Health and Hygiene Benefits
This white shell sand is not just decorative; it serves an important biological purpose. The tiny pieces of oyster shells act as natural grinding stones in your bird's gizzard, which is essential for digesting seeds properly. Additionally, high-temperature sterilization ensures that bacteria and fungi are kept at bay.
