Strolling the yard
I never have but since my sons little budgies and tiel chew up these pretty regular.I never thought that maybe the greenies might chew one too.
mine go threw them so fast i cant keep them either but i havent found anyone to buy bulk from on them i ben getting mine from a feed store there a dollor a piece id love to buy bulk insted thoBirds need cuttle bones in their cages rather they use them or not - You may not always see them use it, but they will use it when they need it!
My original group didn't touch theirs for at least 8 months after I got them, now i can't keep them supplied we buy them in bulk Because We go through at least 2 a week PER bird cage I roughly have 20 cages!
drs. foster and smith is where we buy ours

thank you
i know some birdies thats going to be happy when i order them
i do that some times drilling the holes but i was using string lol but i will check into the wire and do that
Your welcome
Also we drill a hole in the center of them and attach them to the cage with Stainless steel picture wire
Works so much better than the store bought holders Or the little flimsy metal ones a single store bought cuttle bone comes with and MOST defiantly works better than clothes pin - some are so thick a clothes pin(even thick plastic ones) snap in half trying to attack it to the cage lol
They'll also stand on them and it helps keep the nails trimmed and they will also wipe their beaks on them just like perches and that helps trim the beak - so its not just them eating the cuttle bone itself that is helpful its just having it there for them to use as a grooming aid as well.Wow I guess I will get the conures some cuttlebones then.I do hate those holders they always get loose and the cuttles fall off..Even if they just play with them its a rather inexpensive cool toy...Thanks
For all of you whose Conures don't like them... you can try the cuttle perch. That's what I use for my GCC and he LOVES it. He wont even touch a regular cuttlebone in his cage but he loves the perch. The minute I put it in his cage he was all over it, licking it and scraping his beak across it.
