I put a glug of vinegar in mine, it keeps them clean of lice.

[OLDYELLOW]

water preferably with a kettle of hotboiling water to take the nip off it at the end and a couple of crush cloves of garlic and if you realy want to put anything else in it add a couple of drops of albas oil in help keep there airways clear

[trevor]

vinegar is best helps to clean skin

[THE FIFER]

have a bottle with water and crushed garlic ,keep it standing for a few days and use this in ur bath water, will keep birds klean also good for clearing their nostrils.

[Back garden fancier]

I use TCP, it knocks any lice off and keeps the throat clear. Just a tablespoon in a couple of gallon is fine.
