Oh No-The Power Is Out; What To Do With Your Aviary.

Oh no, the power is out!  Hopefully, it isn’t the middle of summer in St. George, Utah where the sweltering heat often reaches 115 degrees and beyond!  You can only hope in that instance that your freezer is properly stocked with the most vital food—ice cream!  In this case it’s okay to break any diet in a vital effort to save any of that creamy deliciousness from the dreaded dumpster!   One of my favorite childhood memories was when my family was able to benefit from an overturned ice cream truck that had to get rid of boxes of delicious drumsticks, ice cream sandwiches and gallons and gallons of ice cream!  Our freezer was so full of ice cream; naturally we had to eat it up quickly to make room for more!  But, I digress.  A power outage can be stressful for many reasons, but the one thing you can remain calm about is your aviary!  Unlike a fish aquarium, which needs power to support the beautiful life inside, an aviary does not need any power to run.

Wait…if you have one of our aviaries, you may have noticed that we install a light which runs on a timer.  Sounds important; and naturally, it uses power.  If anyone has ever owned a reptile, you would know that a heat lamp is an important survival mechanism for these cold-blooded creatures, but we aren’t talking about lizards!  The light we install in your aviary is purely for aesthetic purposes.  After all, you just spent a large chunk of money to own this beautiful piece of furniture teeming with life inside.  We are just ensuring you are able to witness this life by providing adequate lighting.

So, if your light burns out, or the power shuts down, don’t panic!  At least not in a way where you run madly around the room opening bird aviary doors and screaming “save yourself” to a bunch of panicked birds—because rest assured, they won’t go belly up like a fish!  Instead, eat a bunch of ice cream while watching the continually evolving life inside an aviary—brought to you commercial free, 24/7!
