All natural garlic !

Post by Little Feathers » Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:55 am

Again, a good reminder of natural supplements for your birds. A clove of garlic smashed and put into a gallon of water is good in more ways that one. Garlic is a natural antibiotic and insects including external parasites donot like the smell of garlic. Like vinegar the garlic will also have a positive effect of feathers and the two go hand in hand so dont be afraid to mix them in your water occasionally. Paul

great tip paul, thanks :) do you find that the birds will readily drink the garlic water? is it best to introduce it gradually to them, with other non-garlic water also available to them?
