I've seen many bird clients with good luck for pluckers, stressed parrots, or agressive parrots with Bach flower essences:

Eclectus Kitchen Physician Holistic Treatments For Parrots
Info at the bottom of the page!

TREATING ANIMALS WITH Bach Flower Essences®
Info involving other animals

Bird Crisis - using flower essences
I can't say I believe the story in this one, but there is good info about the different essences.

I have used the rescue remedy with my Grey and she's doing great. I'm not usually into holistic remedies, but I thought this may be worth a try as our bird clients use it and highly recommend it. Their birds look wonderful. Typically, people apply it topically or put a few drops in their birds water (not too much so your bird will taste it and not drink!)

:) Anyone with experience with these on Avian Avenue? :)

Oh also, I've found it only at Hannafords, Trader Joes, and Whole foods.

I haven't had any experiences with it but I have thought about trying it with some of my birds so I will be keeping my eye on this thread!

I'm also going to do some research on it today and speak to my avian vets about it tomorrow. :)

There are many good flower essences out there. I use flower essences with my birds on a regular basis. You have to understand what flower essences are and how they work to utilize them correctly. I personally use Ana Flora Flower Essences
Anaflora Flower Essences for Animals & Animal Communication and also essences from Shining Spirits Shining Spirits - vibrational healing for animals and people
You have to know what your birds underlying issues are to administer the correct essence. I have had custom essences made with great success with my birds. Also birds need a special dilution of essences because of their delicate systems. Drops should not go directly in their water but rather making a separate solution with a few drops of the essence added to water and that diluted essence added to their water. Susan at Shining Spirits has worked with essences for several years. I would highly recommend her.

Thanks for the information from those who have used it a lot longer! :)

I came across this and I have to agree they work great. I bought long ago a whole set of the flowers in a wooden case and I replace when one is finished. I use them on my dogs also:) There are good books on them on amazon books selection :hug8:

I had a foster M2 that was a plucker. I also had a high anxiety, plucking SC2 foster. I used Bach's Rescue Remedy and it helped both of them. Heck, I used it on myself and noticed that it helped me! :)

I am very interested in this but I am anxious that perhaps I might end up allergic to something. I have a wide range of allergies and not all of them are known.

Maybe I should contact Susan and get her opinion?

I have used it with dogs and used it myself and I do think it was helpful. I have not used it with my birds, in fact, it never occurred to me that it could be used with birds. Can't wait to hear how people like it.

When I was in NM in natural therapeutics school, and we studied flower essences, the instructor told us on multiple occasions he had used them directly into a bird's beak when he found it lying outside of his sliding glass door. Apparently the birds had flown into the glass door. He said it helped them.
