Give your feathered friend the care they deserve with the Vitapol XL Mineral Block with Sea Shells – 190g. Specially designed to benefit your bird's whole body, this mineral block provides essential nutrients to support overall health, while offering an engaging activity that keeps your parrot entertained and their beak in perfect condition. Suitable for Budgies, Cockatiels, Lovebirds and more, it's an excellent way to combine enrichment with nutrition.
- Whole-Body Wellness: Packed with minerals to maintain good health from beak to feathers.
- Supports Strong Bones & Eggs: High in calcium to strengthen bones and ensure healthy eggshell formation.
- Encourages Healthy Beak Maintenance: Chewing keeps the beak naturally trim and in great condition.
- Natural Sea Shell Goodness: Includes calcareous marine shells for added nutrition and texture.
The Vitapol XL Mineral Block with Sea Shells is more than just a treat – it's an essential part of your bird's well-being. Birds in the wild naturally wear down their beaks by chewing and gnawing, but pet parrots need safe options to do the same. This mineral block provides that opportunity while ensuring your companion gets important nutrients that are often lacking in seed-based diets.
Rich in calcium, this mineral block plays a vital role in bone health, feather condition, and reproductive success. Calcium is particularly important for female birds during egg-laying, as it supports proper eggshell formation. During the moulting period, when your bird is growing new feathers, calcium also helps ensure they develop strong, shiny, and healthy plumage.
The addition of natural sea shells makes this block even more beneficial. Not only do they provide extra minerals, but their texture encourages your bird to peck and chew, which helps prevent boredom and supports natural behaviours. By gnawing on the block, your parrot will also maintain a well-trimmed and healthy beak, reducing the need for manual beak maintenance.
Beyond nutrition, this mineral block offers valuable enrichment. Birds are intelligent animals that thrive when given stimulating activities. Providing a chewable mineral block helps to keep them mentally engaged, reducing stress and preventing destructive behaviours often caused by boredom.
Vitapol has carefully formulated this block to balance nutrition with palatability, making it an easy addition to your bird's daily care routine. It's free from unnecessary fillers and provides a straightforward, natural way to improve your bird's diet while encouraging important natural behaviours.
Regular access to a mineral block like this one ensures that your bird benefits from essential nutrients without compromising on enjoyment. Place the block securely in the cage, and your parrot will instinctively explore, chew, and absorb its goodness.
