This is a disease with which some parrots are attacked. The best remedy
is to make the birds drink a great deal of boiled milk, or even very fat
broth; for their intestines, which are very much irritated, require
something soothing to protect them from the acrid discharges, which, at
the same time, must be corrected by healing food. Birds in this state
generally do nothing but drink, therefore plenty of boiled milk should
be given them, as it nourishes them, as well as acts medicinally, but
should it appear to turn sour in the stomach it must, at least for some
time, be discontinued.
