Supplement yes or no..??

[louise22]

What multivitamin supplement do people use and how often do you give it..?? How do I know if my birds are getting too much vitamin..?? My birds are mostly on a seed diet. They get fresh herbs most days...cooked quinoa with peas and corn once a week, sprouts once a week and also have a foraging tray filled with dried flowers, dried fruit/veg, hemp seed and millet. They wont touch any other fruit or vegetables. They also get calcium supplement 2 times a week. They are barraband parakeets

Prime is a good brand. I've had success with it. Just sprinkle it on their food a few times a week, and you should be okay.

Personally, I would not administer vitamins or other supplements unless I was directed to by Salty's CAV. There is such a thing as too much of something.

What I do with my birds is at their yearly check up have blood work done so you can be sure they are getting what they need.

We only provide supplements when our Amazon's Blood tests shows a need a specific need!

How much is too much calcium for a nesting kakariki?

I don't use supplements w my pets because they can't tell me how they feel. It's 99.999% observation. If I am under the weather or distracted I can miss something. I use vets yearly blood tests. If in doubt I can ask for more frequent tests. I prefer that because supplement additives aren't regulated. That concerns me about human and more about pets.

I don't give my budgies any supplements. I would if it was recommended by my vet and if they didn't eat a good, varied diet. I do keep liquid calcium on hand in case a female has an egg laying problem. I'm lucky my budgies aren't fussy eaters and eat dark leafy greens.
