Bird Grit 500g is a vital dietary supplement used by domestic, aviary, and wild birds to aid digestion and provide essential minerals. Because birds lack teeth, they swallow seeds, grains, and kernels whole. Grit acts as a mechanical substitute for chewing, allowing birds to thoroughly break down hard foods and fully absorb their nutritional value. UK bird grit mixtures typically fall into two main functional categories, which are often blended together into a single product.
Insoluble Grit: This consists of small, hard, non-digestible stones like flint or granite. It travels directly to the bird’s gizzard (a highly muscular part of the stomach). As the gizzard contracts, these sharp stones grind down hard seeds and fibrous material into an easily digestible paste, preventing painful conditions like an impacted crop
