You can learn about the amazing Omega 3 fatty acids and other properties of hemp on this site, or perhaps you already know it. What many do not realize is the benefits of hemp compared to sunflower seeds as it relates to bird health. Hemp plants do not require pesticides as they are naturally resistant to most attackers (#487 of the cool things about hemp). Sunflowers, conversely, are very much affected by root weevils and other attackers.

Pesticides are used to fight root weevils when growing Sunflowers in nearly all instances. These same pesticides have attributed to negative health effects and even some bird fatalities.

Hemp seeds have benefits that sunflower seeds do not.

Now with over 300,000 administrations from our bird-hemp product line, and with no adverse events reported, we’re ready for our next big step. What might that be, you say? Well, for many new products in the marketplace, like a hemp supplement for birds, there’s little research available for bird owners and veterinarians to base their decisions upon. So we are borrowing from the old concept of “field research” to provide a survey for bird owners. The survey will allow bird owners, whose bird is using or has used hemp, to record their observations related to their bird’s health and hemp. The survey’s objective is simple: to provide insights from bird owners that have used hemp as a health supplement for their bird. The goal is to provide a springboard of information for the scientific community. We’ll probably never reach our goal, but what if?

Starting out 8 years ago by providing a hemp supplement to his family’s ill cat, Ginger, Hemp Well can now be found around the country in both local pet stores and big chains. To keep the survey focused and on task, the founder of Hemp Well, Ryan Richmond, has created and funded a non-profit to drive the survey, BirdHemp.Org.

What else would you expect from a company that believes in natural, sustainable products?

Hemp derived CBD is everywhere. It is in our supplements and our pets too, and for good reason. The myriad of benefits to health from Cannabidiol or CBD use is proven. But what else can hemp deliver?

Hemp delivers the optimal ration of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids. All mammals need inflammation (omega 6) and deflammation (omega 3) and in the ideal ratio. Unlike cannabinoids, our bodies do not produce fatty acids, they must be derived from our diet (or supplements)

Better than other oils, hemp (cannabis) has the optimal ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.

The idea behind BirdHemp.Org is to create a website for bird owners to record their observations when using hemp as a health supplement for their bird so that others can use those observations as sources of first-hand-information.

Collectively, the purpose of the site is to build a knowledge base concerning hemp usage and bird health. Existing conditions, progress, side effects, and results are recorded. All the information is provided by you! BirdHemp.Org collects the information and then collates the information for other bird owners to utilize. Simply speaking, BirdHemp.Org is a hemp collection and distribution point for the bird community. Very simple and, potentially, very useful.

It’s a worthy cause as there is little scientific research on the detailed health benefits from hemp in general, let alone for birds in particular. Because the bird market is a sliver of a sliver compared to the dog and cat markets, actual, expensive scientific research concerning birds and hemp is not likely to appear anytime soon. So, the thought is, why not use the next best thing to that expensive, scientific research – personal observations!

BirdHemp.Org is to operate as a non-profit through a financial commitment. If successful, the control of the website will be turned over to some sort of governing board. There is no sale of your information.

Build awareness

The success of this project depends on public support and public awareness! Please pass the word along even if you’re not interested.

Halloween can be a very frightening day of year for your pets and not in the fun-scarey-way. The noises, children, and costumes may be too much for your best friend. Some things you might consider this Halloween to minimize their stress.

1. Just because you like to dress up doesn’t mean they will. If your furry friend doesn’t want to dress up as a princess, don’t force her.
2. Are you dressing up? Your pet knows your smell but will often need to be reminded that it is you behind that mask. It can be confusing for them, so take off the mask throughout the night and remind them it’s really you.
3. Let them hand out the first of the candy so they understand what is going on. If it is too much, consider a comfortable room away from the trick-or-treater action and leave the TV or radio on to mask the new noises.
4. Consider boarding. While we all want to enjoy every holiday with our pets sometimes that is not possible. Maybe a friend, family member or local boarder can take over for a few hours, or the entire night.
5. Calming supplements like Hemp Well’s organic line of calm products may help to take the edge off and turn a stressful experience into a lasting memory and annual tradition.

Maybe you are already taking CBD (cannabidiol) yourself and thought about supplementing your pet’s health as well. Why not, right? After all we all have endocannabinoid receptors. All of our bodies produce cannabinoids, naturally. What should you consider before giving your pet a human CBD product?

High Amounts of CBD

Often, human CBD supplements promote high levels of CBD. Dogs, for example, have far more cannabinoid receptors than humans. Too much CBD can be wasteful, and too much CBD can have an adverse effect in the production of natural cannabinoids in both of your bodies.

Does it have THC?

Sometimes THC can be good, and sometimes it may be bad. We already know that dogs have more cannabinoid receptors than us, so THC, the psychoactive part of the cannabis plant, might make your dog “really stoned’. Accounts of dogs staying high for longer than 24 hours are common after eating pot-laced cookies or your bag of grass.

What about terpenes?

Terpenes are found in lots of things in nature. Terpenes give pine trees their pine smell, oranges their aroma, and cannabis’ distinctive odor. Terpenes are touted and delivered in higher levels with many human grade products. Terpenes, at certain levels, can be harmful to dogs and even toxic to cats.

Fillers and Flavors

Lots of those human marketed CBD products use cheap fillers and flavors that are not optimal for your pet. In addition, just because you enjoy the cinnamon infused taste, will they?

Birds are one of the most beloved pets that are kept in our homes. Birds are attractive, socially interactive, intelligent and give a great company. These wonderful little creatures are not just to be confined in cages but need attention and care. Let us read more on bird care tips and how to care for these pretty creatures.

The Key Pointers In Bird Care:

1. Choose The Right Cage:

Birds are meant to be free and flying. Hence when you want to keep them as pets, provide a big cage as their home. Birds should have optimal space for them to spread the wings and move around inside the cage. When birds are caged in small places, it might lead to behavioral problems. Rectangular bird cages are preferred over round ones.

2. Choosing Bird Partners:

When you have different species of birds, make sure that they are compatible with each other. If not, provide individual cages for each species of birds.

3. Bird Grooming :

Birds also require grooming and it is one of the most important factors in bird care. You could give them a shower with some water from a spray bottle. Make sure you trim their feathers neatly and maintain them. Hemp Well Bird Hemp oil can be used topically to maintain shiny healthy feathers.

4. Clean The Bird Cage:

Place magazines and papers at the bottom of the cage to make cleaning easier. Regularly clean the bird cages and maintain hygiene.

5. Exercise Your Birds:

Birds need exercises to keep them happy and healthy. Let them have short flights in secured places. Plenty of bird toys are also available in the market to keep them entertained.

6. Bird Nutrition:

Choose the right food for your birds. Feed them a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits like oranges, spinach, berries, and celery.

The tips provided above are common bird care tips for all species of birds. Apart from these, individual type of bird species might require special needs and attention. Keep your birds happy and healthy, or else it might affect their behavior leading to cage fights and screaming.
