General Information: The Secret of Cuttlebone - Cuttlebone, the internal shell of a Cuttlefish contains the highest amount of natural calcium plus phosphates, as well as many other important trace minerals. Cuttlebone has been used for well over a century to provide supplementary calcium for pet birds. Birds naturally crave its lime and salt flavor. Calcium is needed for strong bones, proper muscle functions, egg development, and for the prevention of health problems like egg binding. Polly's® Cuttlebone Perch is an incredible source of calcium.

Installation: This perch is edible and can be installed vertically or horizontally, as you and your bird desire. It should be installed at the highest possible position of the cage, or vertically on top of the cage.
Cleaning: Soak in clean water, brush lightly and rinse thoroughly.
Providing the variety of perches your bird needs is easy and inexpensive. A wide range of perches is available commercially, and you can also fashion a number of suitable perches from natural materials.
Perches, available in many diameters, lengths, and shapes for your particular bird species have many advantages. Offer a variety of perches to provide plenty of exercise and relieve boredom.
Several furnishings are needed for the cage. These include perches, dishes, grooming supplies, nest box, cage cover, and toys. Ensure that when accessories are in the cage that the bird still has plenty of room to fly and move around.
