Product description
Birds have no teeth: they grind their food in the gizzard, and for that they need hard particles. Bird grit 25 kg provides those particles; your birds take what they need, and it stays in the gizzard where it helps grind the seed.
Without grit, grinding is harder for a seed-eating bird and it gets less out of the same food. So it is not an occasional extra, but something that should be available all year round.
Offer it separately in a dish or mix a small amount through the food. Refresh it regularly so it stays clean, and always provide fresh drinking water.
Advantages
Essential for seed eaters
Without hard particles in the gizzard, grinding seed is harder. It is a basic need, not an extra.
Birds dose themselves
Put it out separately and your birds take what they need: no weighing, no calculating.
Needed all year
Not only in the breeding season: as long as a bird eats seed, it needs grit.
Frequently asked questions
What is bird grit for?
To help grind the food. Birds have no teeth and use their gizzard; the hard particles do the actual work there.
How do I offer it?
Separately in a dish, or a small amount mixed through the food. Make sure there is always some available and refresh it regularly.
How much should I give?
No need to measure. Your birds take what they need; just make sure there is always some out.
Which birds need it?
Seed-eating cage and aviary birds, all year round.
What is the difference with oyster shells?
Oyster shells, such as Oyster shells 2 Kg, are lime and dissolve: they mainly provide calcium for bones and eggshells. Grit stays in the gizzard and helps with grinding. Many breeders offer both.
