Technical Specifications & Materials
The Critical Role of Red Palm Oil for Greys & Macaws
In parts of their West and Central African range, wild African Greys eat the rich, orange pericarp of the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), and many wild macaws feed on the fruits of native South American palms. Our red palm oil supplies natural carotenoids and tocotrienols (vitamin E compounds).
Anti-Inflammatory EPA & DHA for Feather Pluckers
Omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA and EPA are involved in the body's inflammatory response and are commonly used to support skin health. Itching, flaky skin or feather chewing can have many medical causes, so have your bird examined by an avian vet first.
Cardiovascular & Hepatic Protection
Captive birds with sedentary lifestyles are prone to atherosclerosis and hepatic lipidosis. Essential omega-3 fatty acids help maintain arterial elasticity and support healthy hepatic lipid processing.
Administration & Storage
Using the calibrated dropper pipette, dispense 3-5 drops directly onto morning pellets, whole wheat toast, or fresh chop. Store the dark glass bottle in the refrigerator after opening to prevent lipid peroxidation.
