I am not familiar with this specific product but it is made for dogs and cats (so mammals) not birds (avian). Obviously birds and dogs/cats have different nutritional requirements. It probably won't hurt the birds but I am not sure if it will help anything. If your vet recommended it I suppose they have experience using it??? I would actually recommend this one instead as it is especially formulated for birds: https://www.amazon.in/Vetafarm-Probiotic-90-gm/dp/B001LK9158/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1511228932&sr=1-1&keywords=bird+probiotic+vetafarm Hope this helps. Best wishes.
