you really dont need to improve on nature when it comes to parrots.

On the other hand, there are generally NOT flourescent lights found in the forests in South America. My living room is a far cry from such a forest in fact so the improvement we are trying to make is on my home, not on nature. :)
I don't cover his cage ENTIRELY, but I darken it. I personally would certainly prefer that to sleeping under the lights. He also can always come out whenever he wants and sleep on top of the sheet if he prefers. :)
