Birds are healthier, look better, and may behave better if they are exposed to natural or full spectrum light (with ultraviolet light - UVB) on a daily basis. Natural sunlight or full spectrum lighting with UVB is necessary for a bird to synthesize vitamin D, which is essential for the proper regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels in the body.
Given that BirdTricksStore.com is a large international community, all with different living environments, I will recommend that you make sure your bird gets 30 minutes of exposure to direct sunlight each week and as much time outdoors in shaded areas as possible (hopefully with reflective surfaces nearby) without making your bird uncomfortable.
Avoid putting the cage in draughts, direct sunlight or in damp/humid conditions. Only cover the cage at night if the room temperature is likely to fall. The cage should be furnished with perches of different thickness so the lovebirds can exercise their feet.
Unlike humans, wild birds live outdoors. Outdoors means sunlight. Make sure your bird has ample access to sunlight. Do not keep them in a basement with no windows.
