the argument over whether or not we should make grit available to our birds is one that I cannot see being answered anytime soon. some say make it available occasionly, others (like myself, have it available all the time) then there is the third group who say never give it to your birds.
really it comes down to personal choice, what you believe is best for your bird. here are a few links that will hopefully help some of us understand both sides of the arguement a little better. having read these articles myself I will still be giving my birds their grit (cuttlefish, charcoal, eggshells and oystershell. all crushed up together).
