  What is Herb Salad™ ?

Herb Salad™'s distribution is world-wide. Its value to avian wellness is recognized by respected aviculturists and Holistic avian veterinarians, alike. We regularly donate Herb Salad™ and Hatched!™ Organic eggshell to various nation-wide avian sanctuaries working towards rehabilitation of ill and neglected birds relinquished to their care. We're members of the National Finch and Softbill Society, the American Federation of Aviculture and Birds of Paradise Sanctuary and Rescue. Twin Beaks® Aviary's Herb Salad™ has been featured in the Austrailian publication Birdkeeper, the AFA's Watchbird, Bird Talk Magazine and Parrot Nation- Covering the World of Aviculture.

Twin Beaks® Aviary began developing Herb Salad™ in 1989. We paired our years of birdkeeping expertise with the knowledge of those dedicated to practicing holistic medicine and herbal remedies. Many years of testing and experimentation were used in determining the choice and proportions of our Chosen Herbs™.

Every bird in our care has regular access to Herb Salad™. Breeding success, longevity and low incidence of illness, is testament to its effectiveness. -Cathy DeHaan


Based upon the undomesticated animal's capacity to regulate their own health, Herb Salad™ offers your bird the chance to prevent the illnesses and deficiencies that can compromise their wellbeing. The ability to combat these threats in their earliest stages can be invaluable. Unlike medications, Herb Salad™ is at work before serious problems can arise. It offers your bird the opportunity to choose for themselves the moment remedy is needed, which medicinal herbs are required, and for the appropriate duration.

Containing all parts of the plant- leaves, flowers, roots, seed and bark, Twin Beaks® Aviary Herb Salad™ has 20 different healing herbs, providing vitamins and minerals, and help to repair damaged organs and strengthening immune systems. It improves skin, beak and feather condition, aids digestion, increases fertility and much more. See why

Why Do My Birds Need Herb Salad™?

Herb Salad™ is not only for sick birds. It's also beneficial in maintaining the health of the fit bird, in a safe and natural way. The advantages Herb Salad™ provides the bird receiving medicinal care is in the support it offers sick birds suffering the adverse side effects that medications can produce. It helps stimulate appetite, strengthens the immune system, and encourages good bacteria growth. Sometimes, Herb Salad™ can even furnish the solution re: the ill bird not responding to treatment when it is due to the fact that the drug(s) being administered is not addressing the problem or is only combating part of it. Enabling your bird's ability to self-medicate can be a life-saver©.

Will my bird like Herb Salad™?

Birds instinctively know medicinal plants are a necessary part of their natural diet. Your bird's initial reaction to Herb Salad™ can vary, depending on the individual bird and the circumstances. Most birds immediately try Herb Salad™ and begin consuming it on a regular basis. In some cases, your bird may ignore it until a health matter, e.g. vitamin deficiency, stress, injury, illness, etc. compels him to seek relief. Time may be needed for your bird to *learn* to eat Herb Salad™, especially finicky eaters resistant to new foods. Don't remove it right away if it goes untouched. Keep it dry and clean, and leave it in his cage. It is the rare bird that doesn't eventually discover what makes him feel stronger, healthier and happy.

When do my birds need Herb Salad™?

Herb Salad™ should be available to your bird at all times. The benefit of regular access to the healthy bird is in permitting them the opportunity to address health issues, vitamin deficiencies and illness before the onset of the changed behavior or eating patterns that alert us to a health concern. The merits of early prevention can be crucial for breeding hens and babies, as well as the smaller and more delicate species. Stressed and recovering birds also profit from the constant availability to Herb Salad™ with its many function-specific herbs.

How do I feed Herb Saladtm to my birds?
The fundamental principal behind Herb Salad™, and what it affords your bird over food and water additives, is in the way it gives your bird the power to choice. This is best accomplished by feeding Herb Salad™ in its own container. Desirable, are shallow dishes that allow easy access to the entire supply, rather than just surface contents. A shallower container will also help eliminate waste brought on by digging birds searching for individual herbs. To help acclimate the fussy eater, Herb Salad™ may be added to their seed.  

Should I use Herb Saladtm instead of medications and supplements?
We know that captive birds need additional minerals and vitamins that aren't derived from food intake alone. What to supplement and how often, depends on a number of factors such as the quality of their diet, lighting, exercise, etc. We recommend making no changes to your bird's diet initially, rather monitor your birds for any changes. You may determine over time, that less medicating and supplementing is needed. Watch for improvements such as

  • Nourishing Source of Vitamins and Minerals

  • Increases Fertility and Breeding Results

  • Expels Internal and External Parasites

  • Enhances Beak and Feather Condition

  • Promotes Hearty Immune System

  • Improves Chicks' Survival Rate

  • Relieves Itching and Scratching

  • Higher Energy Levels

  • Stimulates Appetite



  •    

    Twin Beaks® Aviary's practice has been to provide our birds with all the necessary elements in maintaining superior physical and mental wellbeing, while allowing them to choose *what, when and how much* when it concerns their diet. We consider Herb Salad™ essential to our feeding program, but not as an alternative to veterinary care and recommended medications or in substitution of supplementing proper nutrition. Success has depended upon the species of bird, health history and eating habits. We believe however, that whatever your feeding practices are, your bird's diet and welfare will surely be enhanced with the inclusion of Herb Salad™.
