Our B-H-W is a well-ventilated, electrically heated brooder, hospital or weaning cage. The partially enclosed design of this brooder allows a healthy flow of air which stimulates young birds and seems to encourage early weaning. A comfortable temperature of 88° to 90° F is automatically maintained at the rear of the brooder. Recommended for 2-½ week old Cockatiels, lovebird, conure and other just feathered parrot babies. Temperature zones within the B-H-W allow active maturing birds to seek out comfortable areas within the brooder. This encourages independence and natural weaning.

            The B-H-W’s informal design gently accustoms babies to an unheated environment. The heat source is simple and unpretentious, yet ideal for pre-weaning and weaning age babies. Its simplicity makes the B-H-W practical and economical. A therapeutic 25-watt red electric light bulb keeps babies warm. 40 watt or higher wattage bulbs are seldom needed except in extreme conditions. Sometimes higher wattage is required for sick or younger babies. Red bulbs are less stressful, soothing, encourage weaning, stimulate the appetite, and contributes to the psychological and physical well being of growing babies.

Minor adjustments of the brooders interior temperature is uncomplicated and easily accomplished by manually covering or uncovering air vents and openings. Our B-H-W containers are portable but will not maintain heat for an extended period (electricity is needed for heat to be maintained for extended periods). .

 B-H-W's are made of sturdy molded plastic and snap-apart construction. BHW I includes a handle which makes it great for trips to the vet or as a traveling container. These brooders are easy to clean and disinfect. We recommend you order an extra pan and grid as a time saving aide for quick and sanitary cleanup. Removable PVC coated wire grids keep birds above and out of unhealthy droppings and food.

Our B-H-W I  is ideal for a clutch of about 5 to 8 Cockatiels, Quakers, or Love Birds. Larger species do well in the B-H-W II, but I have put Greys and Amazons in the smaller B-H-W I with no problem.
