1. A method of illuminating diurnal avians with artificial light sources, the method comprising:

  • generating a first light having a first spectral content between 380 nm (nanometers) and 780 nm;

    converting the first light to a second light comprising a second spectral content having at least one local maximum in relative intensity at a wavelength within 15 nm of a wavelength at which a predetermined characteristic visual spectral response of the diurnal avian has a local maximum; and

    ,supplying the second spectral content to a substantially enclosed habitat for diurnal avians.
