Equa Holistics HealthyGut™ Avian Probiotics Dietary Supplement for Parrots, All-Natural Digestive System Formula (120 Servings)

This was exactly what I needed for my birds. After the first day using I saw a difference in the bird droppings, not perfect but better. I will say that the first time the birds went into the food with this powder on top they were not too happy and moved off the food. I gave it a bit of a stir so it wasn't just on top and when they went back to try the food again there was no problem and they have been eating regularly with the powder lightly mixed in since. Also, the previous unpleasant odor from their droppings is gone. After three days they are doing very well but I will continue to use this product.

I'm a wildlife rehabber and these avian probiotics become a crucial element in all of my patients' diets at some point during their healing process. My birds on systemic antibiotics, and the ones that are heavily parasitised, always get these probiotics in their food to help balance the deficit of natural gut flora that are being depleted while they are struggling. The same can be said for my birds that are undergoing the stress of captivity, are going off their food, or are immune compromised in some other way. It's direly important to stabilize and support gut health for wild animals in captivity, so I'm a huge supporter of a high quality probiotic supplement (bonus points for this being dairy free, as avians really shouldn't be fed dairy!) My healthy birds and mostly-recovered patients receive their probiotics twice a week in their meals to keep them on a good track. The price per oz is a little intimidating for someone on a budget, I'll admit, but the results I'm seeing in my patients makes this a worthwhile purchase to me. Equa Holistics also seems to have great customer service, and they have reached out to me several times since my initial purchase, in regards to feedback and even promotion offers. Great product, great customer service, great birds, great review!

My budgie is ill and the vet suggested giving him probiotics to get his good bacteria up. He also just stopped an antibiotic, and many websites state that it is good to give them probiotics while on the antibiotic and some time after to help restore the good bacteria. So far I can't tell if they are working, however, though it's pricey, it is a very good amount, especially for a tiny bird like a budgie. It's easy to use by sprinkling it on food. It does come with a scoop, but I took one star off for the size of the scoop - it is too large for a budgie and would have been nice for them to include a spoon with maybe one side the larger scoop and the other a smaller one. Other than that the bird seems to be eating the food and it's a lot easier than dosing by oral syringe or putting in water. Hopefully now it does the trick and makes my budgie better!

I bought this last October in an attempt to keep my parrots from getting crop infections. They greatly love making soup from their food, so we've had issues with multiple infections over the years which has made me hypervigilant and paranoid. We're 6 months in and we've had no crop infections so far (I also moved their food and water far away from and on different cage levels than each other so it makes it a tedious task for them to make soup)! I use a small container cup with a lid, put a scoop of food in, put in one scoop of this powder using the little scoop provided inside, put the lid back on and shake it throughly. This method helps make sure all the food is coated instead of just sprinkling on top.

my budgies seem to not mind it, sprinkle on their food and you're done

My birds are parkeets that use this. Really has helped them so having less itching. Brighter plumage during molting time and are talking more happier. One small scoop that came with added to there foods.Worth the money.

I’ve been adding this to food for my 6 parrots for years. It is easy to use, my birds seem to like it, and I feel good about adding probiotics to their diet. Highly recommended.

My pet conure has always looked and behaved malnourished. After adding vitamins and minerals to her diet didn’t do the trick alone, I added these probiotics to her diet. Since then, her feathers, which used to be ragged looking, uneven, and dull, have become healthy looking, full, symmetrical, and colorful. That difference can only be explained by a failure to absorb the vitamins and minerals that she was being fed in the past. I cannot reference other products in reviews. Suffice it to say that I add a tiny bit of probiotic powder (and two other Avian powders, along with freeze dried broccoli and kale powder) to her nuggets [brand name omitted]. I also add a drop of liquid multi-vitamin to her drinking bowl. FYI, I do not add probiotic powder to her drinking bowl. And I don’t mix probiotics into any fluids before adding it to her food. I sprinkle it into her nuggets and that’s it. I have no complaints with this probiotic powder. It doesn’t appear to have an odor and my conure doesn’t reject food that I have sprinkled probiotics into.
