Healthy Budgie

Boosting your budgie’s immune system is essential. In this article, we’ll not only talk about the different types of herbs that boost budgies’ immune system, but some tips for boosting your budgie’s immune system without herbs. Of course, herbs are essential. We’ll talk about all the herbs that are a must for every budgie owner’s house.

First, we’ll talk about each herb separately, then, the tips.

Ehinacea

Ehinacea is known for its ability to boost people’s immune system. Did you know that ehinacea also boosts budgies’ immune systems? Add a small amount of ehinacea to your budgie’s food in its food cups or let it eat some ehinacea from your hand. That’ll do your budgie good, extend its lifespan, and boost its immune system. There’s no need to worry about your budgie when you have ehinacea by your side. Just throw some in your budgie’s diet and smile.

Astragalus

Astragalus increases the production of antibodies, which are essential for preventing and fighting infections in both people and budgies. Just throw some astragalus in your budgie’s diet or feed it from your hand and its immune system will be boosted. No need to worry. With astragalus by your side, be a budgie lover, give your budgie seeds, and have fun while remembering to add some astragalus to your budgie’s diet, just a small amount will do good, you don’t need a large amount.

Thyme

Thyme is an antimicrobial herb with an aroma. It contains thymol, a compound that can eliminate viruses, bacteria, and fungi from budgies’ bodies. Either fresh or dried thyme is a great addition to any budgie’s diet. Thyme helps their respiratory systems and boosts their immune system. It has many positive effects on your budgie, just make sure to give small amounts as large amounts may be dangerous and harm your budgie instead of boosting its immune system. Of course, we don’t want that to happen, we want our feathered friends to be happy and healthy, so, we must provide small amounts of thyme to our budgies.

If your budgie takes any medicines or vitamins, then, it’s crucial to consult with an avian vet before adding the herbs to your budgie’s diet as some medicines may have harmful effects with herbs when given together.

Tips

Some herbs like chamomile are wonderful for boosting budgies’ immune system. While chamomile is a remedy for diarrhea, it is a tasty herb that calms budgies.

Also, a healthy diet is essential. A healthy budgie diet should contain fruits, vegetables, seeds, and a few other human foods. The healthy diet includes water as water is essential and you must provide a full waterer for your budgie.
