See What we have purchased for the Birds in the Aviary of Kechara - lots of cuttlebone, millet sprays and colourful toys! ** Cuttlebone is the internal shell of the cuttlefish which is light weight, oblong chalky made of calcium as supplement to the bird's diet. It also helps wearing down overgrown beaks of the birds. It is kept in the aviary to promote beak and jaw. ** Birds are seed junkies and millet spray provides the birds with high nutrition in protein, vitamins and minerals. They are also low in fat and high in fiber. Millet has phosphorus, calcium, iron, niacin, and riboflavin. ** Toys - Birds are intelligent animals and need mental stimulation. Bored or unhappy birds may start chewing and plucking out their own feathers, stripping themselves bare. A depressed bird may refuse to eat and starve to death. Creative and bird safe toys are needed for bird's social and physical well-being. Toys offer them varied engaging activities like chewing, climbing, beak trimming, preening and exploration.
