CBD Oil For Parrots, Cockatiels, and Conures

The CBD extract is mixed with organically grown fractioned coconut oil to make it palatable and bring it to the correct strength for birds weighing 67-1000g.

CBD oil interacts with your parrot's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is thought to regulate bodily functions like anxiety, inflammation, and cardiovascular health. All vertebrates have an ECS, including humans, dogs, and birds.

Endocannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in birds and humans and are similar in chemical structure to cannabinoids present in the hemp plant. The similarities between naturally present Endocannabinoids and those in hemp may explain how CBD oil works for parrots, cockatiels, and conures.

There are two studies that prove the safety of using CBD in birds:

• Pharmacokinetics of Cannabidiol in the Hispaniolan Amazon Parrot ( Amazona ventralis)
• Twice-daily oral administration of a cannabidiol and cannabidiolic acid-rich hemp extract was well tolerated in orange-winged Amazon parrots (Amazona amazonica) and has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile

Both studies found that birds could be given very high doses of CBD without adverse effects.

After consulting with numerous PhDs and Doctors of Veterinarian Medicine, we believe that a good amount of CBD for birds is 0.5 to 1 mg of CBD per kg of body weight. We print an easy-to-use dosage table on every bottle, so you won't have to get your calculator out to determine the correct dosage.

It would be best to weigh your bird accurately, as small animals are generally more sensitive to CBD, so getting the dose correct is important. Our Parrot CBD oil is designed for birds weighing 67-1000g.

The ideal way to give CBD oil to your bird is to place the dropper in their mouth; however, for the less cooperative, there are other options. Other options include adding the oil to food or purchasing our CBD parrot treats. If CBD is absorbed through digestion, you will need to increase the dose as less is absorbed.

There are some possible side effects of CBD oil for parrots. Fortunately, they are relatively mild.

Side effects may manifest as dry mouth, diarrhea, drowsiness, fatigue, or reduced appetite. These side effects are relatively rare and will subside if the dose is reduced or you stop using the product.

Feather-picking and self-mutilation behaviors are common in Psittacine Birds like parrots, cockatiels, and conures. Feather-plucking ranges from over-preening and chewing to complete removal of all body feathers, a big shock to bird owners. Research has shown that there are two primary categories for feather picking: medical and behavioral.

CBD can promote a sense of relaxation and help maintain physical and mental well-being through its interaction with your parrot's ECS.

The ECS is located throughout the bodies of birds, including the skin, providing a vehicle to get CBD oil where it's needed the most.

Our CBD oil is carried in a coconut-derived and organically grown MCT oil that provides essential fatty acids, including Omega 3 and 6. Both have been shown to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that may benefit skin issues, improve gut health, and reduce the growth of oral bacteria.
