Taxonyx Science Inc AviCalm Calming Supplement for Birds - Compare to Avitech! (16 oz)

I am happy to find this effective avian calming powder after the Avitech product disappeared from the market. I sprinkle it on both my large macaws’ pellet bowls with their multivitamins. AviCalm relieves my talkative girly bird’s hyperactivity, and my big boy’s aggressive toy wrestling. The magic powder has a subtle effect. My birds are not tranquilized, just perfectly behaved giant macaws both in and out of their cages ;>

I have used this product for years and had great results. It is all natural using the active ingredient in green tea to calm birds. Kind of like medicines for adhd use stimulants to calm. I love this product made by taxonyx.

Does not work as well as the product for calming by Unruffled Feathers. So, I was disappointed. Also, the bottle was much smaller than I had anticipated so not great for the money paid.

Did absolutely nothing for my birds

This is to birds as Lorazepam or Xanax is to humans - a great immediate release medicine for panic and anxiety, but very temporary. When it's out of their system, it's out and it's done. But when my psycho budgie drinks some of the water I dosed with a pinch of this, she feels good! Gives her (and me and quiet budgie) a nice break from her usual screaming hormonal panic attacks. This is a good solution for caged pet birds. Every bird has their unique story and personality, and not every pet bird is going to be quiet and calm, regardless of training, attention, circumstances. Some birds are just going to have anxiety or extra emotions. We have to remember that pet birds are NOT domesticated, so they are still WILD animals in cages. There is NO shame in using a supplement, just like there is no shame in taking medicine for your own anxiety :) I took one star off because WOW this is overpriced for the potency!! I find I need to use a lot for it to be able to enter her system (I guess I could find an even tinier water bowl so it's not as diluted...), so this 2 oz jar doesn't last long and is so expensive! L-theanine is not that expensive! This one is the same price per ounce or less as the other makers. But come on, stop making it so expensive for birds to be happy. That's mean.

I have used this product for years to calm an anxious cockatoo. It takes the edge off. I can tell the difference in his anxiety level on days that I was too lazy to add to his food.

I travel a lot and sometimes put stress on my cockatoo. After using the powder in her water she has seemed to calm down And it's quit picking. I would recommend this product To anyone that has a bird with stress

I used this product to help stop my bird's feather plucking. Initially it helped but when he tasted it on his food he would not eat it.
