TLC-40 Eco for better brooding of exotic birds

All birds of prey and parrots) are blind and helpless when they hatch which means that it is some weeks before they are able to, control their body temperature, move around, and feed themselves. Keeping the young birds in a clean, temperature controlled environment is essential. The temperature can gradually be lowered as they grow and develop down and feathers and the breeder needs to be able to reduce the chamber temperature easily, whilst still maintaining control. It is essential for young birds to become familiar with the presence of people if they are to be tame in adulthood and therefore benefit hugely from being able to see humans from within the chamber; during this early stage in their development.

 The Octagon TLC-40 Eco brooder fulfils all these functions very cost effectively and can also double as a Hospital Cage for sick or injured birds. The Eco provides digital control and read-out of temperature whereas the TLC-40 Advance also shows humidity, includes temperature and power failure alarms and can be further supplemented by Brinsea's optional EX Humidity Pump to provide full control of humidity too. 

Functional Practicality

It is also easy to wipe clean the high gloss finish of the ABS plastic upper cabinet and the fan guard is simply detached to allow access to clean the fan. Even the heater is encased in a metal tube making cleaning easy. The control circuit is housed away from the chamber for reliability. Airflow in the TLC-40 and has been carefully optimized to ensure consistent distribution of heat, so that all chicks are at the same temperature but with the fan maintaining gentle airspeeds so that down and dust are not blown around.
