Your pet bird has a predisposed appetite for Calcium Montmorillonite. All birds eat earth and stones using a special stomach called the "gizzard" which uses gritty stones to masticate food.

When birds in captivity get sick, research shows that they hide their illnesses from their owners until their condition is advanced, often up to 2 weeks.

Nutramin prevents and helps resolve common bird illnesses:

Removes intestinal parasites
Restores appetite and soothes digestion
Sprinkle in the cage to help detoxify droppings
* Proven in several studies to improve the overall health of birds and animals.

In Peru, parrots eat clay regularly for precisely the effect of neutralizing poisons found in some edible plants and seeds. This phenomenon was confirmed by Dr. James Gilardi at the University of California Davis.

Charles Munn found that all vertebrates of the Amazon eat silicate clay for minerals, including parrots and many other species:

Pigeons (Tambopata)
Caracids (Guans, Chachalacas, Curassows, Tambopata)
Cockatoos
Cassowary
Crow
Hornbill
Game birds (quails, chickens, turkeys and relatives)
Others
Birds sense that health problems arise when their mineral inventory is not in the right proportion. In a published, peer-reviewed study, Turkeys fed a diet that included ION-MIN consistently improved nutrient retention and protein formation.
