Wiley Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 give any green water to my birds full of iron, my nan used to make me drink it, if its good for me its good for the birds
Guest strapper Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 cabbage is ok for adult birds but it can burn the insides of young,this i learnt when i kept cockatiels yrs a go. but...if you get multi vits from a vet in a liquid form...smell it...smells like cabbage water.
me Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 Cabbage water is excellent for cooking cabbage but personally if you want my advice give it a miss with the doos. if you want you can alwas give them a few leaves they will eat it if they need it
Guest Matador Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 Hi Harky, If you give cabbage water soak some barley in it, drain of then give to the birds. Giving it this way stops the runs, but gives them the iron and other things they will benifit from. Never give to young birds to strong for Gut. Budgie Crathorne
ch pied Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 my auld fella , boiled the chopped up cabbage root , let it stand over night , filled the drinker's with the drawen off water , this was his wormer , i prefer to use ivermec ,
Paul woolliss Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 Have used cabbage water for the last 25 years or so, and carrott water, just poured it straight into the drinker, no problems for me or what i could see anyway, Paul.
OLDYELLOW Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 Have used cabbage water for the last 25 years or so, and carrott water, just poured it straight into the drinker, no problems for me or what i could see anyway, Paul. i juice alot of vegetables and fruits just gives the birds a few natural vitamins never done my birds any harm

OLDYELLOW Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 lettice is one of the enchinea family and is good for birds
Guest IB Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Remember posting on this when Debbie posted on active ingredients in Adenosan? which according to the blurb contained extracts from the brassica family, which contain sulphur compounds (much in same way as garlic) that are antimicrobial. Not sure about how you would prepare cabbage water, always thought boiling any vegetable killed any 'goodness' in it, even for us humans? I have fed pigeons cabbage, kale and spinach leaves. They don't like them as much as lettuce. Think feeding leaves is better.
Roland Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Well in reality I suppose that Thistles is good. Every single part of the thistle is edible, and contains great benefits. Only hear tale of a two fancier that ever used it.
harky Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Posted November 30, 2008 THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR TIME AND VIEWS ON THIS , WELL APPRECIATED AND THANKS
Silverdale Lofts Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Ive boiled many a pan of nettles and given it to the birds on a sunday one tip dont use the wifes best pan
Roland Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Ive boiled many a pan of nettles and given it to the birds on a sunday one tip dont use the wifes best pan Yes I remember your last post as such. I also do this when I get a round TUIT.

They don't like them as much as lettuce. Think feeding leaves is better. Spot on Bruno lad exactly the point I was making earlier in the thread boiling kills most of the vits so if the birds are wanting to get anything from greens feed them a few leaves if they need it they will eat it, trust "me".
jimmy white Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 idont know if boiling the cabbage would maybe diminish any of the iron in this juice, my father used to dig a cabbage up , roots and all ,wash it , sprinkle a little salt on it hang it upside down in the loft , when the birds were feeding youngsters they would eat this, readily
