Others are rich in minerals, trace elements, and plant-based proteins. As a result of improved circulation, there is a better distribution of nutrients to all parts of the body. Raising general health will remediate the poor conditions of beaks, skin, and feathers.

Clears the crop, improves digestion, increases flora in all companion birds

The herbs in this blend have been chosen to support the digestive system.

The drops can be given to birds to prevent congested crops. These drops are only given if the bird suffers from one of the above conditions, and should then be given twice daily for 7-10 days.

Antibacterial & antiviral herbs for all companion birds suffering from a lingering infection

These drops are given if a bird is visibly sick or if there is an infection. The herbs in this blend have been chosen for their ability to heal respiratory infections; to reduce mucus in the respiratory tract; address nasal discharge; strengthen the airways; improve the immune system, and encourage proper recovery after illness or very poor health.  The bitter herbs in this blend are included to eliminate the parasitic worms that are present during infectious bacterial disease, and which exacerbate breathing problems. The drops should be given in the drinking water daily for 10 days or longer if necessary.

This tonic assists the liver to eliminate heavy metals or toxins. It promotes the rejuvenation of liver cells and generally strengthens the liver. A proper functioning liver will result in a raised metabolism and better digestion. These drops should be used in a regular cleansing program for your companion bird. A regular liver cleanses should be done at least twice a year.

The drops can be given to birds that are going to be relocated, or to birds that are stressed from too much noise, loneliness, birds that foot stomp, or pull out their feathers, for aggressiveness, over-excitedness. None of the herbs are habit-forming. They reduce stress on various levels – emotional exhaustion (anxiety and nervousness, toe-tapping, feather plucking, and other kinds of stressful behaviour), or digestive exhaustion from an insufficient imbalanced diet, muscular/physical exhaustion. These drops can be given twice a day, to begin with, then reduce to once a day until the condition improves. It is quite easy to see the improvement.

Insect control for Seeds, Nest boxes & Cages, and the added benefit of parasite control
‘Herbs for Birds Dust Down’ is a high quality, Certified Organic, Food Grade, diatomaceous earth (DE). It is a totally natural product & absolutely NON-poisonous.

Small amounts of DE can be mixed with your bulk seed to control weevils & moths and their eggs. It does not lose its efficacy and can be used over and over even when fresh seed is placed in the seed container. It causes the desiccation (drying out) of the insect or its eggs. The added benefit of using DE is its ability to eliminate internal parasites – so when your bird takes in a little of this powder that remains on the seed, the DE will be of assistance in reducing parasites in the digestive tract.

Diatomaceous earth is not a food, nor is it a mineral supplement. It is effective for eliminating all types of minute insects that appear in your cages - mites, lice, fleas, ants, flies and their larvae, or any other sucking or crawling insects found on your bird’s skin
& feathers. It can be used in your nest boxes and in nest box material and can be put in a dust bowl for the birds.
Being completely non-toxic, ‘Dust Down’ DE powder should be the product of choice for insect control in aviaries, and the use of highly poisonous, toxic products like Carbadust, Vapona & moth balls, etc, should be discontinued.
