HS-8 - Twin Beaks Herb Salad - 8 oz. (1/2 lb.) Sealed Bag
Herb Salad's 100% Organic ingredients are the leaves,
roots, bark and flowers of the plants that animals in the wild seek as a means
to obtain required nutrients, minerals, vitamins and healing capabilities. It
differs from food and water additives such as vitamins and medications in the
manner that it allows your birds to choose what it is they require and in what
amount, when and if their diet needs supplementing. Herb Salad's 22 medicinal
herbs address common health issues safely and without the dangers that improper
medicating and over supplementing can produce.
Why Do My Birds Need Herb SaladTM? Herb Salad is
not only for sick birds. It's also beneficial in maintaining the health of the
fit bird, in a safe and natural way. The advantages Herb Salad provides the bird
receiving medicinal care is in the support it offers sick birds suffering the
adverse side effects that medications can produce. It helps stimulate appetite,
strengthens the immune system, and encourages good bacteria growth. Sometimes,
Herb Salad can even furnish the solution re: the ill bird not responding to
treatment when it is due to the fact that the drug(s) being administered is not
addressing the problem or is only combating part of it. Enabling your bird's
ability to self-medicate can be a life-saver. Will my bird like Herb SaladTM?
Birds instinctively know medicinal plants are a necessary part of their natural
diet. Your bird's initial reaction to Herb Salad can vary, depending on the
individual bird and the circumstances. The majority of birds immediately try
Herb Salad and begin consuming it on a regular basis. In some cases, your bird
may ignore it until a health matter, e.g. vitamin deficiency, stress, injury,
illness, etc. compels him to seek relief. Time may be needed for your bird to
*learn* to eat Herb Salad, especially finicky eaters resistant to new foods.
Don't remove it right away if it goes untouched. Keep it dry and clean, and
leave it in his cage. It is the rare bird that doesn't eventually discover what
makes him feel stronger, healthier and happy. When do my birds need Herb
SaladTM? Herb Salad should be available to your bird at all times. The benefit
of regular access to the healthy bird is in permitting them the opportunity to
address health issues, vitamin deficiencies and illness before the onset of the
changed behavior or eating patterns that alert us to a health concern. The
merits of early prevention can be crucial for breeding hens and babies, as well
as the smaller and more delicate species. Stressed and recovering birds also
profit from the constant availability to Herb Salad with its many
function-specific herbs. How do I feed Herb SaladTM to my birds? The fundamental
principal behind Herb Salad, and what it affords your bird over food and water
additives, is in the way it gives your bird the power to choice. This is best
accomplished by feeding Herb Salad in its own container. Desirable, are shallow
dishes that allow easy access to the entire supply, rather than just surface
contents. A shallower container will also help eliminate waste brought on by
digging birds searching for individual herbs. To help acclimate the fussy eater,
Herb Salad may be added to their seed. We do not recommend adding it to soft or
cooked diets. Should I use Herb SaladTM instead of medications and supplements?
We know that captive birds need additional minerals and vitamins that aren't
derived from food intake alone. What to supplement and how often, depends on a
number of factors such as the quality of their diet, lighting, exercise, etc. We
recommend making no changes to your bird's diet initially, rather monitor your
birds for any changes. You may determine over time, that less medicating and
supplementing is needed. Watch for improvements such as Improved beak and
feather condition Less itching and scratching Decreased illness Increased
appetites Increased breeding activity Better survival rate of chicks Higher
energy levels A happier bird! Twin Beaks Aviary's practice has been to provide
our birds with all the necessary elements in maintaining superior physical and
mental wellbeing, while allowing them to choose *what, when and how much* when
it concerns their diet. We consider Herb Salad essential to our feeding program,
but not as an alternative to veterinary care and recommended medications or in
substitution of supplementing proper nutrition with vitamins. Success has
depended upon the species of bird, health history and eating habits. We believe
however, that whatever your feeding practices are, your bird's diet and welfare
will surely be enhanced with the inclusion of Herb Salad. Milk thistle liver
