AviCalm is an avian specific formulation using a compound found in green tea
leaves. Use for screamers, nervous or aggressive birds: For behavior related
feather pickers and chewers. For traveling or new environments. Safe,
non-sedating, non-toxic. When the owner of
BirdParadise was ill for a period of time and unable to
interact with her caiques as much as they were accustomed, they began to pluck.
She started using AviCalm, together Herb Salad and Avian Solution and had
fantastic results.

Features:
The active ingredient in AviCalm, L-Theanine, is used as a food additive
in Japan to promote relaxation and a feeling of well-being without drowsiness.
It is non-toxic and can not be overdosed. It is FDA registered as safe for
food. We use the only certified and tested food additive form of L-Theanine in
our AviCalm formulation.
The potency of L-Theanine is amplified by B vitamins and lethicin.
Therefore, AviCalm should be given together with our Featheriffic! supplement.
We mix them together and place place in a small pile on top of our pellet/seed
mixture. (Our birds love the sweet corn flavor of Featheriffic! and they eat
it immediately - even before they eat the rest of their food.)
Technical Specifications:
L-Theanine has been the subject of serious intensive research relating to
animal behavior. Studies of pet dogs and cats with problems such as excessive
barking, aggression and destructive behavior have proven L-Theanine's
effectiveness in treating these problems.
These animal tests also showed that the potency of L-Theanine is amplified
by B vitamins and lethicin. Therefore, AviCalm is best given together with our
Featheriffic supplement. We mix them together and place in a small pile on top
of our pellet/seed mixture. (Our birds love the sweet corn flavor of
Featheriffic! and they eat it immediately - even before they eat the rest of
their food.)
We use the only certified and tested human food additive form of
L-Theanine in our AviCalm formulation. We receive a certificate of analysis
for every lot delivered to assure purity, the absence of heavy metals and no
evidence of coliform organisms. Our L-Theanine is combined with maltodextrin,
a non-sugar food-grade carbohydrate to provide an easy dosing regime as
follows:
Small Birds (Cockatiels, Budgies, Finches, etc) - 1/8
teaspoon every 8 to 12 hours
Medium (Amazons, Greys, Pionus) - 1/4 teaspoon every 8
