Harrison's Avix Soother Topical Spray HealX 8 oz

My African grey parrots pluck out some of their feathers about twice a year, the vet thought it was due to hormones since one is female and the other is male. I tried another Aloe Vera spray product, but it soaked them and they hated being sprayed. This spray is like a mist, and they actually enjoy being sprayed twice a day. It also doesn't have a strong smell like the other products, which means less fragrance which can be irritating. It seems to really help. My 3 parrots also enjoy taking a shower with me on their shower perches every day. After the shower, they get misted with this. Update: My red-breasted cockatoo was starting to feel left out when the African greys get sprayed, so I also spray a little on his chest which makes him happy. My greys stopped plucking a couple of days after I sprayed them twice a day. No more feathers in the bottom of the cage, they look better and seem more content.

The mist from this product is so fine that it does not get past my bird's feathers to his skin, (which seems to be itching him), so it doesn't really work for my purpose. Might work for a bird who had plucked himself bare, however.

Our vet recommended the soother topical spray several years back to keep our doves sore toes clean. I have used it daily. I dip a q tip in a the clear spray cap cover filled with just enough soother for that cleaning session. I DO NOT USE THE SPRAY NOZZLE BECAUSE IT IS MESSY & gets all over the birds feathers. I repeat dipping the q tips in the soother until doves toes & feet are thoroughly clean. I check his feet through out the day to keep them clean of droppings,etc. If I HAD NOT TAKEN OUR DOVE TO THE VET & HAD HIS SORE TOES TAKEN CARE OF INFECTION WOULD HAVE DONE HIM IN. He is 19 years old & thanks to our competent vet he is happy & free of pain. I use this soother on his sore toes & feet several times every day. After losing several of our avian pets to incompetent vets we have found a wonderful on the ball avian vet in Kathy Johnson-Delaney DVM of Kirkland,Washington

We are using this on our lovebird. I cannot say for certain, but I do think it helps with skin itch and feather plucking. He was doing a lot of small are plucking and we have gotten him to stop this behavior, using this spray as one of the things we do. In any case, I do think it soothes him after i spray him lightly as he seems to be very calm and comfortable having been sprayed. In any case, it doesn't hurt or harm.

I have a Yellow Naped Amazon that was a plucker. He was a rescue bird and a very nervous bird. When we have company or a lot of excitement going on around us, such as weather change he occasionally starts to pluck again. And we use this for those situations. This is also our go to for the times when it is too cold to shower him during the cold winter months. It is very dry and arid where we live. It gives the bird a nice sheen and makes his green color more vibrant! During the winter months this is a must have for us! I am a repeat buyer! Great price, great product! Overall I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend this product. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Have a great day!

The spray was helpful in eliminating some of the self picking that my lovebird was doing but it seems to make his feathers greasy and somewhat stained.

Thought it would be good for my parrot.....he hates it and it didn't stop him from chewing at himself. Made his feathers gummy.

I ordered this because we have a bird that's been plucking her feathers. I've been using it several times a day for quite awhile with no apparent results.
