Trixie bird limestone with shells 200 g – mineral supplement for birds

Trixie bird limestone with shells 200 g is a mineral supplement for pet birds formulated to provide calcium and trace minerals in a loose granular form. The product combines limestone granules with crushed shell fragments to create an accessible, peckable source of dietary calcium suitable for cage and aviary birds as well as breeding birds that need additional mineral support for bone health and eggshell formation.

Advantages

This loose limestone mix offers a convenient, natural-feeling source of calcium and minor minerals that birds can peck at as needed. The combination of limestone and shell fragments supports beak maintenance and contributes to stronger eggshells in laying birds. Its granular texture makes it easy to offer in trays, grit dispensers or attached mineral holders in cages and aviaries.

Suitable for

• Pet parrots, parakeets, canaries and finches
• Breeding pairs and laying hens kept as aviary or cage birds
• Birds that need supplemental calcium for bone development or eggshell quality
• Aviary and cage environments where loose mineral supplements are preferred

When it may not be suitable

Not all bird species require the same level of supplemental calcium; species with low calcium needs or birds on a complete, fortified pellet diet may not benefit from additional limestone. Over-supplementation can be a concern if birds already receive adequate calcium from their main diet, so use according to dietary needs and veterinary advice.

Key specifications

• Form: loose granular limestone mixed with crushed shell fragments
• Net weight: 200 g
• Main nutrients: calcium and trace minerals
• Suitable delivery: for trays, grit dispensers or fixed mineral holders

How to use

Place the Trixie bird limestone in a clean dish or grit container inside the cage or aviary where birds can access it freely. Replace the product regularly to keep it dry and free from contamination. Offer alongside a balanced diet; monitor consumption to ensure birds are using the supplement and adjust availability if necessary. For breeding or laying birds, provide continuous access during the breeding and laying seasons or as advised by a veterinarian.

What to consider before purchase

• Assess your bird species’ calcium requirements and current diet composition
• Check whether a complete pellet diet already supplies sufficient calcium
• Plan for where and how the loose granules will be offered in the cage or aviary
• Consult a veterinarian if your bird has a specific health condition or special dietary needs

Usage recommendations

Provide free access in a clean container and monitor intake; avoid combining with other high-calcium supplements unless directed by a veterinarian. Keep the product stored dry and out of reach of children.
