Psittacus Silex Bird Grit 1.5kg Coarse

This product is indicated for birds with a marked granivorous specialization, especially parrots 

This sand is calibrated to the optimum measure to be ingested by these birds (1.5 mm).

Its consumption is essential to ensure optimal functioning of the gizzard and the digestive system in general.

Its function is purely mechanical and should not be confused with calcium grits, which have a nutritional function as a source of calcium. Contrary to what happens with calcium grits, grit flint is insoluble and does not dissolve in the gizzard due to the action of gastric acids. In the absence of a contribution of flint grit, it may happen that the birds ingest the calcium grits in a substitute way in search of a mechanical action that will not occur completely, causing collaterally a potentially harmful hypercalcemia.
