Safety with birds
While birds are extremely sensitive to oils, therefore it is recommended that you use them with diffuser if you are in the same room as your bird, they can benefit from them.
Stick with 2-3 drops in a water diffuser and monitor your bird for the first 5-10 minutes. Do not put the diffuser right beside the birds habitat. Make sure you diffuse in an open or well ventilated room. As always, use caution when using “hot” oils.
You can apply topically by adding the oils to water and misting your bird. Mix 10-20 drops total to 4 oz of water, shaking well before each use.
Oils can be used internally by adding to water or feed, which is highly effective with chickens and turkeys. Add 1 drop per liter of water or per 5 lbs of feed. This is usually sufficient.
Just make sure to avoid hot oils and make sure you observe your bird. If they act normal then all is well, but if they behave abnormal then they may be sensitive to that particular oil. Birds are very good at letting you know.
