Gouldian Health

Ideally there water supply needs to be checked and renewed daily or as required. A great way of keeping the water clean and free of algae is to add a product called aviclense to thier water. It is a liquid which is added to the drinking water which keeps it nice and clean.It is manufactured by a company based in Australia called VetaFarm. Aviclense can be added to water in their pond or rock pools also. Vetafarm produce a large range of bird suppliments and medication also
