Apple Cider Vinegar With Mother Powder For Parrots

Apple Cider Vinegar Powder with Mother for All Parrot Species – Convenient & Functional

Did you know apple cider vinegar has been used by aviculturists and zoos for years to support gut health in parrots? Traditionally offered as a liquid in drinking water, it’s known to help maintain balanced gut flora, encourage nutrient absorption, and support the body’s natural defences.

Our apple cider vinegar powder with mother makes this practice simple and mess-free. In a convenient powder form, it’s easy to measure and add to your parrot’s food or water. Made from food-grade apple cider vinegar with mother, it brings all the benefits without the hassle of liquids, and a longer shelf life. Suitable for parrots of all sizes, from macaws and cockatoos to conures, African greys, and budgies.

How to Use ACV for parrots

You can offer ACV powder to your parrots in two easy ways:

1. Food sprinkle method:
   Add a small pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) to chop, seed mixes, or dry blends two to three times per week. It blends easily and has only a mild tang that parrots enjoy. It also has the added benefits of preventing fresh food like parrot chop spoiling too quickly from bacteria, keeping chop fresher for longer. 
2. Water method:
   Dissolve a small pinch into fresh drinking water a couple of times per week. Always change the water daily.

This convenient powder form means no measuring liquids, no spills, and a longer shelf life. It’s an easy way to add gentle digestive support, natural probiotic benefits and encourage nutrient absorption as part of a balanced diet.

Why Use Apple Cider Vinegar for Parrots?

Apple cider vinegar works by gently acidifying the gut, creating an environment that helps keep harmful bacteria and yeast in check while encouraging beneficial flora to thrive. This can improve digestion, support nutrient absorption, and contribute to overall vitality.

You may want to use ACV if you notice signs of digestive imbalance in your parrot, such as:

• Runny or watery droppings
• Sour-smelling droppings or breath
  
• Recurrent mild yeast or bacterial issues

It can also be used preventatively a few times per week to help maintain steady gut health, especially during times of stress, dietary change, or after antibiotic treatment.

Pair with Clay for the Ultimate Gut Powerhouse

For the best results, pair this Apple Cider Vinegar Powder with our Calcium Bentonite Clay. Together, they provide complementary gut support, detoxifying clay plus probiotic-friendly ACV. Add both to your basket and save 10% automatically with our Gut Health Bundle.

A Quick Word of Caution

As with all parrot supplements, this isn’t a substitute for proper veterinary care. If your parrot shows signs of illness, always consult an avian vet first. Introduce new supplements gradually and monitor your bird’s response. Do not use more than twice per week.
