Homoeopathy can be used to treat sick or injured birds in the same way it is used for humans. Remedies can be given by crushing pellets and adding them to the bird's water or directly into its mouth. Common remedies for birds include arnica for trauma, aconite for shock, ignatia for grief, symphytum for broken bones, rhus tox for stiffness, dulcamara for chill, arsenicum for changes in weather, and carbo veg and hypericum for wounds. A book on homoeopathic treatment for birds is recommended for bird owners.

1. Homoeopathy for Birds
When treating sick or 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 it's all you have. Stir to disperse the energy through the water and either put
a spoonful into the water dish or directly into the bird's 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.
Arnica: Blunt trauma, bruising, bleeding after an accident or injury.
Aconite: A good first remedy after a shock or emotional trauma. Inflammatory ailments that
come on suddenly.
Ignatia: Grief following loss of a mate or any change or loss especially if associated with lack of
appetite.
Symphytum: After a broken bone this remedy helps promote fracture healing and reduce pain.
Rhus tox: Stiff joints after splinting or a period of immobility.
Dulcamara: Chill from being cold and wet.
Arsenicum: Cold and restless when weather is changeable.
Carbo veg: Collapse; this remedy is commonly called the “corpse reviver”.
Hypericum: Open wounds, slow healing wounds.
Ledum: Deep puncture wounds.
An excellent book for the bird enthusiast is Beryl Chapman’s “Homoeopathic Treatment for
Birds”.
