Psittacus Calcium Grit Coarse 8kg

Psittacus Calcium Grit Coarse is a complementary mineral supplement formulated specifically for medium and large granivorous parrots. Designed to address the calcium shortfall that seed-based diets inherently carry, it gives birds direct access to a highly concentrated calcium source they can self-regulate according to their own requirements.

Why Calcium Grit Matters

Seed mixtures are well-documented for their poor calcium content, and the demand increases further during egg-laying and growth periods. Psittacus Calcium Grit Coarse delivers calcium at 49.3% concentration, making it one of the most direct ways to correct this dietary gap without reformulating the entire diet.

Self-Regulation and Feeding

Birds are naturally capable of adjusting their intake of calcium-rich foods in line with their physiological needs. Because of this, Psittacus Calcium Grit Coarse can be offered freely in a separate feeder at all times. It can also be mixed directly into the rest of the diet. Expected daily consumption sits between 0% and 2% of the dry diet.

Analytical Constituents

• Crude protein: 0.0%
• Crude oils and fats: 0.0%
• Calcium: 49.3%

Size and Format

Supplied in an 8kg format, this coarse-grade grit is suited to medium and large parrot species where a finer particle size would be inappropriate. The larger granule is sized to match the feeding behaviour and beak strength of bigger birds.

Psittacus Calcium Grit Coarse gives keepers a straightforward, evidence-backed way to support skeletal health, egg production, and growth in their birds — without disrupting an established diet.
