Hahaha it is suppose to make kids hypo , never affected my daughter but my boys would bounce of the walls if they drank too much .
Just had a glass of it myself Ill let you know if I feel like going for a jog later

Just enough to colour it , Ive been trying it on some of my birds since the post went up , little scarlet that was doing funky poos has improved and the others dont seem to be bouncing of the walls yet ...Quarrions are loving it ( they all have both the cordial and plain drinking water ).
I thought ants woulds be an issue but none as yet .
No one has turned red yet either .
That article with the research results was in a budgie forum .
Cant really tell if it reduces slime in the water coz I change the water daily anyway.

I found a recommended dosage rate in a finch keepers recipe book of:
10ml Raspberry Juice
100ml Water

The Ratio should not be weaker than 10 to 1 and no stronger than 5 to 1.
Use cordial or other preparation that has at least 25% Raspberry Juice in it's ingredients.
