Empty string

Its features: this sand is calibrated to the optimal size for the particles ingested by these small birds (0.8 - 1.2 mm). Suitable for canaries, wild finches, small finches. Its consumption is necessary to ensure optimal performance of the gizzards and the digestive system in general. The function of Silex Grit is purely mechanical and should not be confused with calcium grit, which has a nutritional function as a calcium source. Unlike calcium grit, flint stones are insoluble and do not dissolve in the crop due to the action of stomach acids. In the absence of supplies of flint stones, birds may swallow calcium grit in a compensatory way in search of a mechanical action that will not occur at all. Excess calcium grit consumption can lead to harmful hypercalcemia. It is recommended to provide flint stones freely to the birds in a separate feeding unit. The amount consumed depends on the dietary characteristics and the level of granule specialization of the species. Pure granular species have the highest requirements for mechanical grit (insoluble). Composition: calibrated silica sand to 0.8-1.2 mm (silicon dioxide). Analytical components: moisture 5.0%, crude ash 95.0%.
