WHY DO BIRDS NEED THE MINERAL BLOCK?

The purpose of a block of minerals is to provide calcium and trace elements to pet birds. It is essential that birds receive enough calcium to be able to function normally.

Developed as an easy way to give birds the option to consume more calcium, Mineral Blocks can be easily hung on cage bars for the bird to access freely.

Mineral blocks also have the added advantage of helping to keep the beaks of smaller birds in good condition and healthy. HARI mineral blocks are packed with different natural ingredients, which helps provide additional enrichment when birds scrape and chew the block.

Calcium deficiency can be a problem for pet birds, and they can easily become deficient in calcium, so it's important to provide calcium-rich food 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 with a seed-only diet and that do not receive mineral supplements will be deficient in calcium, phosphorus, sodium and other elements. Calcium works together with phosphorus and magnesium to aid stronger bone growth and normal function of nerves, brain, and muscles.
