I beleive that Java Sparrow's get the vitamins they need through their captive diet, ie; the basic seed mix, treat seeds, fruit, vegatables and eggfood. For my own piece of mind I like to increase the Java's essential vitamin levels by adding "Omni-vit" to the drinking water.

I use this additive once a week and for one day only.

After much research on vitamins I have found out that they quickly lose their properties when exposed to sunlight. So to prolong the life of the vitamins I tend to give this to the birds in the evening to allow the birds to consume as much as they can before the vitamin content expires.

Do you offer your Java's vitamin supplements???... or do you beleive that a good well balanced captive diet is good enough to maintain good health in your birds. Click Here to let me know your thoughts .
