Parrot Aviaries

Dr Marshall knew that if his health programmes and health products were successful with the most fragile members of the finch family, the canaries and Gouldians, then they would be extremely useful for breeding parrots and in mixed parrot / finch breeding aviaries.

Dr Marshall used the canary and mutation Gouldian finch to test the effectiveness of his health programmes, because both of these birds are highly susceptible to disease. The canary and finch birds are special in the bird kingdom because their bowel is totally free of all bacteria in the healthy state. This means that when their diet is not perfect and their cage or aviary is not perfectly dry and clean, then they become ill. The Super-health Products promote good health and vitality throughout the entire year, especially during breeding, moulting and with the juveniles.

There are more health problems during the breeding season than at any other time and ultimately your success at breeding depends largely upon the health of your flock. The most common causes of health problems in the aviary are poor nutrition, poor water hygiene and unclean aviary conditions.

The health products ensure that every nutritional and hygiene requirement in your breeding aviary is met. They include Dufoplus, Ioford NF given in the water and Turbobooster, F-vite and Energy supplement given on the food. They provide the correct balance of nutrition needed to produce robust babies and to promote health in the feeding adults, whereas the cleansers (Water Cleanser & Cage Cleaner) keep the germ counts in the water and aviary as low as possible.
