Miss Peregrine Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We have always given our cockatiel and parakeets grit. We re-homed the cockatiel today and I offered some of our grit supply to our neighbor who has a cockatiel. (We still have 2 parakeets). She said she has never given grit to their bird. I looked it up and most of what I am reading is that it may actually be harmful? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
