We buy timers, they are reasonably priced.
We also order our full spectrum lighting out of Bird Talk Magazine, they can either be hung from the ceiling, or floor mounts that can be moved whenever there is a need.
There have been reported cases of birds going blind from to much lighting and wrong placement, 2-3 hrs a day is appropriate, the lighting should emit from top to bottom or above the head facing downward.
Some birds such as the Amazon species require direct sun light for good health care.
