The goodness of garlic has a lot to do w/the freshness, or the means of extracting the allicin and/or the means of measuring and administering it.
From what I've read, probably the raw cloves in water would be best, though
I've never done that method myself.

Matt,
Garlic powder gives me gas and indigestion. I put the garlic cloves in the acv and after a few weeks it is pretty strong. I use a teaspoon once a week in the water. Reasoning behind the garlic in the ACV was to kill two birds with one stone. I am lazy

I do not recommend putting both in the water at the same time, better to use separately. You still can "kill two birds" with one stone...so to speak, but every other day.

I got the suggestion from some old racer guys that were racing before I was alive. I use it once a week not EOD. Daily and sometimes EOD is too often for any supplement.

That depends on the strength.

Right I have a bird whose tail feathers are in a awful state and she isn't very strong and doesn't venture outside since she can't fly far. We have had her cheked over by a avian and nothing is wrong with her she just isn't very strong.
Could we give her garlic capsules, just to up her overall?
Are the garlic captules just the ones you would take the onesyou can buy from a chemist?
How do I give them to her?

Yes, it will help. They are soft gel caps and you can buy them at most drug stores, even supermarkets. If the bird doesn't have an upset stomach you can start with one a day, and gradually reduce to once a week.

Gently open the beak and slide the cap over and behind the tongue, then gently push it so it goes inback of throat, allow bird to close beak . The bird will swallow it. It is easier to do if you slick it down with a little olive oil.

I used to take these a while ago since they were supposed to help with concentration, which they did but they were just unecissary so I stopped taking them but have a couple of un-opened pots left if they are still in date I will give these to her.
Cyro51's video on youtube showing how to hand feed a bird is alot of help, i'm sure I know how to give her them now.
When you say gradually reduce what do you mean after 1 week, after two, one every 2 days then one every 3?

If your bird is responding and feeling well, you can reduce to 1 cap every few days, and then one cap a week.

I'm glad it went down easy the first time.
