    Smile What foods are good for birds with past liver issues?

    I am adopting two conures and because of past care they had liver issues. Although they are healthy now I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for foods/supplements that are good to support the liver function. The rescue has given me several ideas but I wondered if anyone here had any suggestions or things that they use for their birds.

    Re: What foods are good for birds with past liver issues?

    I know lots of people give birds with liver problems Milk thistle seeds. I think just a few of them is all they need a day to keep there liver in shape.

    If you havent already found the Avian Web site I recommend it highly, it is one of the best out there for birds. Here is a great article off of it, http://www.avianweb.com/liverdisease.html

    Herb salad has dried herbs (milk thistle) etc in it, some of which are good for liver problems. And since it's dried greens, a lot of birds will pick on it willingly.

    Milk Thistle was also recommended by the rescue as good for them. I am going to check our health food store to see if they have some.
