Kings Cages Pluck No More 6 Oz Bottle

We have a Goffin's 2 that is hyper-vigilant. He will preen like crazy at all different times and ends up barbering feathers. In a one week stint, he pretty much barbered every feather, including his tail. He looked like a chicken. We have followed the directions for spritzing and in his water, and the results are remarkable. There was a noticeable difference literally within a week. We are continuing the treatments, but Bandit is improving with new feathers coming in and NOT being barbered. We will be buying the larger size to continue his treatments, but so far so good! Everything is as promised, and of course, Amazon was a champ getting it to me quickly and well-packed. For those that will ask, yes... Bandit has been in to an avian vet several times for this issue and has his yearly tests run. Nothing was amiss with his health, and nothing in the house or cage was off. We have a second Goffin that is thriving.... same age and sex, same cage, same toys. Even the vet was throwing up her hands. She's happy with the results as well!

My cockatoo started feather picking 29 years ago! After she plucked out all her chest feathers, she mutilated her chest. She had 2 surgeries to close these sores. The vets said there was no more skin to pull across for a third surgery if she ever needed it. So she went into all sorts of collars and sock coverings, and little jackets, wrappings of all sorts, plastic shields... all to keep her from her chest. She still picked feathers in places she could get to, like pulling out her tail or wing feathers, or making one leg bald, but she was safe from seriously wounding herself. I felt sorry for her in these wrappings and wanted so badly for her to be able to have them off. I have tried everything to get her to stop plucking - food additives and supplements. I took her to a famous avian vet who said add more veggies, and I did. I bought her a huge cage and all sorts of things in there that she likes to chew. But she never stopped going for her feathers. I decided to try this Pluck No More. But I had low/no expectations. I didn't put it in her water. I put it in a little spray bottle at half strength mixed with water. This bird thinks spraying water in her direction is a punishment, but she was enjoying this spray. I've been doing it daily for several months (several bottles - pricey!) - and saw her feathers were looking better. Sometimes I took her out of the plastic shield, while I supervised her for a few minutes, so she could preen a little. Put her back in her cage yesterday and went out for a couple hours. When I got home, I saw that I had forgotten to put the shield back on! But, I looked, and there was not a single feather or piece of one on the bottom of her cage. She didn't pluck them! She was calm and happy looking. I decided to give her a chance, and I have left the shield off. It's been off nearly 2 days and she's doing so well! It's risky. It wouldn't take her long to make another hole in her chest. But she is so calm, vocalizing and chewing the cage toys approrpriately that I really think she's going to make it. After all these years, all the attempts to shield her from herself, all the failures, this is like a miracle. I am a psychology researcher, no connection to this company. I am just so happy that I thought I should write and tell you to at least try this product. Keep at it for several months, and then if you see the feathers looking better, see if the picking will stop.

I've used up 3 bottles of King's Cages Pluck No More per their instructions and I have had mixed results with my plucking bird. He seems to be playing with his chew toys for the first time. He grew some feathers but then picked them. Since it is spring and we believe his picking is sexually oriented, I am continuing to use it, hoping for the best.

This actually works. The only reason I gave it four stars is because it's really expensive. But, everything by Kings Cages is very expensive. Buy three bottles, one won't be enough. Make sure you follow directions. You must spray this on your birds bald spots and put it in their water. Otherwise it won't work. I just wished that they would lower the price so that those of us on a fixed income can help our feathered friends.

