I've tried finding your product but can't find it, because "air cleaned pigeon feed" is something they stuck on several of their packages. The important thing is the composition and no corn normally there's a tag stuck in front of the product, you want to make sure it's the 13% protein one (because the ideal composition for a dove mix is protein 14%, fat 4%, fiber <7%). This feed: https://www.amazon.com/Corn-Regular-Pigeon-Mix-13/dp/B07PN798HW For the grit I think it's the same one, sometimes they do different packages/name depending on the platform. The only thing about the all in one is like I mentionned prior, it has stuff that makes it interesting to doves so you need to portion feed it so they won't gorge themselves on it.So basically either you get this, no vitamins needed:- https://foyspetsupplies.com/1763-vl-all-in-one-22-lbs/ Or if you're scared of overfeeding it you get the VL redstone + vitamins sprinkled on top:- GRIT REDSTONE https://globalpigeonsupply.com/products/vl-grit-and-redstone-4lb- AND VITAMINS https://globalpigeonsupply.com/products/vl-colombine-pink-vita-minerals(Note that they say to mix with the seeds, don't, give them separatedly) For the lamp one of the most reliable brand is Arcadia, a friend tested the REPTI HOME one too (which is less expensive) they said it's good, you want to use reliable, approved brands because some untested UVB lights knockoffs brands can be inneffective or even very bad (some have been shown to produce UVC...). Arcadia lasts 6 months to a year (have to find more stuff on that to be sure). It should be on for 6 to 12h daily yes, positionned on top of the cage (like looking straight down), at around 30cm (11 inches) from the highest perch, with a reflective shield. If you get a compact lamp (with a grid) it has to be positionned slightly lower. You should also cover part of the cage so they can escape it if they want, for example by placing a small mat / cloth whatever on one side of the top of the cage. When the doves are free roamed never let them go right under the lamp, it doesn't emit much heat but still can AND the uvb is much too strong when you're right under it. I'm glad to be helpful 😄 It's not super easy to find good infos, I've had the chance to be helped by several people (+ did research myself on top of that). I use the solarmeter 6.5 to measure my UVB lamp power, unfortunately I got it recently so I can't say exactly how long my arcadia bulbs will last for now, but I intend on tracking that for other people in the future
