My parakeets didn’t really use this at all so whatever I have left, I will be donating to a rescue that has a need. Not saying that it’s bad my two parakeets just didn’t have any interest in it.

I add a pinch of this Grit in my Parakeet's food everyday. It contains calcium which is an important part of her nutritional requirements. And, she always eats every speck of it! She loves it. This bag lasts a long time, and the price on Chewy can't be beat! I highly recommend that you try adding a this to your bird's diet. Your feathered friend will love you for it.

A little calcium boost!

I mix in about 1 Tbsp of this with 1 pound of a food mix I make, so they don't get a lot. I like knowing that they have an extra source of calcium available to them. It smells like anise/licorice which I usually hate but this isn't too bad.

My sparrow requires grit to be on hand, and this is lovely. I am a fangirl for the Higgins brand and this is another product I will only buy from them. Quality is consistent and I never worry about contamination.
