5 FAQs
Why are mineral blocks important for birds?
Birds need calcium, iodine, and other essential minerals for bone strength, eggshell formation, nervous system function, and feather health. Mineral blocks help meet these needs in an easy, natural way.
How do birds use mineral blocks?
Birds instinctively peck, chew, and grind their beaks against mineral blocks, which not only deliver nutrients but also aid beak maintenance and mental stimulation.
Are cuttlefish bones and mineral blocks the same?
Cuttlefish bones are a natural source of calcium, while mineral blocks may include additional supplements like iodine, clay, or flavouring. Both are beneficial and can be used together.
Can all pet birds use mineral blocks?
Yes! Most species – including parrots, budgies, finches, and cockatiels – can benefit from mineral supplementation. Just ensure the size and type are appropriate for your bird.
How often should I replace a mineral block?
Replace the block when it's significantly worn down or if it becomes soiled. Some birds go through them quickly, while others may use them slowly over time.
