I have a question regarding cuttlebone vs. mineral block. I've always used cuttlebone for my birds but for my 4 month old tiel, I've bought a pinkish mineral block. Does this supply enough calcium as well as the other minerals? By the way, she is on Harrison's pellets, people (sugar free or low sugar) cereals, carrots, brocoli, kale and trying out mixed veggies.

Susan,
It appears that with the pelleted diet, suplemented with the veggies and
cuttlebone or mineral block, you are doing all the right things to insure as
balanced a diet as possible is provided.
Cereals are high in salt so I'd just provide them as an occasional treat.
