mally 832 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 can you get hold of any colloidal silver mate, you put it in the water. I also found the stress mix (forget what you call it) from the birdcare company. I used to keep and show fife canaries and bristich finches and used this in the water when they were off colour and before/after they were going to shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,435 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 What you feeding him on mate? Only thing I can suggest is giving him baycox or summat and keeping him somewhere warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy p 32 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Much appreciated gents I'm feeding him Niger,canary mix,greens, and dandelion heads.where would I be able to get the products thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mally 832 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 http://www.birdcareco.com/English/TheBirdCareCompany/index Don't feed too much Niger mate as the buggers will favour that instead of eating the other and they don't get all the nutrients they need. I'd be giving him a little soak seed until he pickes up as well mate, but make sure you keep rinsing it well while it's soaking 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digger. 615 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 you could try giving him a drop and i mean a drop mate of cod liver oil a friend told me to do this to my bullfinch hen wich was the same way and it worked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
