MANAGEMENT/
HEALTH.
We tend to breed / manage our birds a little
differently as well. Firstly, we put much more effort into breeding than
showing. Secondly, we rarely use vets preferring to use a Naturopath instead.
And we
tend to run our best cocks ( explained in depth under the subheading breeding).
We are
currently trialling a homeopathic remedy alternative to Amphotericin B, which is
an antifungal agent used for Megabacteria (Avian Gastric Yeast). We have had no
successes in treating birds affected by 'Mega' with Amphotericin B.
We also like to test everything we give the
birds. Many products claim to be good for the bird’s health, but sadly,
testing often proves them to be antagonistic (bad) to the birds system, or the
amount recommended to give by the manufacturer, is far in excess of what is
optimum on the birds metabolism. This is simply, we think, so the buyer uses more &
hence buys more.
