Therefore, it would be ignorant of me to overlook any safe form of medication to prevent and protect my birds from diseases that could potentially kill them.

I personally think any medication that makes budgerigars infertile for a month cannot be any good for them, especially as it is made for racing pigeons!

TRICHO PLUS is made for cage birds i.e. budgerigars, canaries and finches.

With a high safety margin it is impossible to overdose and kill your birds or babies – which to me is a common sense product that does the job ……. SAFELY!

I put it on the soft food and sprinkle on the birds with good results. Give it a try – I like health foods.

It should only be used outside the breeding season as the uptake of water is significantly higher when breeding and should only be used for 5 days.

Medication of any sort should never ever be used on birds that are breeding.

Thanks again Gerald for taking the lead in this great hobby!

Budgerigar.co.uk says: Leif, for Chevi-Col simply search for it using Google – there are many websites selling it. For Tricho Plus, try the Oropharma website at http://www.oropharma.com. They are based in Belgium. The specific page for Tricho Plus is: here.

I was very suprised that somebody as experienced as Daniel would take a chance with his preventative medicine routine. I would like to add there is a superb product on the market which I use to prevent trichomonosis and other related diseases.

The product I use is called Tricho Plus from a company called Oropharma which is a sister company to Versele-Laga.

I have used this product for 5 years now and I have never had a bird with trichomonosis. It is administered at 1 teaspoon to 2 litres of drinking water and this is done over 7 days.

I would like to point out that this product is 100% safe to use whether your birds are breeding or have youngsters in the boxes it is safe to use. I repeat this procedure every 6 months as a preventative.

It usually costs around £25 for a 200g tub, which is a small price to pay to keep a stud of budgerigars disease free. I would endorse this product fully.
