Which birds and which size this bottle suits

Budgies, cockatiels, conures, parrots, macaws, chickens and other poultry are the birds the label names for this extract. Species that fall outside that group are not covered by the manufacturer's suitability statement, so check the species before you buy.

The extract is also sold in a 2 fl oz size, and this page covers the 1 fl oz bottle. It holds 30 ml of liquid, which is the number to compare against the 2 fl oz option if you are deciding between them.

What comes in the pack

• One dropper bottle of liquid extract, 1 fl oz (30 ml).
• The bottle measures 10.2 x 3 x 3 cm (4 x 1.2 x 1.2 in).
• The filled bottle weighs 28 g (1 oz).

How is the extract given to a bird?

The manufacturer states three routes: through the bird's water, through its food, or directly. Which one you use is decided by the label's directions for the species you keep rather than by the bottle itself.

The liquid form is what makes those three routes possible, since the extract is not a tablet or a powder to be measured out. The pack is a dropper bottle, which is the container the manufacturer supplies the 30 ml in.
