breeders are wary of fish because it contains small amounts of mercury. Fish that’s high in mercury includes tuna, swordfish and marlin. Fish that contain low levels of mercury include salmon, flounder, trout, haddock and tilapia.
Many birds eat grubs and insects which are also very high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Several parrot and cockatoo species have been documented doing exactly this in the wild. One very successful South African aviculturist supplies live food, like mealworms and crickets to her parrots during the breeding season. Insects may after all form part of a well balanced diet. Wheat Germ Oil is also alleged to increase fertility in birds. It’s high in zinc and selenium and works on the body to dilate both the fallopian tubes and the somniferous tubules. This makes the transport of both egg and sperm easier. It also helps to increase sperm counts, motility, healthy morphology and the number of effective, fertile sperm. Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex), Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis root), False Unicorn Root, Wild Yam, partridge berry (Mitchella repens), life root (Senecio aureus), Senecia Jacobea and Senecio Vulgaris are all natural plants that promote fertility. But before you decide to try an herbal solution you
should first read up on these plants. Empowering yourself with knowledge is extremely important. Bird fertility secrets often take the
form of common sense. Some fertility secrets are so obviously ordinary that bird breeders fail to pay attention to them immediately. For thousands of years a number of herbs have been used to enhance the fertility. I would recommend every bird breeder visits their local health store and see what natural (herbs, seed and plant extracts) products are available to add to your bird’s diet. If health, longevity and fertility is what you want for your flock take the trouble to investigate and try new diets and foods, after all they are what they eat.
