✨ Variety of food: Texture and natural foraging
The mixture consists of small inorganic particles in the form of pebbles (grit), crushed shells and pieces of sea coral. This diverse and hard structure not only supplies the birds with essential minerals, but above all forces them to naturally wade through the bowl at the bottom of the cage, thus faithfully simulating the ground foraging typical of wild individuals looking for the necessary digestive aids.
🔬 Ornithological window: Nutrition to the last feather
Birds do not have teeth, so they rely on a muscular stomach to process whole grains, where food is crushed. Swallowed grit works in this organ like millstones that grind the seeds into fine digestion. In addition, the shells and corals present gradually dissolve under the influence of stomach acids and smoothly release calcium into the bloodstream, which is critically important for the physiological structure of bones and the strength of eggshells.
🦜 Translated into human: Your parrot can’t chew food, so it swallows it whole. To get all the nutrients from the grains in the belly, it needs to have small stones in its muscular stomach that literally grind the food into porridge. In addition, the shells and corals in this mixture act as a natural calcium tablet, so the bird gets trouble-free digestion and stronger bones in one single step.
💡 Nerd alert (Did you know?): In the wild, birds regularly visit river banks or bare ground, where they instinctively and deliberately swallow small pebbles and fragments of shells to keep their muscular stomach one hundred percent functional.
⭐ Nutritional and functional benefits in practice:
-
Support of mechanical digestion – Insoluble grit works in the muscular stomach as an effective crusher of ingested whole seeds.
-
Natural source of calcium – The shells and corals contained in it are digested slowly and thus ensure a physiological supply of calcium.
-
Prevention of digestive problems – Regular intake of these hard particles prevents dangerous congestion of undigested food in the digestive tract.
🎯 For what parrots is the mixture
mixed Due to the precise function for mechanical digestion, this supplement is strictly required for all size categories of grain-eating birds. Of the small species, it is completely safe and necessary for Australian budgerigars and neophytes. In the middle category, it is used daily by Australian cockatiels, roselles and South American aratings. Of the large parrots, it is essential for African frogs, South American Amazons and macaws, as well as for Australian cockatoos.
