This sand is calibrated to the optimal particle size to be ingested by these small birds (0.8 – 1.2 mm).

Suitable for canaries, wild finches, estrildid finches and small psittacines.

Its consumption is essential to guarantee optimal functioning of the gizzard and the digestive system in general.

The function of the Silex Grit is purely mechanical and should not be confused with calcium grits, which have a nutritional function as a source of calcium. Contrary to what happens with calcium grits, flint grit is insoluble and does not dissolve in the gizzard due to the action of gastric acids. In the absence of a supply of flint grit, birds may ingest calcium grits in a compensatory way searching for a mechanical action that will not completely occur. The consumption of calcium grit in excess may lead to potentially harmful hypercalcemia.

It is recommended to make flint grit freely available to birds in a separate feeder. The amount consumed will depend on the characteristics of the diet and the level of granivorous specialization that the species has. Pure granivorous species have the highest requirements of mechanical (insoluble) grit.
