Most parrot species evolved in humidity we do not live in, and a house in winter is drier than anywhere they would naturally be — which is why so many birds get flaky skin and dull feathers between October and March.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth of these are \u003cstrong\u003etopical sprays\u003c\/strong\u003e, applied to the bird rather than given in food or water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAloe Vera — 8 fl oz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pH-balanced misting spray formulated to mimic tropical rain — distilled water and organic aloe vera, with no alcohol, dyes or synthetic fragrance. Used to relieve dry, flaky, itchy skin, support feather condition and help a bird through a moult. Many owners find a regular misting settles a nervous bird as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e shake well, spray from about 12 inches, avoiding the eyes. Let the bird air-dry naturally somewhere warm and free of draughts — \u003cstrong\u003enever with a hairdryer\u003c\/strong\u003e. Up to three times daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of birds dislike misting at first and love it within a fortnight. Start with a light spray above the bird so it falls like rain rather than aiming at it directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeather Guard — 8 fl oz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA no-rinse skin and feather spray built on \u003cstrong\u003eorganic oat straw (Avena sativa) extract\u003c\/strong\u003e, formulated for birds that pick at their feathers. The idea behind it is indirect and worth understanding: it is intended to soothe irritated skin, on the reasoning that uncomfortable skin is one of the things that drives picking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read this honestly.\u003c\/strong\u003e Feather picking has many causes — medical, hormonal, nutritional, environmental and behavioural — and skin irritation is only one of them. No spray stops a plucking bird from plucking. A bird that has started needs an avian vet first, to rule out the physical causes, and then usually changes to its environment, diet and routine. This is a reasonable thing to try alongside that work. It is not a cure, and we would rather say so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e spray gently onto the skin and feathers until wet. Repeat as necessary. No rinsing. Store cool and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: organic oat straw extract powder with a Geogard ECT preservative system. Free of herbicides and pesticides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIf your bird's skin does not improve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorning Bird's own advice, and ours: if the condition does not improve, or you see any adverse reaction, consult an avian veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for human consumption.
