Marty, Scarlet Macaw, came to us, weighing 3. 6 pounds. That's one pound over weight and he had fat deposits all over his body.
We put him on aloe detox. Followed the instructions above for one month and healthy diet (few seeds: lots of fruits and veggies, chop) and exercise.
Marty lost one pound of weight, fat deposits, significantly.
After one month, we stopped the aloe detox and kept up with the healthy food and exercise. He continued to do well therefore didn't do another round of aloe detox.
Charlie, red-lored amazon, have overweight and with fatty liver disease. After a diet change and aloe detox, Charlie lost weight, got rid of his fatty liver disease, and now learning to use his wings to fly.
