As Aloe is used in heaps of human things I didn't think it would be harmful. It's whether there are benefits to it. Link to comment

If it's helpful to keep birds in healthy condition I think I'll give it a go. :thankyou:Hi Liv, Our's keep getting new shoots off the sides of plant, I'll take a couple more off and plant them out so I have a good supply going. We'll have to wait and see what results we get. Worth a try. Link to comment

I love natural solutions whenever possible. Link to comment
