Vitamin E promotes natural health and vitality Like vitamin C, vitamin E plays a significant role.

 

Vit E is a stress reliever and a antioxidant thereby protecting body tissue from the damage of oxidation & also has a positive effect on the immune function

 

Natural form of Vit E

 

Blackberries Bananas Apples Kiwi

 

.HERBS: Alfalfa, bladder wrack, dandelion, dong quai, flaxseed, nettle, oat straw, raspberry leaf, rose hips.

 

Vitamin E deficiency may occur when rancid oils are fed excessively to the breeding pairs.. The signs of deficiency in budgerigars include twisting of the neck, stiff legs and leg weakness.

Note, when you give berries of any sort make sure they are organic, berries have very thin skins and if they have been sprayed with pesticides can be dangerous for your budgies. Good information.

White muscle disease is a deficiency in Vit E/Selenium. Because Vit E is an antioxidant it is especially required when muscles work. Because many muscles use oxygen to produce their energy they produce free radicals as a by product. Free radicals damage the surrounding tissue and antioxidants remove them from the system. If the animal is deficient in Vit E/ Selenium there are no antioxidants to remove the free radicals, so the free radicals cause damage to the surrounding muscle, which kills it. The lack of blood supply and fibrosis of the dead area causes the affected area to become white.

 

Free radicals are why we age. lol. So the more raw broccoli you eat the slower you will age. :budgiedance:

I think Broccoli has Vit E in it. Oh well it has Vit C, Vit K, Niacin and bioflavanoids so those are already good reasons to eat broccoli!!! lol. Plus it is yummy, especially with a thick cheese sauce.

One thing I remember way back when I was doing some research is that Vitamin E also stimulates the birds into mating.

OOOO I didn't know that one :hap: ...

 

Thanks Elly

It works...I have seen it.

That must be why some breeders swear by wheatgerm oil...........for Vitamin E and also as it improves the "randiness" of the budgies :hap:

Yes if you take a couple drops of it and add to the seed wait a couple days and well .... :hap:....it worked on some cockatiels I knew :hap:

Hmmm Maybe Dave should stop using the Vit E moisturiser on his face

 

I could get sleep :hap:
