Product description
Produced by a family-owned Oregon company established in 1983, this offering comes as a pack of three circular mineral blocks, each about 2.5 inches in diameter.
Formulated primarily as a calcium source, the composition is roughly 96% calcium, 3% other minerals and 1% vitamins. The ingredient mix is all-natural and the product is made without artificial colors or added sulfites (SO₂).
Intended to be placed or hung in a bird's enclosure, the blocks act as both a dietary supplement and a beak-rubbing surface. Birds peck and rasp the blocks to ingest calcium and trace nutrients; regular use supports skeletal strength, nail and beak condition, feather health, and helps reduce the occurrence of soft-shelled eggs.
Pros
- Very high calcium content for egg and bone support
- All-natural ingredients; no artificial colors or sulfites
- Three compact 2.5-inch blocks convenient for small cages
Cons
- Diameter may be small for larger parrot species
- Limited range of added trace minerals and vitamins
- Blocks will wear away and require periodic replacement
VerdictA straightforward calcium supplement and beak conditioner in a convenient 3-count set. The very high calcium proportion is geared toward birds that need extra shell and bone support, and the natural makeup avoids artificial dyes and sulfites. The compact 2.5-inch size is practical for many small to medium birds, though larger species may wear them too quickly.
