This recipe is from one of my Australian National Cockatiel Society newsletters.
Ingredients: equal parts of,
Plaster of paris (available at craft shops or Pharmacy)
Calcium Carbonate (my vet got this for me)
Instructions:
Instructions: Mix these together with enough water to make mixture similar to pouring custard (dont have it too wet). Pour into containers/molds and add a piece of wire shaped like a U. Have about 2" protruding from the top, this is used to attach the block to something in the aviary. For molds you can use plastic cups, muffin tins, empty fast food containers. Allow to dry before removing from the mold.

You can also add your own vitamin or minerals or maybe a little grit to this mix. note: the calcium MUST be "calcium carbonate".
