I've not heard of it in water. I think the people I'm aware of feed it neat in D-cups or finger drawers, but I'll check to be sure.

Dried Powder form of 'Seaweed meal' is the best supplement to use when mixed in with Soaked Seed to assist in feather loss or feather plucking!
The results are amazing for any birds with FEATHER problems!!
As for the best type/brand i will check the type i have & re-post with an update!

Just closing the loop on this thread...

I ended up buying Blooms kelp powder from the health food store/pharmacy. My Gouldians really dived into it! I believe it made a notable difference, with large healthy babies born very late in an otherwise terrible breeding season. The adults must have been low on Iodine. Very pleased with this simple supplement.
