Hello fellow bird owners! This is my first ever thread, so I'm not too sure how to navigate everything. I just wanted to run a bit of an experiment/review for everyone wondering about the Bird Hemp oil from the brand Hempwell. There were barely any reviews on it anywhere, but it was recommended to me by my bird place. Here are what it claims to do if your bird ingests it or it is applied topically:
I am providing before pictures of my pet Quaker parrot (her plucking is at it's worse, but thankfully she hasn't gotten to the point of self mutilation) and the bottle with information about the product. I will try and update this weekly to discuss any differences in behaviors/plucking habits.
Currently, she is both kind and cuddly, but aggressive at times. I have had her for almost three years now (since she was 5 months old) and she has always been that way. We'll both be happily siting on the couch when she just vampire bites my neck for absolutely no reason (she has done the same for my ear/lips). She's also a big fan of biting my fingers when she doesn't want to be held. But, despite all that, she loves when I massage her head and she'll cuddle up right on my shoulder. I have made sure to provide many shredding toys (her favorite) to help her let out everything. She also gets veggies daily (peas, corn, sweet potato, carrots) and some carbs (rice and bread). She is quite underweight, but she eats her veggies, seed mix, and Zupreem pellets. I just think it's because she is never in her cage, and always moving, so she burns off a lot of that. Her plucking started a couple of months ago, and I think it is because of her separation anxiety. Since she grew up with me always handling her (again, she only used her cage to eat and sleep) in fear that she would not become tame, she became very connected to me. Anytime I put her in the cage now, I can hear when she plucks her feathers (she make a sound) and when I go to get her in the morning the floor of the cage is just covered in feathers. I thought that this product may help relax her fear of being alone, so when she is she won't pluck.
