Manu Mineral Block
Product Description
High on the banks of the Manu River, flowing from the foothills of Peru's Andes to the mighty Amazon, wild birds flock to eat the river's natural, mineral-rich clay. Now your pet bird can benefit from these mineral supplements.
Manu mineral blocks contain the same nine minerals in the same concentration as the natural mineral deposits. Just like the wild birds," pet birds also require these nine minerals.
That is why the Association of Avian Veterinarians recommends mineral supplements for all pet birds.
