A tonic to help keep your birds healthy , mix 2 parts bi-carbonate of soda to 1 part citric acid dry it in a warm oven then add 1 tea spoon of the mix to 1 litre of water and stir.

dose on alternate days.

 

Also you can acidify the birds water by adding 1 gram of citric acid crystals to 1 litre of water and give to the birds every day, this is for controlling megabacteria, the idea is that the bacteria doesnt like to live in the acidified contents of the stomach , give for three weeks.

I have tried this and after having problems with megabacteria, found that within two days the birds had picked up and were getting back to their energetic selves.

thanks for posting, ill sure remember that.
