Bird Cage Sand

Description

Collection only, £2.50 

Bird Cage Sand 2.5kg , is a specialized, superfine substrate used on the floor of cages and aviaries to promote hygiene and support avian digestive health. In the UK, it is highly favored by bird keepers because it simplifies cleaning while offering vital health benefits to various bird species. 

• Aids Digestion: Most bird sands are blended with crushed oyster shell or tonic grit. Birds ingest these small particles to help grind down heavy seeds in their gizzards, facilitating nutrient absorption. 
• Nutritional Enrichment: The oyster shells act as a natural source of calcium and essential trace minerals. This supports strong bone structure, general vitality, and healthy eggshell formation. 
• Natural Grooming & Baths: The fine texture supports instinctive dust bathing behaviors. This absorbs excess oils from the feathers to prevent them from becoming matted or greasy. Walking on the grit also naturally wears down sharp claws. 
• Easy Maintenance: Sand clusters efficiently around waste and controls odours, making the cage base simple to scoop out or replace entirely every few days
