UnRuffledRx Bird Vitamins for Feather Growth and Molting, 90 g

UnRuffledRx bird vitamins are a 90 g powder made for parrots and pet birds through seasonal molts and feather changes. The label directions say to sprinkle the powder over chop, soft food or moist vegetables, and the label does not call for adding it to drinking water. The tub comes with a measuring scoop.

What the powder supplies and what it is for

According to the manufacturer, parrots and pet birds can receive daily nutritional support from it when they molt seasonally or their feathers change. The product is also intended, as the brand notes, for birds whose feathers are dull, brittle or uneven, and for birds undergoing normal feather replacement.

• The blend contains biotin, which appears on the label ingredient list as Biotin-D DCP.
• B-complex vitamins are part of the formula, among them thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacinamide (B3), pantothenate (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid and cyanocobalamin (B12).
• Vitamins A, C, D3, E and K2 are listed, with beta carotene as the vitamin A source.
• Minerals such as calcium carbonate, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate and copper oxide sit alongside the amino acids L-cysteine, DL-methionine, L-arginine and L-lysine.

Does this bird vitamin powder suit your bird and your feeding routine?

The label names birds and parrots as the target audience, with no species or age range beyond that wording. The manufacturer positions the powder as something added to food, never to drinking water, so a bird that will not eat soft food or moist vegetables does not fit how the label says to give it. The jar ships with a measuring scoop, size 90 g, and the directions advise beginning picky birds at 25% of a serving and building up from there.
