Morning Bird Cocci – Care is a formulation for the prevention of coccidian protozoa intestinal infections.

Prolonged warm, wet conditions help coccidian protozoa parasites survive in the aviary and multiply in the bird.

Coccidiosis / Going Light is a common and often fatal disease of finches, especially during the juvenile moult. Finches housed outdoors are more at risk and should receive coccidiosis prevention.
Coccidiosis should be assumed to be present when several juveniles of the same species are found fluffed up on the floor.

Coccidiosis is common in Gouldians especially mutation Gouldians, Green finches, canaries, other British finches, pigeons and poultry.

Coccidiosis impairs the absorption of nutrients from the bowel. The disease lessens breeding opportunities because it weakens feeding parents, preventing them from feeding their young optimally.

Weaning and adolescent finches are vulnerable to coccidiosis because they have not yet developed immunity to this illness. During wet weather fatalities from coccidiosis are more common in young birds and therefore young finches are the first to die during an outbreak.

Symptoms of Coccidiosis Infections:

• Fluffed feathers and inactivity
