"As a practicing specialist in avian medicine, I see many cases of feather damaging behavior, which can be a difficult syndrome to diagnose and treat. Pluck-No-More has given relief to this problem for many of my clients and patients. I am impressed with the performance of Pluck-No-More. It has successfully stopped feather damaging behavior in several of my patients. If your bird is a feather plucker, chewer or otherwise destroys its feathers, you owe it to your bird and yourself to try Pluck-No-More. This product is not a replacement for proper veterinary care."

Richard King:

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your new product, "PLUCK NO MORE".  I have found many uses for this product and am excited about the results I have gotten in just four weeks of use.

I own over 45 pairs of breeding parrots, of which I chose Chester my very, very plucked African Grey as my first subject.  Jordy, Chester's mate, has been treated for chronic diarrhea since coming to live at Feathered Playpen and nothing seemed to relieve her problem.   I was surprised to find that Jordy's diarrhea vanished while her mate was being treated for feather plucking with Pluck No More.  Chester started to get pin feathers on the back of his neck that I have never seen in the five years that he has lived here, and Jordy's droppings were normal.

Since Pluck No More worked so well on Jordy & Chester's problems, I decided to try some on a pair of Black-Headed Caiques that I have been trying to get to nest and who also had a case of bad diarrhea. Within a week of adding the product to their drinking water, not only did the diarrhea go away, but she was finally sitting on her first egg.

I figured the product worked so well in the aviary calming birds why not try calming down a sick cockatiel that I was caring for. The bird had started into respiratory distress which was evident by the tail bobbing it displayed. I figured what could it hurt to try to make his last days a little calmer, his death a little more dignified. To my delight, within three hours of dosing him with Pluck No More he was sitting back on his favorite perch peering out the window, whistling his favorite tune and even more surprising was the fact that the tail bobbing was gone. It has been three days since and he continues to improve.

We also board birds and just yesterday I had an African grey come to stay with us. I could tell that she was a plucker, but I was not prepared for what she had in store for me while her owners were on a three week vacation. She had plucked her shoulder feathers so badly that she was actually mutilating raw skin. I had the choice of taking her to an avian vet for a shot to calm her down, which would really upset her, or try some Pluck No More in her water. I decided on the latter and sure enough, Gracie the Congo is sitting calmly in her cage and has not plucked at her shoulders since.

I am seeing a real need for a product like this and I believe we have just touched the surface of its many uses.

Richard and Andrew:

I just wanted to let you know what great results we've seen with Pluck No More on our Black Headed Caique, Callie. Callie is just a baby, in fact her 1 year birthday is 6/14/05 so needless to say we were very worried when she began featherplucking to the down. We went to the vet. We tried countless other remedies and we were fresh out of ideas. Then at the HH Backer show when I told Richard of my plucking problem he told me about Pluck No More. Thinking we've tried everything what could this hurt, I took the bottle home and as Andrew explicitly told me I followed the directions exactly as described. We started to notice new feathering within 9 days of use and now Callie is 100% back to her normal self.

I have a unique position in the avian industry as anything in the world made for birds is typically a phone call away. After calling in countless favors it was Pluck No More that did the trick.

I am definitely pleased with the results. Pluck no more is a true testament to Richard and Andrew Kings commitment to the wellness of birds throughout the US.

In all my years of running a parrot rescue/adoption there are several questions routinely asked. One in particular is "How can I stop my bird from plucking?". Now calls I receive are from people all over giving high praise to this homeopathic product "Pluck No More". After the calls kept coming I had a volunteer try it on a featherless African Grey. We now see red tail feathers we have never seen before as well as an influx of body feathers. Putting the product in a mister bottle gives him an extra boost. Thank you for giving the birds that are normally overlooked a new lease on a better life.

Dear King's Cages,

I've wanted to write to you and let you know how very pleased I am with your new "Pluck No More" product. I purchased 12 bottles about 2-3 months ago and immediately sent 6 of them to a local rescue that we work with for them to try on some of their rescue birds who featherpluck. At the same time, I gave 4 of the bottles to friends/customers that had feather plucking birds, for them to try. About a week or two later I received a call from the rescue telling me that a feather plucking moluccan cockatoo, who they had been using the product with had made an unbelievable recovery. Not only was the bird allowing his feathers to come back in, but his fearful personality had changed as well. He is now lovable and handleable, just as you would expect a cockatoo to be. The latest news about this bird is that he has now been adopted out to a loving home and is going through his first molt without problems.

After hearing about how well it had worked, I started calling around to some of the other people I had given bottles to. Everyone had the same feedback, "this product is great!" Not only does it work against feather plucking, it also has a great calming affect that works wonderfully for African greys and other normally nervous birds. Some of the people stated that their birds had the happy, playful personality they did when they first got them, which some hadn't seen for many, many years. We have even begun using "Pluck No More" when sending certain birds home (African greys) to their new families, to make the transition as seamless and easy for the bird as possible. To date, we have seen some remarkable differences in almost a dozen different birds from Cockatoos and African greys to Amazons, and even Conures that we have used the "Pluck No More" with.

I just want to say thanks again for another wonderful product! Thanks to "Pluck No More", there are a few more birds returning to a normal, happy way of life.

Dear King's

I am writing to tell you how ecstatic I am with the results of your "Pluck No More" product. My Timneh Gray Rocket plucked all its chest feathers after we brought home a new greenwing macaw. We tried everything we could think of to stop the feather picking. We changed his food, added new toys, tried medical treatments, and provided more light but nothing stopped the featherpicking. We were worried sick that he would hurt himself if he kept feather plucking at the rate he was. Then "Pluck No More" came onto the market and we gave it a try. Within a week he stopped feather plucking and we started to see a change for the better in his feather picking habits. I am very happy to say that he now has all his feathers back and he looks great, we owe it all to Kings "Pluck No More".

Its important to note that I am not a novice when it comes to working with birds. I work at Todd Marcus Birds Exotic and have access to a lot of treatments and supplies. Mr. Marcus has 22 years experience in the exotic bird business and stocks a large inventory of medical treatments for birds. None that I have tried worked with the exception of Kings "Pluck No More".

Convinced of the merits of the product I began recommending it to our customers who one by one reported the same outstanding results. Not one person that I have recommended the product to has reported an unsatisfactory result. You can not do better than one hundred percent effective can you? Finally a veterinarian heard me talking about the new Kings "Pluck No More" and said they always recommended a different brand. After reading the list of ingredients in the King "Pluck No More" Product the veterinarian concluded that it was far superior to what she had been recommending.

In closing "Pluck No More" is a great product that has helped my bird Rocket and made me a real hero with our customers who had birds which featherpluck. Keep up the good work and thank you for saving me hundreds of dollars in vet costs.

To Who It May Concern,
We at Most Valuable Pets, Inc. recommended "Pluck No More", distributed by Kings Cages, to 6 customers. There was a total of 4 African Greys and 2 Umbrella Cockatoos who were feather pickers. I had feedback from 3 customers within the first week. They said they noticed a change in their bird almost immediately. One customer who lives in Virginia Beach could not believe how fast it started working and called me to say it was a miracle.

One of the African Greys was a baby from our store who had started feather plucking at 4 months of age. We tried collaring him, but he tore off all the collars and thrashed around. He was visibly distraught. Within the first few days of using "Pluck No More" the picking and chewing of feathers decreased. The product has been given orally to him in his drinking water since the first week in May. He has regained 70% of his feathers.

Dear Richard and Andrew King

For the last ten years we have worked with numerous plucked and feather picking birds. We have tried every remedy on the market, have attended seminars and worked with behaviorists, nutritionists and avian vets. We have explored the effects of improved diet, additional lighting, increased humidity and every environmental factor and variable that we could think of, with limited success. Many of these birds responded temporarily and then resumed the featherplucking habit after a while.

When you first mentioned that you had the solution for this problem, we were skeptical because we thought that we had looked at everything. When you started sending me testimonials, the scientist side of the brain said no way can feathers grow that fast or long-term feather picking behaviors be altered like this.

Well, we are trying your product on a group of 5 badly plucked birds and one baby African grey that started feather plucking at the age of 6 months for no apparent reason. We started them on the Pluck No More Friday, March 4 after taking close-up pictures of their feathers and lack of feathers.

The owner of the young grey is desparate and had asked us to put the bird in a VSP collar. The collar arrived yesterday and when I went to put it on the bird, I noticed that new feathers were growing on her chest. Her demeanor was totally changed. When she came to us she seemed depressed and somewhat lethargic. Yesterday, I really thought that I was looking at a different bird. She was wildly swinging from a rope swing, chattering at her toys and acting more like a Caique than a Grey.

I know that these observations are subjective, but based on this remarkable turnaround in four days: we are encouraged and will carefully document the improvement that we are seeing.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful product with us.

Dear Richard,

Just a note to tell you that I have been using "Pluck No More" with my 3 parrots for two weeks and can already tell a difference.

My female Eclectus, Tuki, has been feather plucking and breaking off her feathers for about 8 years. I tried everything…bathing, every kind of toy, chewables like wood and pine cones, special foods, vitamins, special light, changing and moving cages…even a special vet behaviorist who came to our home. She is healthy and seems to be happy, is a talker and a snuggler…she just doesn't want any feathers!

I am putting the product in the bottled purified drinking water as advised. I also placed some in a spray bottle and sprayed her a couple of times a day, avoiding face and eyes.

In the past I have uncovered her in the morning to what looked like snowfall. All her white downy feathers, plus some of her top feathers were all over the cage bottom. In the past 10-12 days she has stopped featherplucking. I am praying that this continues and that she regains her beauty and peace of mind!

Thank you for offering this product…if you are interested I will keep you advised of her progress.

Dear King's Cages,

I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I have been using your product "Pluck No More" this past month on both my Severe Macaw and my Goffins Cockatoo who featherpluck. They both have a feather plucking problem that began as overgrooming. My Cockatoo "Winston" is not as quiet as he had been. He now talks a lot more than he had and he is playing with his toys again. I have an e-collar on him, I'm not ready to take it off yet but there is a big change in his behavior since adding "Pluck No more" to his water.

Byron, my Severe Macaw does not scream as much as he had and he has down feathers where before there was skin. Neither one of them has molted yet, so I won't know fully to what extent the product has helped, but I am happy with the changes I have already noticed.

UPDATE 03/08/05 - mutilation & featherplucking
I wanted to write and update you on the progress "Winston" my Goffins Cockatoo has made since starting him on "Pluck NO More". In my last letter I told you how he had begun playing with his toys again and talking a lot more. I also told you I have had an E-Collar on him for almost 2 1/2 years. He had feather plucked so severely that he had a hole chewed in his chest. I was not ready to take off his collar when I last wrote. I wanted to let you know that he has been collar free for two weeks and his chest has healed and continues to look good. Before I was introduced to "Pluck No More" I was sure he would spend the rest of his life in an E-Collar.

I received the Pluck No More on Monday, and started doctoring his water immediately. I also decided to have a 'control group' so I have also been giving it to Solly. He doesn't pluck his feathers and has always been a happy camper, but this year is enjoying a particularly ratty molt.

After a full week, Merlin has fuzzy pants and is letting some down grow on his back, which he has always religiously shaved bare. There are a few baby feathers up between his wings, and he is talking much, much more and seems to be leaving the new feather growth alone. Solly is still molting, but his appetite, which has always been extremely finicky, has improved 100%. He is much, much more active and has joined Sheba for the daily flight around the room, which he never was much into before. He also is much more talkative, and he has always been a chatterbox, so that's saying something. I am going to add the Pluck No More to Merlin's misting bottle so he can get a heavier application.

Conclusions: I see some difference in both birds.

Hello Mr. King,

My Momma Roseanna says I need to thank you for the wonderful PLUCK NO MORE! Every time my momma sees me, she tells me how amazing it is that my feathers have come in. You see, even before I came to live with Momma Roseanna, with the help of my wife Mrs. Hansey, I was plucked plumb naked from the bottom of my legs to the top of my neck. Mrs. Hansey was cranky all the time and for the past several months we have not been "co-habitating". My Momma Roseanna told my Auntie Christine about my nakedness, that 2 different vets could find nothing physically wrong with me nor with my diet and they both diagnosed me as a neurotic plucker. Momma also told her how Mrs. Hansey would attack me every time I would try to move back into my home. One day right before Memorial Day, a small package came  to the house addressed to me, Mr. Hansey! It was a bottle of Pluck No More; a present from my Auntie Christine, Pele the Caique and Kiri the CAG! Auntie Christine told my momma to give it to Mrs. Hansey too so that she would calm down and quite trying to "git" me.

Within two weeks of using Pluck No More I had feathers again! If you don't believe me, just look at the pictures I have sent. As of July 12, I am almost fully feathered, AND, the best part for me is that Mrs. Hansey has had a complete change of attitude towards me since  she has been on the Pluck No More. Looks like we'll be having a second honeymoon any day now.

I really, really, really want to thank you for helping me grow my beautiful feathers back and for helping Mrs. Hansey fall in love with me again! We are going to name our first two boys Richard and Andrew (after you and your son.) THANK YOU THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

I tried PluckNoMore on him and I am amazed at how fuzzy my little bird has become. Even my customers have noticed and now want their own bottles of PluckNoMore. One customer tried it on her African Grey parrot and within a couple of days he stopped fussing with his feathers so much.

I especially like that it does not make my bird sleepy like medications often do. He is perky and active like always, but with more feathers.
