@fartbirb: Jack’s herbal tea is very important to her - but also to me. If she wasn’t such a huge advocate of putting the kettle on, I don’t think I would have been able to get on top of her vitamin deficiency. A couple of years ago at a routine vet visit, Jack’s vet said she likely needed some support with her diet because some deficiencies were becoming visible - and these sometimes take years to build up in parrots. He recommended avipro avian probiotics and liquid calcium and D3 (this one is reserved for parrots who need a calcium boost and should always be checked over with a vet). I add the vitamins to cold water and then add them into warm tea. And Jack’s health improves on every single vet visit. Fresh vegetables are very important to parrots, and of course Jack has her chop - but some parrots are hard to convince when it comes to healthy food and Jack certainly falls into that category. #Parrots #birds #africangreyparrot
