judygram Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't provide one for Josey, but not sure about it, I know you do provide one for some of the smaller birds, like keets and finches. Maybe some of the other members has more information they will share with us, Toni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 HI Toni, Cuttle bones are not needed, if you provide sufficient vitamin and mineral fortified mixes or pellets and also good green veggies like Broccoli, Spinach, Collard Greens...all them greens . :-) Too much Calcium can detrimentally affect Grey's organs and has been noted by veterinarian's where people were adding supplements to water and food. Hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 We all learn a lot from Dan, and I am going to learn more for I am going to pick his brain very soon, I need his help with something.

Talon Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Nice work Dan as always. Give yourself a pat on the back!! Talon does have a cuttle bone, and likes to chew on it occasionally. I think she needs the calcium, as she's not big on veggies still. So I keep it in her play cage for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
