Age can cause increased stress and mobility problems
Stress in birds can lead to many unhealthy behaviors, such as excessive vocalization, self-harm (feather plucking), and reduced appetite. Mobility problems will make the problems worse because they won't be able to move like they used to.
Pineapple CBD Treats can help
Our Pineapple CBD Treats have been designed to deliver an effective amount of CBD so that your bird can benefit from its calming and mobility-improving effects, resulting in less unwanted behaviors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are CBD treats for Parrots, Cockatiels, and Conures?
You might have heard about CBD for people or even dogs, but CBD for parrots is still relatively uncommon. Why? Up until now, the only CBD products that have existed for birds have been CBD oils, making them difficult to administer (with all but the most cooperative participants) and near enough impossible to get an accurate dose.
We’ve solved that problem with the first-ever CBD treats for Parrots. These treats are a little more special than that, too; they have only two ingredients, pineapple and CBD. They are also small, and there are a lot of them, making it easy to get an accurate and effective dose.
Our proprietary treat-making process allows us to keep in all the good stuff, like CBD, nutrients, and fatty acids, without using any artificial colors, flavors, GMO’s, additives, or preservatives.
As with our other products, these CBD treats for birds are made with non-intoxicating CBD from legal hemp plants grown in the USA.
How do you choose the right treats?
Buying the correct CBD treats for Parrots, Cockatiels, Conures is important because of their small size.
Make sure you buy from a reliable provider with easy access to ingredients and lab results. We strongly advise you to check the results; if they aren't recent, conducted by a third party, or correct, you should steer clear.
We pride ourselves on transparency and quality; if you have any questions about our products, we encourage you to reach out and talk to a member of our team.
What can they do?
To put it simply, our birds have a system that can interact with CBD, giving it the ability to influence how they handle things like pain, anxiety, appetite, and stress.
CBD can help bring them back into balance to reach homeostasis when their system gets out of whack.
Are CBD treats safe for birds?
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.
How many CBD treats can you give birds?
We print a really simple and accurate dosage table on our CBD parrot treats; look up your bird’s weight, and you’ll see our dosage recommendation. Start on the low end, and increase every few days until you see results.
Birds are small so you must weigh them to make sure you’re getting the right dose.
Are there potential side effects of CBD in birds?
In most cases, CBD will have little or no side effects, and if there are any, they are mild and reversible by simply reducing the dose.
Possible side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, diarrhea, lethargy, and an upset stomach. Research and real-world data have shown CBD is generally safe to take for humans and animals.
Can these help birds who hurt themselves?
CBD can help maintain your parrot’s physical and mental well-being, and anxiety is one of the main reasons parrots hurt themselves.
Anxiety disorders lead to compulsive conduct and may be caused by genetics, traumatic events, or a lack of stimulation.
Since CBD interacts with your parrot’s systems that help modulate a wide range of physiological processes, including mood, it may be able to provide some comfort for anxious birds.
Can CBD treats be used for feather plucking/picking in birds?
While CBD could help, that would depend on the root cause of the issue. For example, CBD could promote a sense of calm and help if it's stress-related. However, if a parasite causes it, you need to go to the vet for treatment.
Can CBD help stressed birds?
Yes, CBD can promote relaxation in stressed birds!
CBD’s interactions with bodily systems in humans have been shown to boost serotonin levels and appears to have a similar impact to antidepressants, without the same dangerous side effects. Since CBD works similarly in birds, you can expect similar results.
Stress is known to cause serious problems in birds. It has been noted that stressed-out birds will take more risks than relaxed birds. It seems counterintuitive for stressed birds to take risks, but corticosterone is released to help tackle stress by encouraging survival behaviors. CBD has been observed to reduce cortisol in humans. Cortisol is the mammal counterpart to corticosterone.
Can CBD help parrots with pain?
CBD has demonstrated its ability to influence the way we feel pain, especially chronic pain, and based upon this, it’s safe to say it has the potential to do the same in parrots.
Pain hinders the quality of life in all animals. Currently available treatments, generally opioids and anti-inflammatory drugs, are not always the answer for smaller animals like birds.
