can you get hold of any colloidal silver mate, you put it in the water. I also found the stress mix (forget what you call it) from the birdcare company. I used to keep and show fife canaries and bristich finches and used this in the water when they were off colour and before/after they were going to shows.

Champion cheers I've got some conditioning seed that I'll soak now thanks for all the help

chop some broccoli up for him mate .it works wonders for em when they fluff up . also give em bottled water the fluoride in tap water will get to em and make em very ill after a while .another tip is collect seasonal seeds from grasses etc and boil em up in the bottom of a pair of tights and give em this to drink .especially during the moult .its always worked for us and its been passed down so theres got to be some truth in it , :thumbs:
