Pet Remedy Bird Calming Kit

Calming support designed around a bird's sensitive lungs

Birds take in the air around them far more readily than cats or dogs, so the Bird Calming Kit is used indirectly. The diffuser goes in a well-ventilated room, a few feet from the cage rather than beside it. The spray never goes into the air near your bird: you spray a cloth, perch cover or your sleeve, then place or wear it near the cage.

When to use the Bird Calming Kit

Pet Remedy suggests the kit for times that unsettle pet birds: settling into a new home, vet visits, travel, cage cleaning and fireworks. Start the diffuser before Bonfire Night and keep it running, and use the spray on a cloth for the noisiest evenings. For more on getting through the season, read our guide to easing pet anxiety in fireworks season, or see the full Pet Remedy range.

Diffuser

1. Fit the 40ml refill to the diffuser.
2. Plug it into a socket in a well-ventilated room, at least a few feet from the cage and not directly beside it.
3. Leave it switched on. Each refill lasts up to 8 weeks.

Spray

1. Spray onto a cloth, perch cover or your clothing.
2. Place the cloth, or wear the clothing, near the cage.
3. Never spray into the air near your bird.

• Birds have small, sensitive lungs: never spray into the air near your bird, and keep the diffuser a few feet from the cage in a well-ventilated room.
• Do not spray directly onto your bird.
• If your bird's behaviour does not improve, or you have any concerns, speak to an avian vet.
