![]() To further illustrate this concept, consider that humans have three channels that perceive color, while birds (like other species) have four. This evolutionary adaptation is thought to have developed to enable birds to navigate beer and identify mates, food, and danger. Birds’ eyes are tetrachromatic, which means that they can see around 100 million colors (humans can only see 1 million) but only if exposed to the right levels and spectrum of UV-A. In addition to the metabolic benets, it has recently been determined that birds, like other species, can see an entire segment of the UV-A spectrum that is not visible to the human eye. Not only does UV-B light play an important nutritional benet, but it also stimulates the release of healthy hormones that, if not present, have been linked to undesirable medical and behavioral/psychogenic conditions. As with reptiles, the full-spectrum with UV-B is necessary for birds to help synthesize Vitamin D and to activate proper calcium metabolism. However, studies involving a variety of bird species have demonstrated that when compared to their wild counterparts that received natural UV-B exposure there was a noticeable dierence in measurable levels of Vitamin D and ionized calcium (free calcium in its most active form) in their system and they thrived beer. Until recently, it was thought the necessary levels of vitamins and minerals for birds could be provided exclusively through their diets. ![]() Like reptiles, birds depend on concentrated levels of Vitamin D and calcium to thrive. Genetically speaking, birds are not too distantly separated from reptiles. Similarly, in birds, UV-A and UV-B exposure play an integral role in adequate nutritional absorption/metabolism and behavioral health. For humans, it is well known that UV-B is important in low doses to allow for adequate Vitamin D synthesis. UV-B is not a visible wavelength (at least not by most known species), but it does have more energy (280-320 nm) and is generally known as what causes sunburn in humans. UV-A is most easily described as the visible ultraviolet spectrum (visible light between 320-400 nm). ![]() Full-spectrum lighting mimics sunshine by incorporating a variety of wavelengths within the UV spectrum. Most pet birds originate from the tropics, where days are long and natural light is readily available. How does full-spectrum lighting improve a pet bird’s health and well-being? That same principle has been identied as important for proper nutritional development in birds, but it is also tremendously important for their behavioral wellbeing. ![]() Full-spectrum light exposure, with ultraviolet (UV-B) light has been known to be physiologically necessary for proper vitamin and mineral metabolism in mammals, amphibians, reptiles. ![]() Recently, experts in avian science have identied new peculiarities and adaptations that were never considered before for birds in domestic habitats. While many species have been bred as pets for several generations, they have still maintained the same basic needs and behaviors as their ancestors. Birds have evolved both anatomically and physiologically to thrive in their native environments rather than human households. It’s important to understand that birds kept in our homes are vastly dierent than our cat and dog companions. And with the proper equipment you can light up birds’ lives, providing them full-spectrum lighting with UV to support their health and well-being. With their sweet songs, playful personalities and beautiful feathers, birds light up our lives. The right illumination can help your bird thrive and help you see them at their nest By Gregory Costanzo, DVM and Anibal Armendaris, LVT ![]()

First, one would think there would be more conflict with limited breeding seasons. However, there are also logical flaws to this argument. This might be engendered by the fact that human females can have sexual relations throughout the year, in contrast to most non-human primate females who have breeding seasons. ![]() Finally, the sexual competition argument points to the greater conflict among human males as compared to non-human primates. But as already discussed, sharing can be accomplished in other ways. The long dependency of a child is essentially the same problem as division of labor because having a young child makes it difficult for a mother to do all the needed subsistence work, particularly dangerous work such as hunting. Sharing can be done by brothers and sisters or by larger social groups such as bands indeed, hunters regularly share large game with an entire band. However, marriage is far from a necessary solution to the sharing problem. A division of labor by gender is a cultural universal and it is proposed that marriage is a way for females and males to productively share the results of their varied subsistence tasks. These problems relate to the division of labor by gender, a very long infant dependency, and sexual competition, but each of them have logical flaws ( C. There are a variety of theories about what particular problems make marriage adaptive. Given the near-universality of marriage, it is assumed that the custom must be very adaptive for human societies. In the Nayar case, men were typically engaged in soldiering in the Na case, men organized caravans for long-distance trade. And, in both cases, males were frequently absent. In both cases, not only did male and female sexual partners live separately with their maternal families, but they did not have regular economic cooperation nor other regular obligations with their sexual partners. A more recent example is the Mosuo or Na of Yunnan in southwest China. One exception from the past is the Nayar of the 19th century. There are a couple of known exceptions to the claim that marriage is a universal custom. Universality of Marriage The Na of Yunnan are a rare case of a culture that does not have marriage as we know it in most other cultures. As discussed in the sexuality module, homosexual behavior, even if common, often coexists with heterosexual marriage practices. In this module, we concentrate on marriage and family customs involving at least one man and one woman because although homosexual behavior is not rare, same-sex marriage is rare cross-culturally. ![]() And families vary in size and composition from a single-parent unit to very large multi-generation families and households. Indeed, there is tremendous variability in almost every aspect of marriage, from the rules surrounding whom one can and cannot marry, how marriage is arranged, how couples get married, how many people can be married at a time, how long marriages last, and what conditions allow a marriage to be dissolved. ![]() Ember, Ember, and Peregrine 2019).īut, while marriage and families may be virtually universal, this does not mean that marriage and family customs are the same across cultures. Marriage is commonly defined as a socially approved sexual and economic union, presumed to be more or less permanent, and entails rights and obligations between the married couple and any children they might have ( C. Almost all societies also have the custom of marriage, so a marriage partner is usually part of the basic family unit. Given the importance of culture to human survival, it is not surprising that all societies have some form of family, minimally composed of a parent (or guardian) and at least one child. Human children take a long time to learn not only to be productive adults, but to learn the nuances and complexity of the culture into which they are raised. Marriage and Familyįamilies are essential for human development. ![]() |
