Mineral Energy Liquid Vitamins for Pigeons and Birds: Water-Soluble Multivitamin and Trace Mineral Supplement

Mineral Energy Liquid Vitamins: A Bird Vitamin Supplement for Seed-Fed Birds

Mineral Energy Liquid Vitamins is a water-soluble multivitamin and trace mineral concentrate that helps fill the nutritional gaps common in seed-based diets, and supports birds through high-demand periods like breeding, racing and moult. Made in Australia by Mineral Energy Pty Ltd, it's ideal for racing pigeons, canaries, finches, budgies, parrots and other caged and aviary birds. Added to drinking water or feed, it's an easy way to dose a whole loft or aviary at once.

What's in It?

• Vitamins A, D3 and E
• B-complex: B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, D-pantothenic acid and biotin
• Choline and vitamin K
• Trace minerals: cobalt, zinc, manganese, copper and iron

What Vitamins Do Birds Need?

• Vitamin A: for healthy skin, feathers, eyes and respiratory lining. Seed diets are often low in vitamin A.
• Vitamin D3: helps birds absorb and use calcium for bones and eggshells, especially important for indoor birds that get little sunlight.
• Vitamin E: supports fertility, muscle health and immunity.
• B vitamins: help convert feed into energy, important for racing and breeding birds.
• Vitamin K: supports normal blood clotting.
• Trace minerals: small amounts of zinc, manganese, copper, iron and cobalt support feathers, bones and blood.

When to Use a Bird Multivitamin

• Seed-based diets: to cover vitamins and minerals that seed alone lacks.
• Breeding season: when hens are laying and parents are feeding chicks.
• Moult: when birds are growing a full set of new feathers.
• Racing pigeons: before and after races and during training.
• Recovery: after stress, travel, illness or a change of environment.

Are Liquid Vitamins Good for Birds?

Yes, when they're needed and used at the right dose. Birds fed mainly on seed often benefit, while birds on a good pelleted diet usually already get added vitamins. More isn't better: too much vitamin A or D3 can harm birds, so don't combine several vitamin supplements, and always follow the label dose.

How to Use Liquid Vitamins for Birds

• Shake the bottle well before use.
• Add to drinking water or mix through feed at the dose on the label.
• Many keepers use bird multivitamins once a week for maintenance, and two or three times a week during breeding, racing, moult or recovery. Follow the label for this product.
• Make the treated water the only water source on dosing days so birds drink it.
• Replace treated water every day, as vitamins break down and water with supplements grows bacteria faster.
• Clean drinkers thoroughly between batches.

Storage

Keep the bottle sealed and store it below 30°C, in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, which breaks vitamins down. Keep out of reach of children. For bird treatment only, not for injection.

How often should I give my birds vitamins?

Follow the label. As a general guide, keepers use multivitamins about once a week for maintenance and more often during breeding, racing, moult or recovery.
