Sounds like a bit much to me…when i think of adding garlic to tea it makes me go yuck even though i love both…In my opinion i think garlic should be used alone, i know when i add to much of certain things to myself it will just run through me defeating the purpose…however thanks for passing this along, while i may not agree with this the helpful info passed along on here i know alot of us do find very helpful.
tnx for the helpful info.i’ll try it with my birds.
