Product Description
Crushed Seep Shells: The Natural Boost Your Feathered Friend Deserves
Give your bird the gift of natural vitality with our pure Crushed Seep Shells. More than just grit, this all-natural supplement is a powerhouse of essential calcium and minerals, supporting everything from strong bones to efficient digestion. It’s a simple, trusted way to help your bird thrive, naturally.
Why Your Bird Will Love These Shells
Think of crushed seep shells as a daily multi-vitamin and digestive aid, all in one! Birds don't have teeth, so they rely on grit in their gizzard to help break down the food they eat. Our carefully cleaned and crushed shells provide the perfect gritty material to aid this process, ensuring your bird gets the most nutrition from their regular meals.
But that's not all. These shells are packed with readily available calcium, a crucial mineral often lacking in seed-based diets. This calcium is the building block for robust bone structure, a powerful beak, and, for breeding females, strong eggshells that protect developing chicks.
How to Use This Natural Supplement
Using our crushed seep shells is incredibly easy. We recommend offering them in a separate, clean dish inside your bird's cage. This allows your bird to self-regulate and consume the grit as their body needs it.
-
Frequency: Provide access to the shells at all times or refresh the dish 2-3 times a week.
-
Quantity: A shallow layer covering the bottom of a small dish is sufficient.
-
Tip: Ensure your bird always has access to fresh, clean water, especially when consuming grit.

Key Benefits
Providing crushed seep shells is one of the simplest and most effective ways to support your bird's long-term health. The benefits are truly foundational. Firstly, the calcium content is a game-changer for skeletal health, ensuring your bird has a strong frame to support an active and playful life. It also directly contributes to the strength and durability of their beak, which is essential for eating, climbing, and exploring.
For those with breeding birds, this product is indispensable. It helps female birds produce eggs with strong, resilient shells, significantly reducing the risk of egg-binding and other complications, leading to healthier clutches and more robust chicks.
Beyond calcium, the shells serve a critical role in digestion. By helping to mechanically break down whole seeds in the gizzard, the grit ensures your bird's system can efficiently access the vitamins and energy locked inside their food. This leads to better overall nutrient uptake, which you'll see reflected in their energy levels, the sheen of their feathers, and their overall zest for life.
