Question 1

What's the difference between the dog and cat version vs the one for both?

Accepted Answer

You can check the ingredients for both and see the difference.

Question 2

Can i mix powder in a container with seed and shake it all up and then seed is covered each feeding

Accepted Answer

Hi & thanks for the great question! That is a great way to provide the Avian powder in your bird's diet. The "stickiness" of the ground flaxseed helps the powder easily and naturally adhere to seed and other types of feed, so the birds consume it when mixed in with their regular diet. We hope you and your  bird see and feel great results from the supplement! 
Warmly,

Question 3

Can I mix that with water

Accepted Answer

I have never mixed this powder supplement with water. Birds don't drink a lot of water. So, if you mix this powder supplement with water, the birds may not get enough supplement in their systems. I use 1/8 teaspoon of the supplement every morning, and mix it with the bird seed for a few minutes. The supplement dissipates among the grains of seeds. My two birds eat the seeds with the supplement. And, their feathers are very colorful and strong, even after a heavy molt.

Question 4

Did anyone else notice that this product is called "Avian Formula for Dogs"??

Accepted Answer

It has been several months ago that I ordered this product for my English Budgies.  The package I got definitely says "avian".  If you do a search "missing link for birds", this product shows up.  If you do a search for "missing link for dogs" this product DOES NOT show up.  I'm not sure why Amazon has the incorrect description on the heading, but this is not the first time that I have come across this problem.  Now that you have brought it to their attention, maybe they will correct the heading.  Missing Link started out making a supplement for dogs, and all their products are similar (if you look on their website).   The Avian formula has soy bean added with the basic formula containing meat products.  I have talked to some breeders who feed meat and fish to their Budgies but in my research, most do not.  My birds did not seem to like this product.  With birds, they are definitely difficult to get to try new things.  Birds like what they were fed by their mothers when they were babies and if the breeder did not offer food similar to this, they may not take to it even if it is good for them.
