{"product_id":"morning-bird-herbal-supplements","title":"Morning Bird Herbal \u0026 Mineral Supplements","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree liquid supplements aimed at specific, well-recognised gaps in a captive bird's life. All are given by drop, and all are supplements rather than medicines — none of them treat, cure or prevent disease, and a bird showing symptoms needs a vet rather than a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMilk Thistle \u0026amp; Dandelion — 1 fl oz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn alcohol-free herbal glycerite of organic milk thistle seed and organic dandelion root, traditionally used to \u003cstrong\u003esupport normal liver function\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason it sells is straightforward: a high-fat seed diet is hard on a bird's liver, and fatty liver disease is common in captive Amazons, budgies and cockatiels. Owners of seed-addicted birds often add this while they work on the diet — which is the real fix. The supplement supports; it does not substitute for getting the bird onto a better diet, and it does not treat liver disease. If your bird has been diagnosed with a liver problem, your avian vet should be directing what goes into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosing, twice daily:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 drops in 8 fl oz of water, or 8 drops on 8 oz of soft food, or direct by mouth — 1 drop for a small bird (finch, budgie), 2 for a medium (grey, Amazon), 3 for a large (macaw, cockatoo).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eJoint \u0026amp; Mobility — 1 fl oz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn alcohol-free herbal glycerite formulated for \u003cstrong\u003eolder and less active birds\u003c\/strong\u003e, traditionally used to support joint comfort and normal mobility. Parrots live a long time and a great many of them develop stiffness in later life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: organic extracts of alfalfa leaf, stinging nettle leaf, corn silk, devil's claw root, horsetail stem, fenugreek seed, yucca root and black walnut hulls, in organic vegetable glycerin and distilled water. No alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA bird in pain needs veterinary pain relief.\u003c\/strong\u003e Arthritis in birds is diagnosable and treatable, and a herbal supplement is not a substitute for that. Talk to your avian vet about this alongside a proper assessment — and mention it, because herbs can interact with medication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosing, twice daily:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 drops in 8 fl oz of water, or 8 drops on 8 oz of soft food, or direct by mouth — 1 drop (small), 2 drops (medium), 3 drops (large).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLiquid Iodine — 2 fl oz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single-purpose potassium iodide supplement, 750 mg\/L, for \u003cstrong\u003eiodine-deficient birds\u003c\/strong\u003e — supporting normal thyroid function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one has a genuine and well-established use in aviculture. Seed-only diets are commonly low in iodine, and iodine deficiency is a recognised problem in \u003cstrong\u003ebudgies and Gouldian finches\u003c\/strong\u003e in particular. Morning Bird list the signs it addresses: difficult moults, poor feather condition, inactivity, poor breeding and balding in Gouldian finches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosing:\u003c\/strong\u003e one drop per ounce of clean drinking water, daily, as the bird's only source of drinking water. Safe for young and adult birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bird with laboured breathing needs a vet the same day, not a supplement. Iodine deficiency is one possible cause among many, and the serious ones move quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for human consumption.
