Breeders Delight Cuttlebone 1kg – Bulk Natural Calcium Supplement for Birds

Breeders Delight Cuttlebone 1kg: Bulk Natural Calcium for Aviary Birds

Breeders Delight Cuttlebone is a natural calcium supplement supplied as a 1kg bulk pack, which makes it well suited to breeders, aviaries and anyone keeping several birds. Cuttlebone is the internal shell of the cuttlefish and is largely calcium carbonate, so it gives birds a steady, self-served source of calcium and trace minerals for strong bones, healthy feathers and good eggshell formation. Alongside calcium it carries minerals like magnesium, phosphorus and zinc that support overall health.

For breeding birds in particular, calcium demand rises sharply, and a hen short on calcium will draw it from her own bones to form eggshells. A ready supply of cuttlebone helps meet that demand naturally, and because birds take what they need in their own time, it's an easy supplement to keep available across a flock rather than dosing each bird.

Why It Suits Breeders and Aviaries

• Natural calcium plus minerals like magnesium, phosphorus and zinc

• Supports bones, feathers and eggshell formation, important through breeding

• Helps keep beaks trimmed and conditioned as birds gnaw

• 1kg bulk pack suited to multiple birds, aviaries and breeding setups

• Can be offered whole, or grated and crumbled into food

How to Use It

You can offer cuttlebone two ways. Whole pieces can be clipped or wired into the cage or aviary, soft side toward the birds so they can gnaw easily, which also helps keep beaks worn down. For young birds, finches or a whole aviary, it can also be grated or crumbled and mixed through food, which makes it easy for smaller birds to take. Place it somewhere the birds can reach comfortably but can't foul it, and top it up or replace pieces as they get worn down, soiled or damaged.
