i have cuttle fish tied up in all sections, it is easaly available at all times for the birds to peck at, 1, gives them somthing to do, 2, most importantly stops the hens from laying blemished eggs, evan more so soft shelled eggs, it is pure calcium. Basketball

I think that's would work no problem.
the birds will just peck at the soft part of the cuttle bone.
just like the canaries would do.

Its great stuff for the pigeons ;but if you pick it up on the beach ;wash it in fresh water & place in the sun for a few day's before giving to the birds ; cheers
