I can't get mine to eat garlic either, Marianne, but what about sprinkling some dry stuff over their fresh food? Like you did with the seaweed? It may work. Doesn't GA have probiotics in it? Good idea Hezz. I'll see about getting some garlic powder later I think you might be right about the GA having probiotics in it. I have a tiny bit left, have added a pinch to his camomile and thyme infusion!

Good luck! Get your next order of GA in quick, (I'm jealous!) Blueboy needs it. The probiotics in GA was one of the reasons I tried so hard to get some into Aus, but one very nice supplier got back and said they had had NO success shipping to us - particularly pet suppliments, especially powders - snookered on both fronts. So he is drinking the herbal mull?

So he is drinking the herbal mull? Yes he comes down to his bowl 3 times a day at least and has a nip of it and then flies off.

It's really strange, he doesn't seem to drink from the water bottles, only his glass dish, it's right next to my Computer table, so I always notice when he drinks

Can only be doing him good. Wish Blue felt the same way about his milkthistle seeds.

Are you guys referring to something like this? I wonder will it work in 18x9 feet room?

That way it will not be possible for me. I was just thinking to treat all the birds at the same time.

I think Barrie mentioned somewhere to use diluted F10 in a fogger in the bird rooms every now and then.
