Omega Fatty Acid Supplement
Product Overview & Description
Our Cold-Pressed Avian Omega-3, 6 & 9 Fatty Acid Supplement is a veterinarian-formulated liquid lipid oil blend combining sustainable unrefined red palm fruit oil, organic flaxseed oil, and purified marine microalgae oil rich in EPA and DHA. Specifically tailored for companion parrots to combat skin inflammation, promote heart and liver health, and replicate the natural dietary fats wild psittacines obtain from palm nuts.
Technical Specifications & Materials
The Critical Role of Red Palm Oil for Greys & Macaws
In their native equatorial African and South American habitats, wild African Greys and Macaws feed extensively on the rich, orange pericarp of wild oil palms (*Elaeis guineensis*). Our sustainably sourced red palm oil delivers natural unesterified carotenoids, tocotrienols, and medium-chain fatty acids that domestic diets critically lack.
Anti-Inflammatory EPA & DHA for Feather Pluckers
Marine algal DHA and EPA modulate inflammatory eicosanoid pathways in avian dermis, substantially reducing chronic cutaneous itching, flaky skin, and secondary feather chewing.
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.
Species Compatibility, Daily Husbandry & Veterinary Safety
Companion avian health requires precise alignment between the physical attributes of your bird and the materials in its daily habitat. Inspect all accessories daily for normal wear, sharp edges, or fraying. Introduce new equipment gradually during supervised daylight hours to prevent fear responses, and ensure clean, fresh water is available adjacent to feeding and resting stations at all times.
Avian Quality Assurance & Material Verification
Every aviary accessory and dietary formula offered by PickIN Parrots undergoes rigorous evaluation for psittacine biomechanical safety, non-toxic metallurgical compliance, and chemical purity. We strictly verify that all metal alloys are free from bio-accumulative zinc and lead, all wood species are non-toxic and responsibly harvested, and all nutritional ingredients meet human-grade freshness standards to safeguard your companion bird's long-term health.
