| So. I know its normal to give cuttlebone to birds. But is it OK to give any other kind of bone?
For instance; I have a caribou bone I found. And am in the process of sterilizing and cleaning. It is an old, old bone. No marrow. No organic matter left. Is this OK to give to Jack as a chew toy? | |

| Don't really see why not if it's sterilized. I give my birds cooked chicken, pork and beef bones. | |

| Cleaned and sterilized I don't see why this would be an issue. | |

| Time to traumatize the poor boy with a bone bigger than he is. | |
