I was giving my dog fish oil tablets but she hates them so we cut the end of the tablet and poured the fish oil onto her meat. I was wondering because I have heard that you can give budgies cod liver oil would you also be able to put the fish oil from the human fish oil tablets onto any fresh fruit and veg???

Mix it into their seed if it is pure and hasnt gone rancid ( heat affected ) .

I agree, go for it

how do you know if it has gone rancid, we have 400 of those tablets in a container thingalso how would you know if it was pure

how do you know if it has gone rancid, we have 400 of those tablets in a container thing Has it ever got hot where the pills were stored ? Are they OLD ?

 

also how would you know if it was pure Read the ingredients on the bottle

Don't be scared of big names. They always sound worse than they are.

Basically fish oil contains what is known as omega-3 fatty acids the big long names listed are in that group.

Surfactants are wetting agents.

Yeast will be for Vitamin B.

Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate.

Gluten is protein.

Colours.Well as the name says.

Sweetners. Thats becuase some of the other ingredients are down right awful to taste.

Dairy. Have no idea.

 

If you have had them around for about a week and a bit and they have been in a fairly cool place they will be fine.

 

I personally would not feed my birds fish oil for any length of time. I would rather a plant based omega-3 fatty acid source.

Do you know of any plants that have high omega 3 levels?

An easily obtained source for the birds is Flax or otherwise known as Linseed as seed oil or whole food. It is 6 times richer than fish oils. Other plants are Chia, Kiwifruit, Perilla, Cowberry, Camelina, Portulaca, Black Raspberry in the seed oil. Other plants such as butternuts, walnuts, pecan, hazel in whole foods.

 

Personally I would just stick with the linseed. Budgies do not readily take to it. Provide as a tonic seed along with Niger and Red Pannicum.

Thanks I'll remember that...
