15.01.2022 NATURALLY FOR BIRDS SUPPLEMENTS. WHY DO WE HAVE THREE? All our nutritional supplements for cagebirds were developed over 9 years by Dr. Sarah Pryke and the Save the Gouldian Fund research team to support their work with several finch species at ANU, Canberra and the research facility of Mike Fidler’s in NSW. But why do we three supplements? PRIMA was formulated as a complete soft food to support a range of research work and its 21 different components helped to mimic the di...versity of nutrients available in a wild diet. The researchers wanted to ensure that diet was optimal while they measured other reproductive and genetic traits. During development PRIMA became known as "Magic Mix" for the dramatic effects it had on reproductive performance of finches. PRIMA is a complete softfood supplement to bring birds into breeding condition and maintain top condition. It is available for Finches, Budgies, Canaries and Small Parrots. PROTEIN BOOST was then developed for experiments where the researchers needed to vary the intake of protein in order to measure differences in performance from protein deficient and protein sufficient diets. Proteins provide the amino acids needed as building blocks for body growth, tissue repair, to maintain health and of course is critical for growing chicks. PROTEIN BOOST provides balanced levels of all essential amino acids through readily assimilated protein sources. Protein Boost - all essential amino acids for rapid growth and development. Available for all species. Finally MICRO-NUTRIENTS was formulated from a diverse range of herbs, other plant ingredients, minerals and vitamins to supply a rich source of carotenes and co-factors which drive many health processes in your birds. Carotenoids support fertility, colour intensity of plumage and overall health of the immune system. MICRO-NUTRIENTS also provides a suite of micro-minerals which are equally important in small quantities for many metabolic and development processes. It simulates the diverse range of minor food items that birds gather in the wild but rarely get in a captive environment. MICRO-NUTRIENTS - for fertility, colour intensity and overall health. The three supplements serve different purposes and can be used alone or in combination to achieve genuine outcomes. How you use the supplements really depends on the type of birds you keep, and what they are doing - ie. juvenile, moulting, building condition in preparation for the breeding season, actively breeding or in an austerity period. They can be introduced to your birds singly or together. To measure the benefits you will gain by using these products you are advised to compare results over a whole breeding cycle to give the products time to work.

07.01.2022 Did you know the generic name of cuttlefish is Sepia? In Australian waters the commonest cuttlefish is Sepia rozella, but the most famous is the Giant Cuttlefish (Sepia apama), found in South Australia. Of course for bird breeders cuttlefish bone is a great source of calcium. But how do you present cuttlefish for your birds? Whole cuttlefish or chunks on the floor is not very hygienic, but our great Sepia holders keep your cuttlebone clean and dry and accessible to one bird at a time. Just $2 each at www.naturallyforbirds.com.au
