There is some debate about the benefits of using bird gravel or bird grit; check with an avian vet if you are considering adding it to your pet's diet. Some birds may naturally consume a little gravel to aid in digestion; however, there are health risks involved with feeding bird gravel to captive birds that you should learn more about before providing them to your pet. Make sure that you provide a high quality
bird food - they often contain beneficial digestive bacteria, or you can add supplements that do.
