    Seed Eaters and Grit

    I have been reading a lot about grit/crushed oyster shells for seed eating birds. Some books say that it is fine for budgies but larger birds do not need it.
    I know a lot of you guys have seed eating birds and I wanted to know what you do with your birds?

    I ate a handful of nice grit with my eggs this morning. Breasts http://www.littletinywit.com/Column_11022002.html - Cartoons and Beer

    I`ve fed grit to all my birds for over 20 years, guess what? Not 1 single death or ilness due to grit!! Works for me, but not for everyone. Ray. www.BirdsUK.co.uk
