Supplementary bird food
A seed mix alone may not always provide all the nutrients pet birds need. Supplementary bird food can help add essential minerals, calcium, iodine and other nutrients to their daily diet. Whether you keep parrots, budgies or smaller cage birds, choosing the right supplements depends on their species and regular food.
At Grenze Markt, you'll find mineral blocks, beak conditioning stones, supplementary seed mixes and liquid vitamin supplements. Vitakraft offers options containing iodine, fish oil or honey to add variety to your birds' diet.

How to choose the right supplements for your pet birds
Different bird species have different nutritional needs, so not every supplement is necessary for every diet. When choosing supplementary bird food, consider your bird's species, its regular diet and the nutrients each product contains. This helps you avoid unnecessary supplementation or giving too much of the same nutrient.
Depending on your birds' needs, there are three main types of products to consider:
- Mineral blocks and cuttlebones: Provide minerals, particularly calcium, while giving birds a surface to peck and naturally wear down their beaks.
- Supplementary seed mixes: Blends with added iodine, oils or other nutrients can bring variety to your birds' diet. Follow the feeding instructions and use them alongside, rather than instead of, a balanced staple food.
- Liquid vitamins and mineral supplements: Some products can be added to drinking water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always follow the recommended dosage and avoid combining supplements with overlapping ingredients.
For additional minerals and natural beak care, Trixie offers mineral blocks and beak conditioning stones. Versele-Laga also provides mineral blocks and grit for different bird species. Choosing suitable supplements alongside a balanced staple diet helps you meet your birds' individual nutritional needs.
