our selection of Bird Care Products.
There are many bird care products available to prospective pet owners. Some items may seem frivolous while others have immediately recognizable uses. Unlike dogs and cats, birds have fewer items (like clothing) that are merely decoration; and more products that are important for their health and well being.
For instance, all birds have gizzards. A gizzard is roughly analogous to a stomach. However, instead of being a place to digest food with acid, it performs more of the functions that a mouth would in humans. In most birds, a gizzard contains gravel that is used to break up food to be passed to the true stomach. What you may not know, is that birds kept in captivity must have gravel available to ensure proper functioning of their gizzard. This is just one of the bird care products a good pet owner will need to have.
Food is probably the most obvious bird care product out there, but what you may not know is that birdseed doesn’t provide adequate nutrients for an average bird. Birdseed is fine to put out for wild birds because they can supplement their diet with insects, fruit, or nectar. But for a bird in captivity, you need to add suet, fruit, and other forms of protein in addition to the basic nutrients provided by birdseed.
