i don't have any full spectrum lighting for any of my birds. All it is is that it provides the birds with UV ray for Vitamins D which is essential for birds calcium absorbsion. As long as your birds are getting at least half an hour of sun each week, then it's ok. i make sure my birds get sunlight every so often during the week.
