On the plural in the name

It is sold as Mineral Blocks, and what we have been given is a single weight and a single set of dimensions, so whether that is one block or several is genuinely unclear from the packaging information. Nor is there any analysis: the minerals are listed but not quantified, so there is no calcium or iodine percentage to compare against another brand. No hanging clip or wire is described either.

Why we chose it

Cheap lines like this get forgotten until somebody is already at the counter, which is exactly why it stays on the shelf. That is exactly why it is worth having on the shelf rather than making somebody order it separately.

— Matt, founder

Full description

A wild bird finds grit and minerals by going and looking for them. A caged bird cannot, so anything of that sort has to be put in front of it, hung on the bars where it can get at it whenever it wants rather than offered in a dish once a week.

That is what this is: a solid block combining varying types of grit with sea algae, calcium, soluble minerals, trace elements and iodine. It hangs directly onto cage bars, so it takes up no floor space and does not get tipped over or scattered. The item measures 45 x 45 x 25mm and weighs 54g, and Little Friends list it for canaries, budgies, and European and Tropical finches.

On the plural in the name. It is sold as Mineral Blocks, and what we have been given is a single weight and a single set of dimensions, so whether that is one block or several is genuinely unclear from the packaging information. Nor is there any analysis: the minerals are listed but not quantified, so there is no calcium or iodine percentage to compare against another brand. No hanging clip or wire is described either.

Who it's for: keepers of budgies, canaries or finches who want the mineral side covered without adding another dish to the cage, and anyone setting a cage up from scratch.
