Manu Mineral Block Small

Let me quite the information on the package of this product:"Manu mineral blocks contain the same minerals found in the natural Manu River river deposits. The wild birds flock to ingest the Manu River's natural mineral-rich clay.""High on the banks of the Manu River, flowing from the foothills of Peru's Andes to the mighty Amazon, wild birds flock to ingest the river's natural mineral-rich clay."All I can say is that my birds (three cockatiels) love it and seem to grind down these mineral blocks regularly. One of my cockatiels is a female who lays lots of eggs, so it makes me feel good to know that I'm providing this for her! I think -- from the look of it -- it must contain a good amount of calcium. But ask your vet about this, because I'm not sure. I also provide my birds with plenty of cuttlebone, as well.

Too small for me

Size of this mineral block is small. My birds loved it right away and turned it to dust. So I have to say that I rate it high in entertainment value, but low in $$$ value. Expensive for the size and ease of destruction.

Parrots don’t chew on fish bones in the wild. They do however visit clay deposits on the banks of the river for their minerals. So this is a much more natural way for your bird to help themselves to the minerals they need.

Absolutely love this. It last no more than 3-4 days and I only have 3 cockatiels. So here I am once again buying more. They are in an outdoor aviary and the oldest “Ba” is 14/15. Proud of momma Ba.

The mineral block fell apart when I opened it. I didn’t even get to use it!

Bird loved it but only last 3 days

This mineral block is very soft. It can be broken with your hand. It seems to have a good flavor but it's very small and they use wires as the attachment. It would not last with my Macaw or Indian Ringneck so I gave it to my budgie.
