Lethargy

A lack of energy suggests that your bird is unwell. It will be caused by digestive malfunction (inability to digest and absorb nutrients properly) or simply a lack of key nutrients in the diet. The B group vitamins are the ones most responsible for your birds ability to turn fats, starches and sugar in movement, noise and body heat. An inadequacy in any one of these vitamins breaks the chain of energy metabolism and causes lethargy.

Lethargy can also be caused by calcium deficiency as nerve and muscle function is impaired.

Regular supplementation with Daily Essentials3 and Calcivet will have birds fighting fit and energetic. Sick birds will benefit from the short term addition of Guardian Angel and Flourish to boost both the digestive and immune systems and provide easily absorbable energy and vitamins.
