    If she is in front of a window, all she is benefitting from is
    light unless the window is open...unless you have a special type of
    window pane, they typically filter out the uv light so your bird
    does not benefit from the sun at all. I had a tiel that did that
    and she wasn't even a breeder, she just liked laying eggs and she
    did it for about 6 months, then just stopped and never did it again.
    Good Luck,
    Kristen
