The Health Products
DufoPlus
DufoPlus is a potent water soluble multi-vitamin (A, D, E, and B Complex). It is free of any sugars so does not produce the potentially harmful fermentation conditions which occur in the water when sugar based vitamins are used.
Dose: 0.5ml into 200mls of drinking water.
Ioford NF
If you want your aviary to sing with health, the feathers to shine with vitality, the hens to thrive when laying and the young to grow robustly then balance the iodine, iron, calcium and Vitamin D intake.
The Ioford NF is a health and moult stimulant which contains iodine, iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium and vitamin D. I found in healthy flocks that Ioford stimulated activity and noise within the aviary and improved breeding as a result of the improved nutritional balance.
The Iodine in Ioford is an essential trace element beneficial for fertility, feather growth and overall health and vitality, whereas the calcium, vitamin D and magnesium are necessary for bone and feather development, egg quality and overall breeding performance.
Dose: 1ml into 200mls of drinking water.
Turbobooster
The feathers of the bird must last a full year. Without essential oils and fatty acids they will not.
Turbobooster is a high energy, essential and garlic oil blend and vitamin supplement. It promotes rapid growth in the nest and silky, bright coloured feathers. It is often used to improve fertility.
It may take a few days for the birds to accept the new taste of the oil and Turbobooster is best introduced to the aviary birds well before breeding. It is particularly convenient and effective when used on soaked sterile seed or soaked bread. Further details of Turbobooster recipes are found in the exhibition budgerigar section.
Dose: 1mls per 100gm of soaked seed, dry mix or dry seed mix.
F-vite
Grit is a poor source of minerals for your breeding birds.
I have developed F-vite as a combination grit, energy, vitamin and mineral supplement, which is especially beneficial for breeding and moulting birds. It is palatable and the birds actually look for it when feeding young. F-vite completely replaces the need for grit.
F-vite is given mixed in the seed or offered in a water protected small dish available at all times.
Water cleanser
Clean water is the first step of good health in the aviary.
It is a water cleanser with a variety of functions, but its primary use in the well managed aviary is to ensure that the germ count in water and aviary is free of germs.
Cage Cleaner
Clean the cage and aviary once weekly with Cage Cleaner
It is an aviary disinfectant that should be used as part of the normal cleaning process once a week. It is very important to keep the germ count in the cage and water containers as low as possible at all times but especially during the breeding season.
Dilute 20ml to a litre of water then use as a mist spray after cleaning the aviary, allowing to air dry.

How do I know when my bird is sick?

How do I know when my bird is sick? Tail bobbing, sitting "down on the perch" (crouching over its feet), and sitting on the floor of the cage. Sneezing, clicking respiration (cough), brown-stained feathers above the nostrils (runny nose), or breathing difficulty occurs. A change in or loss of voice or song is apparent. Your cockatiel's behavior changes; it becomes sleepy (eyes closing), less active, and withdrawn. There is a change in appetite. Loss of appetite or increase appetite. Your bird drinks more water than normal. Droppings become loose or change in color. The number of droppings decreases. Count the number of droppings daily when changing the cage. Fewer droppings may indicate that your cockatiel is not eating well. Your bird "fluffs up." A long molt and scratching or picking feathers occurs. thanks to pets health Egg Binding If your female cockatiel is sitting at the bottom of her cage with her feathers puffed out, she ...

difference between budgies and parakeets

difference between budgies and parakeets Many people know them as “parakeets,” but their real name is “budgerigar”. The word “budgerigar” comes from the aboriginal people of Australia, the budgie homeland. We like to use “budgie” as a shortened version of “budgerigar”. In English, “budgerigar” or “budgie” is a more accurate name, because “parakeet” actually refers to a large group of small to medium sized parrot species. That’s right, budgies are actually small parrots! Since John Gould brought the first budgerigar back to England in 1840, budgies have become extremely popular pets throughout the globe. You can now find budgie lovers in just about any country you travel to! Budgie names from around the world: English: budgerigar, budgie, parakeet, keet Spanish (Español): periquito Filipino (Tagalog): maikling loro French (français): perruche ondulée Hindi (India): बजरीगर (bajarigar) Chinese: 虎皮鹦鹉 (hÇ” pí yÄ«ngwÇ”) Dutch: grasparkiet German: wellensittich J...

Parrot History: Yesterday & Today

Parrot History: Yesterday & Today About 40 million years ago, during the Eocene Epoch and long before man walked the Earth, the first parrot-type birds lived in the areas we now know as England, Austria and Germany. With no people to draw their likeness or write about their captivating ways, the only way we know that parrots existed is through fossilized remains. Some of the most important pieces of the puzzle were the bones of the foot, identifying the bird as zygodactylous, with the inner two toes facing forward and the two outer toes facing back. This is a characteristic parrots share with only a few other species, such as woodpeckers and cuckoos.  Climate changes likely sent early parrot species flying off to seek hospitable areas, as they are no longer indigenous to Europe. The shifting and separating of continents may have isolated populations and entire species. Parrots are relatively new to Africa and South America, dated as appearing in Africa between 1.5 a...
