Grit is important for birds because birds don't have teeth. They depend on the grinding action of the grit in their gizzards to break down their food so that they can digest it.

For a Pet Cockatiel should you use bird sand and if so how is it used?
Bird sand or some type of bird grit is a must for cockatiels, as they need it to help them digest their food. All you need to do is sprinkle a small handful on the bottom of their cage whenever you change the paper (at least once a week). An alternative is to get some sand and grit, mix it in a feeding bowl, and keep it on the side of the cage, near their normal seed bowl.
