      Avi-culture, the only avian specific probiotic for all birds

This article relates to canary chicks that look fine one day and the next day are found on their deathbed somewhere out of the nest. There are a variety why one experiences results such as these with canaries. The first time one would see this in the bird room, it would be natural to assume that as the hen came off of the nest, a chick stuck under wing and thus came out of the nest with. Or possibly that the nest was not deep enough and the chick in its’ excitement to be fed, crept out of the nest. Hmmm, lots of good reasons as to why these chicks are found cold and dying on the floor of the cage. Why do some chicks seem to look fine one day and regardless of the age of the chick all of a sudden die or as is said, “ gone light”.

  One reads info in e-mails and articles of too much protein in the diet. Another assumption by some would be radiation from a TV. While yet others would attribute problems to we nests.

  Now how exactly does a nest get wet? Does an April shower sprinkle it all over the inside of the nest? No, No, and No!

  If one changes the nest, will the problem still be there? In most case the answer is yes. Why? Because the occupants are still there.

 

      All unweaned parrots & weak birds should be fed with Avi-culture

The inside of the nest gets wet because something unnatural is occurring. The fecal sacs of the chicks break because something is happening in the nest. It all starts, folks from the digestive tracts of the parents! It does not matter what you feed your birds. It does not matter if you buy the finest foods from all over the globe and administer them in the correct proportions set down by so-called experts of nutritional analysis. If the parents are not assimilation all the nutrients from the foods they eat because of the pathogen buildup during the most stressful time of their lives, the results become apparent very quickly as these pathogens continue to develop IN the body of the parents and chicks. The time for procreation and survival of the species is a very stressful time indeed!

  Let’s start from the beginning as I interject some facts here derived from well over 30 years of breeding canaries and quite successfully I might add for you who are new to the keeping of canaries. Check out my Champion Glosters at: www.houseofcrests.com

    

   Avi-culture is a must to prevent PMS ( premature mortality syndrome )

The fact of the matter is that most all the breeds of canaries we see before us today are “ manufactured” breeds derived from the wild canary years and years ago. ( In fact new breeds are  continually outdated!)

  What do I mean by the statements above? Since humans created all these breeds, other factors play into the pairing program other than the natural selection of the species or the survival of the fittest and species. The kindness factor, or sensitivity factor or the moral factor enters the selection process when humans are involved. More on this in a bit though.

  First, did you know that there are five kinds or varieties of canaries in the world today? One kind or variety was and continues to be developed strictly for their singing abilities with very little concern for type or color and they are called the song variety.

  The second kind or variety was and continue to be developed strictly for their color with little concern for type and not at all for song and they are known as the color bred variety.

  The third kind or variety was and continues to be developed strictly for their particular type with little concern for color and not at all for song and they are knows as the type canaries with some even being called canaries of posture.

  The fourth kind or variety are known as the mule an bybrid canaries which are the offstring resulting from crosses between canaries and the various breeds of finches that would mate with them for either their color, their songs, their type or any combination of the afore mentioned factors.

  The fifth kind or variety is composed of any of the above-mentioned kinds or varieties, which are haphazardly bred for the shear pleasure of doing so or whatever such madness may invade the mind of the human. In other words, the fifth kind or variety is what would be considered mutts or mongrels.
