Mineral Block, what is it and does your bird need it?
The purpose of a mineral block is to provide calcium and trace minerals to pet birds. Birds need to receive enough calcium to function normally.
Developed as an easy way to provide your bird with the option to consume more calcium, Mineral Blocks can easily be hung on the cage bars for the bird to access freely. Mineral Blocks also have the additional advantage of helping to keep smaller birds’ beaks trim and healthy. HARI Mineral Blocks are studded with different natural ingredients, this helps provide additional enrichment when birds scrape and chew the block.
Calcium deficiency can be a problem for companion birds, and they can easily become calcium deficient, so it’s important to feed calcium-rich foods and supplements. It is particularly vital for laying females. They need an especially high amount of calcium to form their eggs – the shells are almost pure calcium carbonate. Birds on an all-seed diet and not given mineral supplements will be deficient in calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and other trace elements. Calcium works along with phosphorus and magnesium to aid in stronger bone growth and normal nerve, brain and muscle function.
