Vitamins for birds
A balanced diet is essential for a healthy and vital bird. However, birds in captivity don't always receive all the nutrients they would find in nature. Therefore, supplemental vitamins are often a valuable addition. Whether you have a parakeet, parrot, canary or zebra finch – at Fidello you'll find suitable vitamin preparations for every species.
Why extra vitamins are important.
Vitamins play a crucial role in the resistance, molting, fertility, and overall well-being of your bird. Birds that spend a lot of time indoors or are picky eaters are particularly at risk of deficiencies. Even during stressful periods, such as after a move, during molting, or when ill, vitamin supplements for birds can support recovery.
For young birds or breeding pairs, vitamins are essential for proper development and fertility. In older birds, they support vitality and reduce the risk of weakening or feather loss.
Application and dosage
Most vitamin supplements for birds can be easily added to their drinking water or food. Pay close attention to the recommended dosage per species, as an excess of certain vitamins can also be harmful. It's best not to switch between different supplements, and choose one product that suits the bird's life stage and purpose. If you prefer natural support, there are also brands that combine vitamins with herbal extracts.
In addition, make sure your bird's basic diet is in order. For this, please see our pages on main food, supplementary food and snacks for birds.
