Turkey  Storyz

Turkey - When our long awaited Bronze Turkeys arrived, we noticed
something was not right with one of the six. He died on the 3rd day.

The other five appeared healthy. They were very curious and had all of the usual character flaws. Very soon I noticed their wing feathers were coming in curled outward and they were not grooming themselves as much as they should. These are all indications of poor health caused by either diet or an absorption problem.

On the 12th day, my son Scott noticed stomach worms in their pen. The next days we wormed them by adding 1 to 2 drops Basic H Classic per bird to their daily water.

In less than a week, their wing feathers were normal. The birds were much more alert, spent a great deal of time grooming and their growth rate increased.

Our other animals have done equally well with the Basic-H Classic worming. Hawky, our pet chicken, is laying again! Thank you, Shaklee.

Bird Weak

- For very weak birds of any size/age that will not/cannot eat:
Mix 1 drop Liqui-Lea in 5-10 drops BestWater (weaker strength for
smaller birds) and give every few hours.

Basic-G® Concentrated Germicide

Picture
Tough on Germs Bacteria, fungi, and viruses can wreak havoc on your family's health and safety. Used as directed, Basic-G tackles over 40 of these pesky microbes, including several animal viruses. That makes it an excellent choice for use in the kitchen, bathroom, or pet area. In addition to being economical - one quart makes up to 64 gallons of disinfectant - it's also EPA registered.

Bird Trauma 

- Once a day I'd dip a knife blade into a Liqui-Lea bottle and mix the liquid that clung to the first two inches of the blade into my canary's water. This helped the bird survive a serious trauma that would have meant certain death to the average bird.

Bird Respiratory Problem

- Franklin, our Amazon Parrot, was a sickly baby. He was to be killed because of his respiratory problem until I rescued him. It meant I had to be so careful about the products I used in my home, not only cleaners but even hair spray. He continually had a clogged nose until I Shakleeized my home.

These non-toxic home care and personal care items made the biggest difference! (The new AirSource air purification system is a great health solution for birds, pets and people. I recommend it to everyone!) I always cleaned his cage with Basic G. I would never use bleach. Bleach is so dangerous with toxic fumes and toxic residue. Even if he was in the top of the cage, I wasn't afraid to spray Basic G in the bottom. We needed to spray his feathers daily to keep him clean. I used a spray unit with water and a couple drops of Basic H Classic. It's a great solution for everything!

I suspected mites when his feet became swollen and began to bleed. I drew a little water in the bathtub, added a little Basic H Classic and let him walk in the tub. By afternoon, the bleeding had stopped and the swelling disappeared.

Bird Storyz

Ostrich Breeder - The first year we raised ostriches, we put bleach in the water to disinfect eggs before incubation. The rate of embryo death was very high. The following year we used 1 cup Basic G per gallon of water to disinfect eggs. Plus, we used only Basic G to clean the incubator and hatcher. 

We were really excited to find the survival rate increased to 72 percent, far greater than the national average. As the chicks hatched, we used Basic G weekly to disinfect the growing pens, and we put Liqui-Lea in their drinking water daily. Shaklee  products surely helped improve the profitability of our breeding business.

Bird & Fumes

- Max and I are animal lovers. We have eleven cats, one dog and thirty birds.

Keeping the house free of animal odors was a battle I was losing. Constant cleaning and deodorizing could not mask that peculiar
animal smell. In the aviary I was forced to use non-ammonia and non-chlorine based cleaners, as the fumes from these products would kill the tiny birds.

The cleaners I used were ineffective and as a result, I developed a lung condition. My
doctor recommended a respirator. I knew the droppings were the problem and didn't think a respirator was the solution.

Finally, I was introduced to Shaklee

Basic G. Instantly, the aviary smelled like fresh air and the birds stopped infecting each other.

Basic G sanitizes and deodorizes at the same time. And, since the effects of Basic G last longer, I don't have to clean as often. Best of all, my lungs are healed!
