Supplements

Here you will find the basic supplements I use. I believe all pet birds should have some form of a supplement, though daily quantities are not required. As long as you give your birds a variety of foods, the amount of supplements needed will be minimal.  The supplements below are "basic", for breeding birds I use other kinds aside from the ones listed here.

BEE POLLEN: Bee pollen is packed with vitamens and minerals. Feed in a treat cup, mix with eggfood, or sprinkle over soft food, and fresh veggies!

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELL: provides calcium. Feed in a treat cup, alone.

CUTTLE BONE: Easy and inexpensive way to provide much needed calcium to you feathered friends. Provided at all times in all life-stages.

HERB MIX: There are different brands and varieties. Can be mixed with bee pollen and petamine breeding formula or fed alon in a treat cup.

EGG FOOD: This can be purchased at pet stores or bird specialty stores and online. Sometimes aimed as a canary supplement, and called CeDe. This is good when sprinkled over veggies. Also good when a pair is caring for chicks.

SPARKLE: is a water supplement we add to the water bottles. It restricts the growth of bacteria and algae. Though, remember to clean water daily if you use basic water cups. At the most I leave our water for 4 days, though the water bottles keep the birds from defecating in them so the water stays cleaner longer than the 4 day period. Follow Directions on bottle.
