Bird Supplements

[tumorhead]

Hello all. I was wondering what experience you guys have had with bird supplements. Have you noticed any clear advantages to using any? Things like all this stuff, especially in relation to non-breeding, non-recovery situations.

Thanks in advance! Here's a recent photo of my dudes [link]

I add sunshine factor to my macaws food. My vet suggested it since my bird refuse pellets and we done many multiple attempts to switch them over with no success. I have noticed they seem less itchy in a molt and are nice and shiny. This was a macaw specific thing. I don't supplement them with other thing unless the vet suggests it.

On the recommendation of my vet I use Sunshine Factor palm fruit oil for fatty acids and AviBios a probiotic. Many people here use probiotics occasionally, but I was recommended I put it in her veggie mix daily after she had two infections in a year. I also include the Natural Gold supplement for birds when I make her veggie mix on the recommendation of her breeder (the woman swears that's why Kappa's feathers are so amazing that my vet was continually commenting on it), and I'm not sure where I got the idea but I also include a bit of spirulina when I make her veggie mix as a protein source