I sprayed and fed this product to my African grey for months and her situation got worse. there were no changes done to the cage or anything for that matter. as a matter of fact I gave her even more attention as I sprayed her with this product. I contacted king's cage about the situation and the 2 girls (amanda and jennifer) with no clue about responsibility told me the product is not guaranteed to work at all. no where on the bottle does it say this product may not work. It amazes when both Jennifer and Amanda referred me to the retail shop. they explained they have nothing to do with refunds only retail that i purchased it from does. they actually assumed no responsibility at all and they manufacture and are in charge of distribution. I explained you are responsible because for instance if I buy a laptop from best buy and the laptop malfunctions after 30 days consumers contact manufacturers such as yourselves. the girls response was, this is not best buy or dell.. WHAT!?!?! dell is responsible for manufacturing and distribution and so are you.... then she felt I was belligerent because I got absolutely no help and decided to hang up when I was explaining that they were responsible. I called back and Amanda the manager answered the phone only to call me a person that is acting like her 6 year old because I wasn't listen to the information she repeated 3 times in a row. I had to cut her off after 3 times because I understand English very well and was told im rude. yes I was upset and had every right to be because they had no remorse for a bad product and making my African greys situation much worse. they didn't even say maybe we sent a bad badge or anything close to that. in the past ive contacted scott lawn for a weed killer not working for the first time in the 20+ years I've used their product. They asked me to send them a copy of the receipt and they refunded the exact cost minus tax. They were not the retail outlet I purchased it from they are responsible for manufacturing and distribution. The company that makes deer away replaced my expired batch for free with no questions asked and I purchased it locally. If anyone wants the recorded phone calls as to how they speak to customers I have no issues sending the calls to anyone. they told me there is no reason to get upset when they clearly are upsetting me during the phone calls with outright disrespect by telling me im acting like their 6 year old child. no time did I ever insult anyone during the call, but they decided to insult a customer. telling me I don't understand the concept of retail and so forth.. avoid this company at all costs!

I had high hopes for this expensive little remedy. One month later, no luck. My bird is still a plucker. I heard it takes 3 months or so. Makes about a gallon of water. Here's hopin I'm not wasting my money!

I've had my parrot for over 30 years and its feathers have always been immaculate. I had two surgeries last fall and he was cared for by my sister. He was kept in the same location but I did not interact with him very much. He became stressed and started plucking his feathers for the first time. (Not related to feather plucking, but he has also turned against me and will try to bite me now given the opportunity) I tried different things such as placing a humidifier near his cage and giving him a mineral block. No improvement. Pluck No More is expensive but I was desperate to "cure" him before he started plucking his down feathers and revealing the skin underneath. The instructions do say that improvement may not take place until you've administered three bottles of the product. His chest feathers started to grow back during the first bottle but he still would eventually pluck them. By the time the second bottle was used up almost all his feathers were regrown. I am about halfway through the third bottle and intend to purchase at least two more to insure that this habit is permanently broken. I want to add that the instructions say to also spray your bird with this solution. My grey absolutely hates being sprayed and since he apparently now hates me, I didn't want to do anything else to aggravate him. So, the product will work even if you don't follow the exact protocol. He continues to chew on a toenail when I am interacting with him which is also a sign of stress. I'm hoping that continued use of Pluck No More will alleviate this behavior. Update: I'm sorry to say that within a few days of leaving the above review, my grey started to pluck his chest and back feathers again. I am still giving him Pluck No More in the hopes that he will re-grow these feathers. I am also going to look into anti-stress products.

This seems to work. My lovebird had a problem "Uropygial Gland infection" so it started plucking the feathers around his tail. The issue of the infection had been resolved with antibiotics under Avian vet supervision. However, my bird kept plucking his feather as it became a habit--so before it becomes a bigger issue I decided to try the Pluck No More, now on 12 days I can see that my bird stopped plucking, and started to preen normally, his feather is starting to grow back. I honestly believe the Pluck no more is helping so I will continue with it until all his feathers are back. For people who complains about the price, I think it is worth it if your bird is going to heal -- it is very stressing to see your pet pluck and you can't do anything -- so I see no issue with price, and I will also recommend the others to be patient with seeing the results. Also worth to mention I didn't notice that the product does any numbing - I was afraid that it will give him that laziness feeling but happy to report he is back to being playful and running around, eating and being just naughty. I also have a canary with old issue of not growing feather around the head and neck -- so I started giving him the pluck no more at same time with my lovebird, also by 12 days I see the feathers are growing on his head, he almost got his fluffy look back, he takes baths by himself from the same water with the pluck no more.
