"All Purpose" Sand OK??

[devora]

I know they like sand for bathing, is 'all purpose' safe? My sweetie just bought a 70 lb. bag of the stuff, so I sure hope it's OK.

Also, if I have sand in there do they still need grit, or is it the same thing? They free range like mad and seem to spend all day eating dirt!

no...sand will not replace grit...if they DO eat it it will often cause crop problems (they normally dont though if their is a source of grit available). I use the natural anise scented type for cage birds and my birdies always smell so good from it
