| A Healthy
diet does better
than shampoos or lotions. We all may suffer
a few digestive problems in the course of our lives. Our pets do as
well. Our integumentary (skin, hair, nails, feathers) systems react
with dietary changes; whether human or animal. Caged birds have skin
and feather problems when nutrition deficiencies become apparent.
Vitamin A, protein (sulfur amino acid, in particular) calcium, zinc and
folic acid deficits can be seen as feathers that are ragged on the
ends. Omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid promotes healthy skin and
feather integrity and maintaining red blood cells in people and
animals. Deficiency in animals and people can manifest as allergic
reactions that no shampoo or lotion will completely treat. Promote a
healthy diet to avoid a sick caged bird. It is good to know that, during molting, healthy oil glands provide a fatty-acid based oil for softer, brighter plumage. For sick caged birds, or caged birds with over plucked feathers, caged bird bath sprays are available. These sprays contain a fatty-acid base, which helps soothe feather picking caged birds. During a caged bird’s daily routine, i.e. playing with toys or interacting with other birds in the cage, they may get cut or scraped. When caged birds do have minor skin cuts, scrapes or skin irritations, there are other caged bird sprays available that contain aloe vera, lanolin and other helpful ingredients to speed the healing process. Still other caged bird sprays help retain moisture and brighten feathers. These generally contain vitamins A,D, and E. Skin and plumage supplements are available that are rich in Omega-6 fatty acids to help promote healthy skin and feathers. A healthy diet will promote healthy skin and feathers; and will certainly work better than any caged bird bath spray or shampoo. Treating health issues from the inside will promote healthy growth on the outside. The integumentary system (skin, hair, nails, feathers) reacts with dietary changes in humans and animals. Caged birds require a healthy diet to support healthy skin and feathers. Omega-6 fatty acid supplementation can improve a caged birds skin and feather problems. |
