Claim:
1. A method for inducing a desired response in a bird, wherein said method comprises: providing at least one photon emitter; providing at least one photon emission modulation controller in communication with said at least one photon emitter; communicating a command from said at least one photon emission modulation controller to said at least one photon emitter; providing a photon signal to said bird, wherein said photon signal comprises two or more independent components, wherein said two or more independent components comprise: a first independent component comprising a repetitive first modulated photon pulse group, wherein said first modulated photon pulse group has one or more photon pulse ON durations between 0.01 microseconds and 5000 milliseconds with one or more intensities, has one or more photon pulse OFF durations between 0.1 microseconds and 24 hours, and a wavelength color; and a second independent component comprising a repetitive second modulated photon pulse group, wherein said second modulated photon pulse group has one or more photon pulse ON durations between 0.01 microseconds and 5000 milliseconds with one or more intensities, has one or more second photon pulse OFF durations between is between 0.1 microseconds and 24 hours, and a wavelength color; wherein the first independent component and the second independent component are produced within said signal simultaneously; wherein the second modulated photon pulse group is different from the first modulated photon pulse group; and emitting said signal toward said bird from said at least one photon emitter, wherein the combined effect of first modulated photon pulse group and the second modulated photon pulse group of the signal produces a desired response from said bird; and wherein said desired response from said bird is chosen from ovulation, fertility, egg production or laying, hunger, growth, reduction of stress or calming, improving egg quality, socialization, bird growth, bird development, sexual maturity, improving reproductive quality, facilitation of nutrient uptake, photochemical responses, and regulation of circadian rhythm.
