HEALTH

FOLLOW UP on budgie hen. She laid an egg about 3 hours after I posted about her. She laid another one the next day. She seems to be done and is about back to normal. She is a much loved pet and gets lots of fly time out of her cage. I raised her from a 2 week old chick and at weaning time I introduced her to spray millet and finch seed mix. She picked out eating the Japanese millet and that is the food she ate for a long time. She finally decided that canary seed is good too, along with dried birds greens. (veggies and alfalfa, celery leaves, spinach, and some dried fruits.) I was real happy she finally started to eat the birdie greens. She will not eat white millet like most budgies eat. Anyway, she seems okay except for some sinus trouble and she sneezes a lot. She also has a tremble to her wings when she is resting. I think it is a vitamin A problem so I got her the DufoPlus and Ioford. Will this correct the trouble? I know that the sinus and sneezing is Vitamin A, but is the tremble in the wings part of it too? How long will it take for the DufoPlus and Ioford take to correct the Vitamin A trouble? Are these enough to make her healthy and keep her that way as far as diet goes? I want her to live a long happy life! Thanks
