get to bunnings and buy 1 $5 led solar powered light (white light) for each bay or each aviary you have. If you have a big aviary then use more then one. Watch what you pick up sometimes the plain whites are mixed with the party ones. Doesn't seem right at night seeing red green and yellow hues coming out of your aviary.
If you have power to your aviary then look at some simple LED's (also black lights to attract insects) or if your in the southern part you might want to look into lamps that also help heat in winter.
Search this forum there are heaps of topics on lighting.
The choice is yours.

I hope you don't expect your birds to consume the insects attracted to these night light as that would violate the law (Queensland Biosecurity Act 2014).

I have power through out my aviaries and I use those 3 watt fluo's light bulbs.
They are on a timer and come on at dusk and off at dawn. They are quite inexpensive to run and
have really stopped my losses from night fright.
I also run the UV insect attracting lights as well but they are located in specific areas.
The solar lights should also do the job and be an asset
