Listerine stops birds plucking feathers

Submitted by Glenda

If your bird is plucking his feathers make a solution of 1 part Listerine and 9 parts water and spray the bird daily - works like a dream

afican gray bird Comments By: tammie will listerine hurt my birds TipKing says: If in doubt do not try it   Dry skin Comments By: Tracey I would just try it with plain water, as the water would be helping with the feather condion and dry skin. Using a product with alcohol in it may dry out the skin. You could add an edible oil such as almond oil/massage oils work also. Olive oil is to coarse to be absorbed by the skin. A baby bath "soap free" bath soap will help the oil to dissolve in the water.   Help my please Comments By: GEM MY BIRD IS SO SAD HE SIT'S ON HIS PIRCH AND EAT'S HE NEVER SING'S I GIVE HIM GOOD FOOD TRY TO GET HIM TO FLY I DO NOT NO WHAT TO DO PLEASE COULD SOMEONE HELP ME HE DOSE NOT HAVE MIGHTS OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT WILL TRY ANYTHING TO HELP HIM THANK YOU. TipKing says: If you are worried about your bird then a trip to the vet may be the answer.
