Do young birds need antibiotics to stay healthy and prevent illness?

Question

My love birds are nearly 2/3months old and a pair of parrots are 1/2 3months, should I give them oxytetracycline 500mg and how often i can feed this to keep my birds healthy? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

I do not recommend giving them mediations unless they are sick. Giving birds antibiotics to prevent illness can cause vomiting and diarrhea which can be fatal. I recommend keeping the cage clean and proper diet with water. If they become ill you can always take them to a vet for better advice.
