Bird Health and Wellness

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.
