Cuttlebone is an important dietary supplement for birds because it is a great source of necessary minerals and calcium, which helps birds with bone formation and blood clotting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCuttlebone is an inexpensive source of calcium carbonate and other trace minerals for your bird. It is a natural product and doesn't contain toxins or contaminants. On the other hand, most artificial mineral blocks are made from Plaster of Paris. It is also important to know that the artificial mineral blocks contain whatever the manufacturer added; this could be food coloring or seed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar to calcium, trace elements are crucial for both people and birds. The trace elements found within cuttlebone benefit birds, as well. Iron aids with red blood cell formation and function, Potassium maintains normal heart and muscle activity, Zinc helps with the immune system, and Copper assists with proper circulation and healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBesides being an important dietary supplement, cuttlebone has a rough texture, making it an ideal tool to help support beak strength. Birds can use cuttlebones to help keep their beaks trimmed and sharp. Even finches and canaries will often improve their beak health if you provide them with cuttlebone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions: How to Put Cuttlebone in a Cage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHang he cuttlebone in your bird's cage for your bird to chew on. Make sure that the soft side of the cuttlebone is facing the bird because the hard side might be too hard to scrape through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll birds need calcium, but not all birds will eat normal cuttlebone. While most parrots will chew up cuttlebone, birds such as mynahs or toucans will not eat it in its raw form. However, you can simply scrape cuttlebone into their soft-food mix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEco-friendly and healthy.
