I don't know much about your birds but I don't think they like (or even can stand) aspirin(R), but I'm quite sure that their stomach cannot handle the combination of acid and soda and developing so much carbon dioxide: their stomach is at least twenty times smaller than that of human! Even children (4 times smaller) shouldn't use an adult dose.

Alka-Seltzer is a combination of aspirin(R)(acetylsalicylic acid), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), and citric acid (H3C6H5O7), aspirin doesn't play a role in this reaction.

H3C6H5O7(aq)+3NaHCO3(aq)→3H2O(l)+3CO2(g)+Na3C6H5O7(aq)citric acid-baking soda→water+carbon dioxide, gas!
