Hey guys,

Just wondering - do you give your birds any form of iodine supplement?

I put big iodine blocks in my aviaries the birds go mad eating them so they must need iodine

Do you know what the iodine does? Someone said it helps with their throat or something...

I think I know the blocks you are talking about, but I've heard of drops that you can put in their water which gives them iodine.

Any ideas anyone?

After some reading, apparently iodine deficiency causes swelling of the thyroid gland.

I use these people ...very reasonable.
