Choose mineral treats wisely, so that you´re not "overdosing" your bird on excess calcium or other nutrients.
Things to Consider:
Benefits of Treat Toys – A treat toy, something that dispenses treats, is great way to provide tasty treats and intellectual stimulation for your bird.
Properly Measure Grit – If grit is your birds treat of choice, you should follow these guidelines: 1 teaspoon once or twice weekly for parrots; 1 ⁄ 4 teaspoon weekly for canaries, finches, and parakeets; and 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon once or twice weekly for cockatiels.
Keep Beak Healthy – A mineral treat, such as a cuttle bone, is a great way to help your bird keep his beak trim. You should be sure that the treat is attached firmly to the cage, so your bird can use it properly.
