Using this cuttlebone is easy. Just hang it in your bird's cage where it can easily reach. Keep an eye on your bird to make sure it's using the cuttlebone. If your bird seems uninterested, try moving it to a different spot. Replace the cuttlebone when it gets too small or worn out. Store it in a dry place to keep it fresh. And always make sure your bird has access to fresh water while using the cuttlebone.
