Pure aloe juice can't be taken from any aloe plant. The only thing a
plant contains is aloe gel. The only way to get aloe juice is to
purchase it. All aloe juice is pure because of it's primary use.
It's for people who have digestive and intestional problems. Doctors
have been recommending it to their patients for years. There is no
advertising concerning the use of the juice on birds. Info about the
benefits to birds was accidently discovered. The product isn't
advertised in any bird books because it's not a bird product. Use of
this product on birds was circulated by word of mouth over a long
period of time. It's still not talked about in bird books.
