Iodine deficiencies in birds


For thousands of years, traditional healers all over the world looked to the sea for healing remedies. Kelp was one key find. Kelp, is one of the richest sources of micro-nutrition, minerals and trace minerals. Kelp is especially high in Iodine and Potassium. Iodine deficiency is a common problem in Australian birds especially Lady Gouldians. The Australian birds seem to need more iodine than other birds. Deficiencies can result in breathing problems, difficulty in molting, poor breeding and feather condition. Liquid Iodine provides the additional iodine needed by the Gouldians.

Available in: 2oz & 4oz liquid

"WOW! I am SOOO grateful to have found this product! Our Lady Gouldians were going bald. After 2 weeks their color is gorgeous! Maybe it's my imagination but all of our finches seem happier and healthier since I have added the liquid kelp to their water."Kimberly Rountree - Newnan, GA

"...I was given 4 bald Lady Gouldians 02/14/2005. I purchased the Liquid Kelp and DE1 from you 02/16/2005. I have been giving it to them everyday, I lowered the Liquid Kelp dosage after the first 2 weeks but still put a couple of drops in their water with the DE1. What a little Loving Care will do for my birds.. They are getting their head feathers and they are beautiful."
