Hello!
I was reading about red palm oil,and I have 2 rescue birds who pluck, but one looks to have "bad" feathers also. She does pluck some but the ones she doesn't pull out seem to be dry and curly-ish if that makes sense?
But anyway, does anyone here use red palm oil ? Or does anyone have a problem with it?

@Hankmacaw helped me out with a fair bit of information regarding RPO. I also hassled @Macawnutz for information as I was not sure how much nor how often to give the RPO.

I have used RPO on my birds for 15+ years and have never had any issues, only better health and beautiful feathers. Nutiva seems to be the best brand on the market now.

Here is Dr. Harrison's article about RPO. (Sunshine Factor is no longer sold,)
