CalciYummy: The new wholesome nourishment for British birds
Bill Oddie is full of praise for the new natural bird food called CalciYummy as it incorporates the best of his nutritional bird food recipes which are healthier than ever for birds beaks, bones, eggs and tummies. Now many of you will be asking what’s CalciYummy?” as Bill himself explains it is a super clean and yummy formula that he has formulated to improve the health of garden birds across the UK.
Bill and his team of bird food specialists are constantly focusing on the health, the welfare and the conservation of the British bird, and are playing a huge part in this by improving their diets.
The research and development team have said that they have only recently discovered the scientific evidence that supports the importance of calcium in a birds diet. This includes the functions of skeletal development, nerve and muscle contraction, controlling metabolic processes and the production of top quality and well shelled eggs.
Because calcium is essential in a bird’s diet, Bill’s team has been focusing on ways to make it more accessible to wild birds and – importantly, at what levels, as they know they’ll fluctuate during the year, during the breeding season for example.
A diet that’s insufficient in calcium can mean deficiencies in skeletal development, egg production and other important bodily functions can result. Young birds that are calcium-deficient can grow abnormally, leading to bowing or fractures in bones. Not a pleasant thought.
However, a diet that’s adequate in calcium is likely to lead to:
- Better skeletal development
- Larger broods
- Higher fledgling success
- Eggs with correct shell thickness and less likely to break
- Optimal body condition in adults
- Calcium also helps provide roughage
All Bill’s Bird Food Recipes are now adequate in calcium, just in time for winter.
“CalciYummy,” Bill mouths playfully in a Lancashire accent. “Please don’t be fooled by its playful name,” explains Bill. “We’re ALWAYS serious about nature conservation. It’s 100% natural and it’s good for birds. So next time you’re filling your feeder, think of this: to stop egg shells from being thin – you’re putting CalciYummy in!”
