Re: Can a nine year old do a cleanse?

We have a bird(cockatiel). She is crazy for milk and icecream which I balance out now as she was gaining weight in the stomach. Occasionally I see her scratching and feed her garlic on toast, would this be a sign of those worms or is that an old myth? Garlic seems to stop the itching. I just figure they got onto a little too much junk at these times resulting in more worms?

Thanks Everyone for your great ideas,
