Milk thistle

[Roseramble]

Hello,

I have an older lineolated parakeet. He is 8 years old and has started to look increasingly scruffy. This species only lives too about 10. I took him away from his much younger mate this year. He and a 4 month old parakeet however have since bonded. I was thinking about giving him milk thistle and senior nutriberries to see if his feather condition will improve. Is anybody aware that this would negatively effect a young bird. These two are a true bonded pair so separating them is not ideal.

I am interested if anyone posts. I have seen it advertised with Harrison's line up. So I'm just as curious.

I have used milk thistle for my parrots. It didn’t magnificently change anything in my opinion. My parrots vet recommended not using it due to interactions with their prescription meds (my parrots have medical issues).

This is just my personal experience with it.

Sorry voice to text always adds things I don’t want it to, so I have to edit all the time. I should stop being lazy.
