Morning Bird Mood Food (Avian Calming Formula) 3 Oz – Natural Calming Supplement for Birds – Reduces Stress, Feather Plucking & Aggression – Stress Relief Supports with B-Vitamins for Daily Calm

So first off you do need to put a good amount on your birds food. I sprinkle it on her fresh seed mix then mix it up just enough to cover the first few layers of her seed. This helps to make sure she is ingesting the product. I wouldn’t say it makes a big difference during hormonal season but if you have a bird who is always aggressive or trying to tame this product helps. My birds general mood has improved and is more calm. My maroon bellied conure is five and I’m her third owner. I truly believe this product has a made a difference in the bonding process and she didn’t like me when I first brought her home. I truly believe in this product. By just making sure I mix it in enough to cover the first few layers of bird seed has made the jar last longer. I tried putting it on her blueberries but that didn’t work and she refused to eat them so it’s just best to sneak it their food. The jar isn’t filled to the top which was disappointing. I’m still on my first jar and it’s been almost 2 months since I purchased. It will not work right away it needs to build up in your birds system and be maintained. Hope this helps.

Sometimes these things can be hit or miss. It was successful for me. I change his water every day and mix it in, and I saw results after a week. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU, don't throw it out just yet!It isn't always enough to do just one thing to soothe behavioral/hormonal problems. For my parrot, it helped tremendously that I have a night time cage for him in a quieter room (he was staying up and regurgitating for his toys instead of sleeping). Mine needs 12 hours of sleep minimum or he'll get grumpy. Also, more vegetables in their diet is very important!! If they won't eat vegetables directly, you can bake them into birdie bread, make smoothies, or feed them baby food (remember, NO AVOCADO!! And no onion, eggplant, or mushrooms either :) ) There are a few parrot food products you can buy that have veggies too.As a final note, chamomile tea can also have similar soothing results as this product.

Updating My Previous Review cuz the item came in a broken container torn apart on the bottom, with contents spilled out inside packaging envelope, so unusable... it was a mess. But the seller made it right & resent a new one ASAP which arrived in 2-3 days.As far as the product:Pros: So glad other bird companies decided to fill the hole AviTech left behind for so many of us. It works very much the same & last about the same. We sometimes brew a cup of chamomile tea & add this in for super hormonal days. It can be sprinkled on food. Doesn’t mix well in water but is possible (just mix it extra good or it sinks to bottom) & versatile.Versatile to useDoesn’t require much, just adding it to food or water (try doing so in am for a better day)The only Product Con: Unlike Avitech’s version of L-Theanine Calming, this formula can be a bit sticky (I would like them to fix this in the formula if possible, am thinking it’s the lectithan) so I often have to wash my hands cuz once wet it’s a bit tacky to the touch. Not a deal breaker though for an item like so many bird owners rely on. I plan to compare it to one other company’s version but been using this for 3 months with success.Tips: It helps to also follow a “less touching/petting/stimulation” rule during homeone season when using this. Sometimes a 5-10 minute alone time to relax helps too, but in conjunction with this & chamomile tea, we have a winning plan for combatting hormonal fluxes in birds. So if I’m gonna review a product that is part of a whole “behavior modification plan” I should explain, responsibly, how we integrate it into that. Alone it does work but don’t expext miracles if you’re not also tackling behavior issues with well known parrot care advice. Like with kids, if u don’t follow thru daily on time outs & quiet time & training adjustments, this alone may not fix it 100%. But it DOES HELP!!! We swear by L-theanine.Also keep in mind it can take days to 2 weeks to see a difference. For us it’s 4-6 days for initial 25% improvement (approx), 2 weeks for a chill that lasts.So start it at the first sign of homeone season and use it daily. Cuz it does get better as you continue to use. No shortcuts & blaming a product cuz that’s all you tried.🤷🏼‍♀️ Birds are complex creatures.Hope this review helps.

This product did NOT work for my African grey. Waste of money!!

I have a 16-year-old Red Fronted McCaw who is very hormonal right now. I was looking for anything that might help her. I make her mixed vegetables in the morning for breakfast, so I sprinkled it on her vegetables. I had my back to her and I heard her saying wow. She said it over and over the entire time she was eating. It has calmed her and her outbursts aren't as often as they were. She can't wait for breakfast now. She absolutely loves the taste of the formula.

I have a Macaw and it's saying to put 1 tsp of the powder on her food twice a day. That's a lot of powder to try and disguise so she will eat it. So she mostly doesn't eat it. If I had read that before purchasing, I wouldn't have bought it.

This stuff works excellent on pluckers and screaming. I have a rescue cockatoo her plucking is dramatically cut down well she still screaming but only when her favorite person is out of site. She just don't scream to be screaming if your a too owner you will understand. Just a little in her water or on her favorite treat she's good most the day

The company is great! This seems to be working for my high strung macaw
