The Brinsea TLC 5 Portable Brooder / Intensive Care Unit
tlc-5 Brooder/Intensive Care Unit
During this period the young birds need to be kept in a clean, temperature controlled environment as free as possible from airborne contaminants such as fungal spores and dust. As they grow and develop down and feathers they can gradually tolerate lower temperatures and the breeder needs to be able to reduce the chamber temperature easily, whilst still maintaining control. Young birds also benefit from being able to see humans from within the chamber; during this early stage in their development it is essential for young birds to become familiar with the presence of people if they are to be tame in adulthood.
The new Octagon TLC-5 brooders fulfil all these functions very cost effectively and can also double as a Hospital Cage or intensive care unit for sick or injured birds. The bird(s) are gently warmed by Brinsea's unique OmnithermTM heating system which evenly radiates heat from almost the entire internal surface of the chamber walls, so avoiding hot or cool spots and the hazards associated with traditional high temperature heaters.
The walls of the TLC-4 and TLC-5 Brooders are slightly warmer than the air temperature within the chamber, not colder like most brooders. Proven proportional band electronic temperature circuitry gives precise control of air temperature over a wide temperature range. The TLC brooders include an independent calibrated digital display of air temperature as standard.
Temperature consistency is further improved by carefully designed fan-assisted airflow. The fan (s) - two in the TLC-5 - gently circulate air within the cabinet through a replaceable two-stage electrostatic filter medium which removes airborne dust and down generated by the bird(s). At the same time a small, controlled amount of fresh air is drawn into the chamber through a second filter system, over the water reservoir and into the chamber.
Advanced incubator heating system - omnitherm (TM)
Warm air at brooding temperature can result in dehydration of the hatchling so the TLC-5 brooders incorporate a water reservoir over which incoming air is drawn to increase humidity within the chamber. The water reservoir is filled from outside the unit and is clear, allowing the user to monitor the water level.
The low weight of the TLC-4 and TLC-5 Brooders and the integral handle make it easy to carry. The feet in the base of the cabinet match recesses in the top so that multiple units can be stacked safely. The unique curved door slides conveniently around the back for easy access to the interior but the lack of edges and smooth internal surface mean that even the most determined bird will not escape.
