ProBird Calcium Health Grit 500g Shell Grit & Charcoal Calcium Supplement for Birds

ProBird Calcium Health Grit 500g: Shell Grit and Charcoal Supplement for Birds

ProBird Calcium Health Grit is a blended calcium grit and mineral supplement for birds, combining calcium grit with natural red gum charcoal and natural mineral elements. It gives birds a source of the extra calcium they need for healthy bones and strong eggshells, along with grit that supports normal digestion. This 500g tub is a handy size for cage and aviary birds.

Calcium is one of the nutrients most often lacking in seed-based diets, and demand is highest in laying hens and young, growing birds, where a shortfall can lead to weak eggshells and poor bone development. Offering a calcium grit lets birds top up as they need it. The natural charcoal is a traditional inclusion that supports digestion, and the mineral elements add further dietary support.

It's simple to use: offer it in a separate dish so birds can help themselves, which is how grit and calcium sources are best provided.

Getting the Best From It

• Offer it as a free-choice supplement rather than mixing it through the main feed

• It's especially worth providing to laying hens and growing birds, when calcium demand peaks

• For finches, canaries and poultry, which swallow seed whole, grit also supports the gizzard in grinding food

• Note that hookbills such as parrots and budgies (which shell their seed) generally need little or no insoluble grit, so offer it in moderation and focus on the calcium benefit

• Keep the dish clean and dry, and replace any grit that gets soiled
