Super information. Did not know this about the protein. May give this a go.... Moving away from the blood picks and and back to the PG13 Whey powder, does anyone have some dose rates or amounts they use for their birds and how they administer it ? I don't do soft food, but mixing with veggies ? Thanks, Stew Link to comment

Are we wasteing money pumping birds with protien if they cannot absorb it all. I was told overdosing with protein is extremely harmful. There are articles on it but I dont have them to hand. Worth investigating as protein levels would be hard to assess I would imagine. Most of us would be operating off trial and error I suspect and perhaps could be endangering the health of our birds if we dont have the correct knowledge at hand. Link to comment
