where in the world is that aloe vera!!!?

[TinyTimneh]

all right, well, i'm gonna need some help from my fellow canucks if there's any!

 

owning a plucker i desperately want to track down some aloe vera juice (the gel is EVERYWHERE lol, but never the JUICE).

 

does anybody know where i can track down some aloe vera juice in this big ol' ice cube of a country lol?

[Dave007]

Pharmacies like Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, health food stores, stores that sell organic products , large Dept stores like Walmart. Most of these places will order it for you if they don't sell it. Start your search at Walmart. If one Walmart sells it, then all others will have access to the product.

 

It can be purchased online but it'll cost much more than purchased directly from a store

[Guest briansmum]

while we're on it.. i can't find any in UK either. loads of gel and soapy things but no juice LOL

[Makena]

We found it at Walmart (we are in Hawaii).

 

It was in a very strange section though... it was where all the anti-smoking patches/gums were, by the pharmacy. I just happened to walk by and see it.

 

Good luck in your search!

Hello TinyTimneh I.m in Ontario and you can purchase a spray bottle at Petsmart or you can pick up a spray bottle of AVI bird soother spray 8 oz. from a vet(blue bottle, black lid)or go to www.exoticdvm.com and order it. Hope this helps.

Look in the same types of stores as the ones above. I know a couple of people in the UK that've purchased it in the past.

[judygram]

I got mine at Walmart in Virginia and I have used it to spray bath Josey, she didn't much care for it but I did it just the same.

[Guest briansmum]

i've looked in my supermarket ASDA which is owned by walmart believe it or not, and there was lots of aloe gel and related products but no juice

Hi TinyTimneh ,

 

You should try a local Health/Vitamin stores. That was the only place I could find Aloe Juice. It was at a store simply named "The Vitamin Store".

 

Walmart nor any of the drugs store chains such as walgreens or rite-aid had it here.

 

If all else fails, order it online. :-)

[nevjoe]

Has the Aloe Juice working, and do you see a difference since using it?

In the Health & Nutrition section there's extensive information about 100% ALOE VERA JUICE.

 

Many people here use it with good results

[birdgranna]

Canuck to the rescue! I could not find aloe vera juice either but I did find "AVI RAIN" at the vets. It is a natural bird bath spray. their web site is www.exoticdvm.com. My greys hate to be misted but too bad as they are prone to be very dusty.

[TinyTimneh]

thanks guys, i suppose the hunt continues. i'll be dropping by the local pet store monday (baby bird hunting YAYY!) so i'll hunt around and see what they've got and then head off to walmart and see.

 

now the grey is ok with being misted by that's alot of water to spray and my hands cramps alot and water goes everywhere. any tips for getting him to bathe in a large dish etc.?

[birdgranna]

With the AVI RAIN you don't need to spray on much. I hold them on one hand and hang on to their toes and spray with the other.

They will occasionally bathe in a aquare plastic dish pan 1/4 full. I float a ball in it and sometimes they get bobbing and then get right in!

I was able to find aloe vera juice at our Walmart, it was on the shelf with the laxatives. I'm not pushing brands, but the only brand they carry is Fruit of the Earth and it is not 100% aloe, it is 99.8%. We named our TAG, Rosie, but "Dusty" would have suited her better!

[sandra902]

so do you guys water down the aloe vera juice or use it straight?

 

i have seen the AV juice at sam's club.

 

suppose you only found the gel you could mix it with sterile water to make your mist?

[Dave007]

Buy the juice at Sam's Club--the store owns Walmart Corp so it should be inexpensive. Use it full strength. It's harmless if accidently ingested.

 

When using Aloe gel, don't water it down. Use it as you would a salve. Watering it down makes it useless. You want the gel to softly and slowly penetrate the skin or irritation. It's harmless to the bird if accidently ingested.<br><br>Post edited by: MrSpock, at: 2007/11/21 21:49

[sandra902]

thank you dave that is exactly the information i need! although merlin will more than likely strenuously object, but hey on the optimistic side he might surprise me and actually like it?

 

now that i understand the materials, i shall have to reflect upon technique. hmmm merl adores big daddy maybe he should be the one to spray him down...

[Tari]

I got some a month or so back. Could not find any local so had to order mine. I found the best price on ebay.

Good luck

[Debbiesgirls]

Hi There,

 

I found my 100% Aloe Juice at the Health Food Store here in Calgary. I bought "George's" brand, and from what I hear it is available at many health stores.

 

I'm not sure whether to water it down though. My vet said 15ml of Aloe to 500ml of water. This sounds like such a small amount though.

 

Debbie

[Acappella]

Hi. Fellow Canuck here. I'm in Ontario and found 100% AV juice in the local health food store yesterday. Also 100% organic. Brand name is Lily of the Desert from a company in Texas. Dorian's first Aloe spritzing is planned for tomorrow after breakfast. Wish me luck!

[judygram]

Debbie we use it full strength, we don't mix any water in with it.

 

Why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little about you and if you have a grey.
