Spirulina and Wheatgrass are two separate products. Both are food supplement aquatic vegetables. Spirulina is grown in Hawaii, is high in both vitamins A & E, and has been eaten by humans since ancient times. Wheatgrass is an organic vegetable high in vitamin K |

| Spirulina
Spirulina is an edible freshwater micro algae. The microscopic aquatic vegetable looks like a short piece of stretched screen door spring. It has been eaten by humans since ancient times in Africa and Mexico. The Spanish Conquistadores conquered Mexico partially by denying the native warriors their strength and health. We now know that it is 62% amino acids which are the building blocks of protein. Growth and repair of the body tissue is accelerated. One of the reasons the warriors were so healthy was that Spirulina has 20 times the carotene anti-oxidant of carrots. Just as with humans, a rich source of vitamin A and E gives birds a glow with enhanced color and health. Spirulina, for the warriors, was a rich source of calcium and phosphorus which is needed to assimilate calcium. Calcium is a nutrient deficiency in most birds but African Greys have a particularly difficult problem. In the first Avian experiments, a small amount of Spirulina increased "Fertility" to 96.1%. The calming effect of B-12 is a definite factor. Spirulina is the richest natural source of vitamin B-12. Five different recent scientific studies state that antibody production, T-cell and keller cell functions are greatly improved in Spirulina fed birds. The natural immune system is greatly enhanced. Baby birds fed Spirulina were strengthened against infection by accelerated growth of the cellular immune system. Candida, E.coli and staph infections were avoided. For FERTILITY, GROWTH, REPAIR, ENHANCED IMMUNE SYSTEM, STRESS REDUCTION, COLOR INTENSITY and CALCIUM ASSIMILATION use SPIRULINA. |

| Wheatgrass Unjointed Wheatgrass is planted in the fall and sprouts in the spring. The grain is especially rich in PROTEIN, ENZYMES VITAMINS, FIBER and PHOTOCHEMICALS like CHLOROPHYLL. This organic grown Wheatgrass is especially HIGH in VITAMIN K. This is especially beneficial to FIG PARROTS, CONURES, and other birds more susceptible to blood hemorrhaging. Because of the high fiber content Wheatgrass is especially beneficial to the lower digestive system. Non-digestible complex sugars benefit "good" bacteria in the gut and inhibits "bad" bacteria. |

| Feeding Formulas The process of feeding Wheatgrass and Spirulina are the same. For the best results give both Spirulina and Wheatgrass in the same feeding. The Hand Feeding Formula is one level teaspoon per pint of dry formula. Adult birds need only 1% to 2% of dry weight feed daily. A light dusting on vegetables, soft foods, or add to breads or cornbread mix. Keep in dry and dark storage. |
