What The Bird Care Company lists it for
Official copy describes Daily Essentials 1 as a fully dissolving water supplement for cage and aviary birds—especially collections that eat mainly dry seed and may not take eggfood, soaked seed, or fruit. All birds drink at some point unless they are very unwell, so in-water vitamins can reach the flock when on-food powder would be husked off.
Positioning vs other Daily Essentials: DE1 is the standard water formula. DE2 is concentrated water (about 10× DE1). DE3 is on-food only and includes amino acids. Confirm you want an in-water product before ordering.
How to mix | Manufacturer directions
Add 4 g to 400 ml of drinking water (about 2/3 pint). Stir until dissolved. Put out only as much vitamin water as the birds are likely to drink in a day, and change it daily.
Label first: If your container lists a different rate, follow that container. Manufacturer going-away tip: with Aviclens in the mix, they say you can prepare several days of solution and keep it in the fridge—follow both packs and do not combine with probiotics or medicines unless the labels allow it.
