Resource share(Canadian) - herbals/florals

[NEVRM0RE_]

Hiiii!!! I spent this week going down the rabbit hole of avian nutrition and I found SO MANY exciting companies and products online but...womp womp no Canadian shipping OR too pricy for me to justify. Anyhow I found this website

The Apothecary in Inglewood - Bulk Refillery

the-apothecary.ca

They have loose dried herbs, some sprouting mixes, loose seeds (that can likely also be sprouted), loose dried flowers like rosebuds, red clover, hibiscus anyway you get the drift. Herbs are priced per 10g. I honestly have no idea what that means lol but the prices seemed reasonable? I put my first order in. I will let you know how it goes!!

I’ve considered placing an order there before, so I’m looking forward to seeing how yours goes!
I ended up ordering from Things for Wings/Avian Organics because I wanted to get a few herbs on their own as well as some mashes and freeze-dried goods. I didn’t know what the amount would look like, so I ordered two 50g bags of calendula, chamomile, and dandelion leaf each, and it was a lot more than I thought/needed. 10g-20g might be a smart amount to start out with for herbs in case you find out they don't like something.

Thank you!!! I had to google what g meant (math was never my thing lol) and when it said grams I was like.... maybe I should call my brother? Something tells me he has a knack for this unit of measurement lol

I even have a kitchen scale I use to weigh my birds in grams, so I probably should have known or at least tried weighing something similar to get an idea haha
This is what an unopened 50g bag of calendula looks like in case you’re curious.

I can't believe I forgot to update this!!! My learning experience of 10g was....great.. as it happens, different herbals have different..density? Weights? Whatever. Some 10gs were decent, some were womp womp. I think I will try some other vendors so I can compare because the products were good.
