When offered correctly and appropriately, tea can enhance a bird's life by enriching her life experience and introducing additional nutrition. I often recommend various teas to clients. Their use supports many treatment protocols and aid in healing and mental health.” Karen Becker, DVM, NMD "Without question, tea has stood the test of time and has had profound impacts on the health of many animals, including humans! It is no secret that there is little research on avian nutrition but, like most other research, the use of studies on other animals and humans give us an idea as to how the compounds in blended teas work. A list of resources, many of which from peer-reviewed scientific journals, continue to showcase the benefits of teas. This list barely scrapes the surface of what we know but it is certainly a good place to start to show how the many different types of teas are beneficial. We have been using animal teas for many, many years with wonderful results and we hope you decide to try them with your own birds." Dr. Jason Crean
