Description
Mood Food is built around L-theanine, the amino acid found naturally in tea leaves. Morning Bird's stated intent is to take the edge off behavioural stress without sedating the bird — the mechanism they cite is alpha brain-wave promotion and neurotransmitter balance.
The situations they name are the ordinary ones that unsettle birds: travel, a change of environment, loud noise, pacing, excessive screaming and feather plucking.
What it is honest to expect
This is a nutritional supplement, not a sedative and not a treatment. It is reasonable to try when a bird is unsettled by something specific and temporary — a house move, a stay with a sitter, building work next door, a long car journey.
It will not stop a plucking bird from plucking. Feather destructive behaviour has a long list of causes — medical, hormonal, nutritional, environmental, behavioural — and most of them are not addressed by a calming supplement. A bird that has started plucking needs an avian vet first, to rule out the physical causes, and then usually a change to its environment and routine. Anyone who tells you a powder fixes it is selling you something.
Excessive screaming, likewise, is nearly always a learned behaviour or an unmet need. This may help a stressed bird settle; it does not replace working out what the bird is asking for.
Dosing
In water: ¼ teaspoon per ounce of drinking water, changed daily.
In food, every 8–12 hours:
| Small bird | ⅛ teaspoon |
|---|---|
| Medium bird | ¼ teaspoon |
| Large bird | ½ teaspoon |
| Extra-large bird | 1 teaspoon |
Use one method or the other, not both.

Cautions
Not for human consumption. Keep away from children. Not for birds kept for meat or egg consumption. If your bird's behaviour has changed suddenly, see an avian vet — a sudden behaviour change in a bird is very often a sign of pain or illness rather than mood.
