Moulting and Feather Up

Post by the.puppeteer » Fri Aug 15, 2008 9:49 am

My mom and I were wondering...

Is it ok for non-moulting birds to receive Feather Up?

Or should all moulting birds be placed together and those that are finished removed to a separate cage?

Too many vitamins/minerals when not needed?

Thanks for any input!

I have a mixed aviary of birds with about 6 gouldians in it. When I administer it, I just give it to all the birds. I usually sprinkle it on soaked bread or wet foods and they eat it. I don't think it would hurt those that are not molting.
