What is it?
Fine Oystershell Grit is the ground up shells of oysters which is an excellent source of soluble and non-soluble calcium.

How does it help?
Birds need grits in their digestive tract to help grind up their food and aid digestion and nutritional uptake. In addition, birds’ diets are often poor in calcium, for example sunflower hearts and peanuts are low in calcium, and calcium is needed for optimal bird health.

Grits help digest food but soluble calcium is also absorbed by the body leading to stronger bone strength, muscle development and crucially, boosts eggshell quality.

Add a generous pinch of Fine Oystershell Grit each time you’re filling your feeders and your birds will appreciate your care.

Sean says:
“Modern gardens do not offer many chances for birds to find natural sources of soluble calcium. Combined with the poor phosphorous to calcium balance in many bird foods, adding fine oystershell grit is a sensible and safe option.”

Contains:
Oystershell.

Not for human consumption. May contain nuts or nut oils.

Helpful – Caring – Responsible

When Sean McMenemy started Noah’s Ark Wildlife Gardens as a landscaping business back in 1991, little did he know what a huge impact he was to make on the bird feeding and garden wildlife industries over the following decades.

Over 30-years later he still brings the same passion for garden wildlife to work every day, so it’s no wonder we’re so highly respected. Our expertise lies in providing carefully selected natural food and products that offer significant benefits to wildlife – with the type of customer service only true enthusiasm for our subject can bring.

Meeting a demand for natural, nutritious wildlife food

In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.

The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 parcels per day across the United Kingdom.

Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words

No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.
