Morning Bird Thrive Recovery Supplement, 2 oz.

Really liked the product it was my first time using it

This really works for molting birds

Got it for my conure because he had a lot of pin feathers. Works well in helping resolve that isssue.

Good

This helped my sick bird have more energy. It was a noticeable difference in only one day

Used for chickens super happy.

We are going to start giving their vitamins, so our birds stay healthy and their life span gets longer.

I feed a large community of crows, ranging from 30-50 members depending on the season. Avian pox can be disastrous when the birds are suffering from a weakened immune system and stress. However, in my experience, when we supply our beautiful black monsters with a robust assortment of healthy food and sanitary bathing/drinking stations, the chance of recovery is about 98%. This is necessary to maintain a thriving community among all birds, not just crows. I have not found the typical recommendations for reducing avian pox to be effective; general guidance calls for the removal of all food and drinking water, to limit the population from exposure by creating a sort of “bird social distancing” and thus preventing the spread of the virus when coming in contact or close proximity to those birds carrying it. These recommendations are not only illogical, they can be deadly for our birds. As you know, crows live within family units which function as larger collectives of many families all occupying a certain territory. Exposure to avian pox can’t be avoided, transmission is most often from insects (mosquitos, etc;) carrying it, and removing source of food and water induces stress, dehydration, and nutritional deficiency - all which increase the chances of the bird not being able to fight off the virus. Instead, we must strengthen the immune system so that our birds can quickly fight off the virus, especially before it has a chance to invade the trachea or windpipe. I use this product when they experience an outbreak, and the recovery is miraculous. Since using this product, I’ve seen them fight off the virus approximately 85% faster. Additionally, instead of lesions quickly multiplying and spreading to other parts of the body, they experience very few new lesions. Oozing and infection from picking and scratching at the pox has reduced dramatically.This product is also a great option for the occasional dehydration and general malaise the crows experience from time to time. We have the stubborn patrons who refuse to eat vegetables, fruit, or anything raw and packed with nutrients - this eventually takes a toll on them and they begin looking quite sickly. I use this product and notice those birds immediately perk back up and the lethargy dissipates.So the tricky part with this stuff is that it’s a powder, and we don’t dissolve it in the water due to potential for bacterial growth from sitting out during the day. Instead, we prefer to have the birds consume it immediately, and there are some tips for making this possible:1. Dissolve the powder in slightly warmed raw honey and spread the honey or drizzle it on the birds favorite food. This is great as it increases the chances of the powder staying on the food and being consumed.2. Mix the powder into your choice of peanut butter and dip your birds food in it. Ours will eat celery and peanut butter for the most part, and if your bird doesn’t like celery, he will certainly nip the peanut butter off the stalk regardless.3. If your bird is a fan of oatmeal, this is a quick and easy way to mix it into their portion.Always remember to mix the correct dose of powder into the amount of food you KNOW your bird is going to actually eat. Don’t premix it into anything and store it for later use. Only mix it into what you are going to feed the bird immediately, and what the bird is going to EAT immediately. Don’t mix this into something that your bird is going to snack on throughout the entire day, it’s not meant to be used like you would use a seasoning or some kind of egg shell powder!

My son's fancy pigeon, who is venturing into "no spring chicken!" territory, was starting to act a bit under the weather. She had a couple of rounds of poopy issues over a number of days, and was acting more subdued than usual. After ascertaining that it didn't seem to be a bound egg, and before jumping to a vet visit, I thought we'd try making sure we were perfecting her vitamin and mineral balance first in case it was something that easy. Well, it seems like it was! She perked back up to her usual, demonstratively affectionate self quickly, full of coos and spinning-dances and following my son everywhere again. Her backside started staying tidy again. She truly made a quick and full turn-around, and without the cost of a vet visit and the diagnostics they'd want to run. I'm glad that my kid's birdy is back to full health and he needn't fret over her anymore, and that my husband isn't face-palming over a big vet bill when the answer was as easy as perfecting her vitamins and minerals a bit better. This is good stuff!

Easy to use. My birds like the flavor

Product was used on some show pigeons that where in quarantine for 14 days birds look great after used would recommend this product to others fanciers

I have been using Thrive for my pair of Lady Gouldian finches since their arrival from a breeder on the West Coast in September '19. Thrive was recommended to me to aid in their acclimation to my aviarium after their all night flight to the East Coast. I have been adding to their daily drinking water now for 13 months, and along with a diet of finch seed, fresh greens, egg food, millet, etc. they now are the parents of five healthy juveniles. We have expanded to a flight cage for the "kids" and they also drink the vitamin water daily as well. So, I will continue this regimen for them as it is one more way I can keep them healthy, happy, and strong.This is a 2023 update: my female mama gouldian and her nine babies are all still thriving after drinking Thrive energy supplement in their water ( five years for mom; three years for the kiddos). Even though they enjoy an excellent diet with fresh spinach, multiple treats, seeds, egg food and the like, I think the Thrive really is a great supplement that gets them through the moulting periods with more ease and comfort.

I found an injured bird on my back porch. I mixed Avain organic herb salad and Thrive bird formual (this product)in the injured birds food. The bird also had acess to raw organic honey. The injured bird thrives on all this extra nutrients and was able to fly away to be with his family. . subsequently I adopted a pet bird (budgie ) who was sick andthe herbs coupled with organic sprouted seeds , raw organic honey and the Thrive (vitamins and minerals) really seemed to help him. I highly recommend this product

Good product

My parrots love this product and it helps them with their dry skin. No more plucking feathers!!!

I have a sickly, handicapped, 16 year old cockatiel and I believe Thrive is the only thing keeping her going.

Great product. My Conure is not sick but she is 26 years old. Just not eating the way she should. I mix this with water and give it to her in a syringe. She loves the flavor so I do not have to force her. Gave her the boost she needed. She has gained weight and feeling her young self again. I still give it to her once in a while when I notice she is not eating right. Highly recommend.
