Today it is not as readily available, but it is an indispensable product that should be bought when acquiring a new companion bird. We recommend to always have activated charcoal on-hand, in your avian first aid kit in case of accidental ingestion of a toxin. There is no contraindication to giving a small amount of activated charcoal, which is often what a veterinary hospital would do upon suspicion of the bird having ingested a paint flake, lead or another toxic substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much activated carbon does a bird need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBird charcoal is not something that companion birds will eat on a regular basis. Charcoal should be offered inside of the cage in small quantities. It’s an excellent digestive aid. If a bird never touches it, it is not an issue however, if a bird starts to consume it readily, then this can be a signal that perhaps the bird trying to combat parasites, pathogenic bacteria in the gut , or it could be an indication that something is going on in the bird’s body that is not quite healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBird Charcoal is a little bit like a barometer for caretakers to see if there is anything that the bird is perhaps lacking or fighting – a little bit like crushed Oyster Shells, as this too should always be made readily available for companion birds to consume as needed. Chronic egg layers, such as a love birds or cockatiels will start to consume a large amount of Oysters Shells, prior to laying an egg. This could again help caretakers gauge if their bird is preparing to lay eggs, therefore requiring more calcium in its diet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBirds should have access to HARI Charcoal as needed.
