Importance of Proper Litter and Cage Linings

Bird litter and sand play an important role in maintaining a clean and healthy living environment for your feathered friends. Using appropriate materials at the base of your birds cage helps to absorb moisture and control odors, making your bird's habitat more comfortable and hygienic. We suggest using Super White Sand for the base of your birds cage, as a super easy and safe way to clean your bird cage. Place a thick layer of the fine, white silica sand in your birds tray and scoop out any droppings or debris with a coarse fish net. This is not only extremely fast and cost effective, but it also keeps the area cleaner and hygienic for the bird. Other options for litter include, wood pulp, wood and paper pellets, straw and sand paper sheets.

The Importance of Grit for Birds

Providing grit is crucial for your bird's digestive health. Birds do not have teeth to chew their food and instead rely on grit to properly digest and break down their food, which is vital for absorbing nutrients. Shell grit and grit mixes also provide a good source of calcium and minerals which is necessary, especially in breeding birds. Foraging for grit also mimics the natural foraging behaviour of birds, providing mental stimulation and health benefits. Providing grit is an essential part of a balanced diet for many birds. At Pet Shop Direct, we offer a variety of grit options tailored to meet the needs of different bird species.
