I've only been on this site for about 1 month. So you'll have to keep me posted! Anna Link to comment
