What bird supplies do I need? This is the first question new bird parents ask themselves, and bird food and treats usually top the list, along with other essentials like a birdcage. But what’s the right diet for your bird? How can you ensure they’re getting balanced nutrition? And what about other health and wellness supplies, like mineral blocks and cuttlebones for birds?
FAQs About Bird Supplies
Pet birds don’t necessarily need supplements, although vitamins and minerals are an essential part of their diet. But it depends on their diet. Birds especially need vitamin A, E, D and B-complex to help them build healthy cells, eyes, bones and feathers. Birds that eat pellets may get enough of these vitamins through their food. However, many pet parents choose to add multivitamins to their bird supplies. Probiotics may also help improve their immune system and lower stress. Consult your veterinarian about which pet bird supplements are right for your bird.
Cuttlebones can help your bird keep their beak trim and provide extra calcium in their diet. Traditional cuttlebones come from the shell of a cuttlefish, and today’s options often enrich them with oyster shells, vitamins and flavors like honey, mango or banana. Not all birds like or use cuttlebones, but for those that do, it’s one of the most essential bird supplies.
Mineral blocks, also called calcium blocks, are an additional source of calcium for your bird and can also provide enrichment. They hang on the bars of your bird’s habitat so that they can snack or get some beak exercise whenever they feel the need. Along with cuttlebones, they’re one of the more popular bird supplies that can help your pet thrive.

Are these birbs healthy? Please dont give a vague response! :)
Is there any natural herb/supplement that can help a bird who is experiencing puffed up feathers and bloody droppings?
I own a green cheek conure he is less than a year old. He sometimes has warm feet and is coughing. Also about half of the time he has watery poop. And half of the time is puffed up. We don't have a bird doctor or anyone specialized in pet birds near us. What should I do to help him.
Do birds need shots
I want some tips to keep my budgies disease free.
What are the characteristics of a healthy bird? (Does she look healthy in this picture?)
Hey is there any spray to keep my birds feathers healthy please suggest?
Parakeet-puffed up, external constipation, dropped wings, curved keel, shortness of breath. Eats, and drinks. Is 5 yrs old. Sleeps a lot during past 2 days. did talk, but now wheezes! My vet isnt an avian vet! Suggest could be upper respiratory infection, needing antibiotics! Any help is welcomed! Thank you!
I recently started work at a care home for the elderly and one of our residents has a pet budgie. He does not seem very well at all, and I wondered if there was something I could do as the family refuse to take it to a vet. He does a lot of panting with clicking noises, has overly grown claws, a very dirty vent, and bites his own legs, feet, and feathers a lot but there is no obvious feather loss. This bird is not at all hand-tame, and will often attack me when I change its water or food.
hello . Thanks for this service My cockatiel experiences difficulty breathing once she flies for less than a minute or even half that. The other day, she collapsed in my hands after trying to cling onto a place she flies to regularly, she had to be ON my hand with wide open wings for a few minutes to grasp breaths! She took another 20 minutes to relax. She refused to drink from any colored water because it seems that she is paranoid from it!! I had to force her to take a little.
