what wiring do i need

[hawthorns]

hi i have an bird avery at the bottom of my garden and i want to install a light in it, it will be on a timer which will be plugged into a socket in the kitchen what type of wiring do you recommend for the job cheers

What are you wanting to light? The birds aren't afraid of the dark.
Providing electricity externally is expensive and has a lot of regulations attached.
If it's just a bit of light now and again google solar lighting and you'll get lights powered for free, and no hassle.

Edit: I get do p155ed off sometimes.
Did you never hear of google? I searched there and got a hundred ready made products like this http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Solar_Powered_Lighting_Kit.html

Can you cope (coop) now?

I would recommend, respectfully, you get an electrician to look it over and install a hard wired system, rather than just plug it in.

Particular attention should be paid to armoured cable, weather proofing, RCD protection and more.

Probably for use in the daytime, so the birds get the correct exposure to UV light etc.

Not a DIY job.

Surely the best answer would be not to lock the birds up in the first place, then they wouldn't need to have their UV topped up?

Or am I missing something?

thats correct Flameport as i have purchased an Arcadia bird lamp as ive just got into breeding budgies and when the days are dull and in the winter months they need the uv light from the bulb to substitute the suns rays for to keep them healthy

Don't mind him, he's not likely to help you, just try and impress his opinion on you. It's like a one-man religion.

Sorry - I thought it was fairly clear.

Flameport thought that the light was probably for use in the daytime, so the birds get the correct exposure to UV light etc.

To which my response was that surely the best answer would be not to lock the birds up in the first place, then they wouldn't need to have their UV topped up?

Is that really so hard to understand?

Since you disagree with my opinion, I'd be interested in your opinion of what constitutes a sound and moral argument in favour of caging animals for personal amusement/entertainment/interest.

I'm sorry that you find the idea of morality, and real life, and concerns about real imprisonment of real animals something to be mocked.

It does not say much good about you.

Perhaps if someone posted asking for how to install and wire up a pinhole camera in his bathroom so that he could secretly film his sister's young children when they came to stay you'd advise him, would you, on the grounds that real life is off topic?

I wish this ti t would lighten up a bit.

What an utterly ridiculous suggestion!

It does make me wonder what darkness exists in the mind of a person if (s)he is prepared try to taint a persons opinion with suggestions of peadophilia, disgraceful!

Sheddy (won't be, but) should be ashamed of himself!!
