When treating injured birds, or any animals for that matter, you can use exactly the same process and principles as you would when choosing remedies for family members. The main difference is that it’s a rare bird who will melt a pilule under their tongue.
Pilules can be crushed into a fine powder between two spoons or dropped into a small container of water. Filtered, boiled or bottled is best but tap water is fine if its all you have. Stir to disperse the energy through the water and either put a spoonful into the water dish or directly into the birds’ mouth using a clean dropper. Quantity is not important, as long as you get a little in there! This glass of water can continue to be used for further doses and has the added benefit of saving on pilules.
