I haven't heard this before, so I don't know whether it is true, but I doubt it, we don't like putting anything in their water bowls but just water.

 

I see this is your first post, why don't you introduce yourself in the welcome room and tell us a little about yourself and if you have a grey, we would like to hear about it also.

I haven't heard of vinegar helping to boost them and help build up their bodies if that is what you're asking. However, if your Grey has a yeast infection(one of mine did when I got her) you can give them about a half teaspoon of it in with one cup of water to help clear up the yeast infection. Aside from that I've never heard of any other uses for it other than cleaning cages!

I've heard of putting apple cider vinegar in water or food for health benefits. It's in one of the books I have, but I forget which one. However, here are a couple sites that talk about its benefits:

Okay, I just made this post elsewhere, but I will repeat it here.

 

My avian vet highly recommends lacto plus anytime our grey is ill. You put in a tsp. to 1 pint of water and use it as their drinking water for 2 weeks, followed by 1 tsp. to 1 pint of water of organic apple cider vinegar for 2 weeks.

He advises all his avian patients to do this every 3 months, to keep their systems healthy from bacteria.

He will use this method instead of antibiotics as much as possible. It does help a great deal.
