Re: heat lamps
Heat lamp on the OUTSIDE of the cage.
I have one on top of my cage with a perch directly under. (pix below)
I have a 2nd cage w the lamp on one side of a perch pointed down the length of the perch. This one has pros/cons, the bird can get closer to the light if it want MORE heat, but the first bird will block the radiant heat from the 2nd bird.
