WATER: Water is required for all living things. Birds not only require water to replace lost body fluids, but also need water for general grooming and health -- birdbaths. Clean birdbaths frequently.
GRIT: Birds cannot chew. The bird's gizzard helps grind up seeds for digestion. Grit can be purchased and added to regular food or can be fed in a separate feeder.
