Just a note of caution for ekkie owners. Spirulina is a high protein source that may cause food allergies in some ekkies.
so that means not to add it to bird bread? since that is moist?Can I mix your herbs in with my egg food?
We don't advise mixing Herb Salad in with egg food, soak seed or anything moist. Because of the medicinal properties of the herbs, your birds should be able to choose which herb it wants and the quantity it desires to eat.
thanks thats what i thought but wanted to double checkKelli, I think that is what they are saying. I offer it in a separate dish in my birds cages so they can eat it when they want some.
Healthy Bird carries it, they are in CanadaSee I hate this! I get all excited to try something and bam reality LOL! I just checked TB's site and a 1lb bag ($18) shipped to me would cost $31.95 USD!!! Makes me sad...off to see where I can get it local(ish).
Hmm I would say a half pound bag would be about half full of a gallon storage bag? I just use a lexit bird bath as a separate dish in two of my cages and I just put a handful in the dish and let them free feed. I freshen it up every week and add a little bit and mix it up.Could you please help me visualize 1/2 a pound of it?
And how much would I give them at a time?
Ok. Thanks. So with my little guys(budgies, cockatiels, and parrotlet) probably 1 tablespoon per bird would be good for about a week? At least til I see how well they like it.

foghorn my scarlet macaw had a tumor on his tummy area and after giving him the salad as well its went down and now the vet can hardly find the tumor anymore she was amazed and started giving the same salad to her birds and telling others to use it for there birdsI started giving Whitey herb salad about 3 months ago. She had a large fatty tumor on her front. She is fully flighted but could not fly because she was so fat. 3 months later the tumor has noticeably gone down. She is much lighter and she is flying around the room right behind Scooter. I am thrilled!! I contribute it to the salad.
Maybe you could check with her to see if she offers different ways to mail to you. She uses Priority Mail so that is probably why it is more to send to you. One pound of herbs is ALOT, it lasts a long time. Why dont you ask for a sample, she does do that too. She is a really nice lady, I am sure she will do whatever she can to try and help but she is running a business, I dont think she is making her money on shipping.
I just contacted her to see if she can send me a sample. Waiting to hear back from her.
