Granulated Floorcovering · 2.5–5 mm
Mineral floor granules made from zeolite-clinoptilolite, sold for pigeon-loft bedding. The manufacturer describes moisture and ammonia absorption. This is floorcovering, not food, nutritional grit, a calcium supplement or a medication for birds.
Manufacturer reference checked; published target is pigeonsUse, quantities & practical tips
Quantity / label reference
Manufacturer PIGEON-LOFT surface reference: 0.5–2 kg per m² after cleaning. This is a floor application amount, never a bird feeding dose.
Dry bedding is a surface product, not food
- 01
Clean and dry
Remove birds and feeding equipment. Clean the empty floor tray and let it dry before applying a dry bedding product.
- 02
Follow the surface label
Use the manufacturer’s surface-application instructions. Do not mix floorcovering into feed or drinking water, and do not infer a finch amount from a pigeon-loft rate.
- 03
Maintain the surface
Keep feeding and drinking equipment separate from bedding. Monitor dampness, soiling, dust and possible ingestion; replace or clean as the actual product instructions require.
Concept illustration, not a layer-thickness specification or approval for every finch cage. The Beyers manufacturer reference targets pigeon lofts; confirm suitability for the intended housing.
- What it provides
- Absorbent environmental floor bedding.
- When to consider it
- Evaluate whether loose mineral bedding suits the specific indoor cage; a removable paper floor can make daily dropping checks easier.
- Intended birds / scope
- Pigeon-loft floor; finch cage suitability needs a separate assessment.
- How it is given
- Spread on the cleaned floor, not in food or drinking water.
- Frequency / duration
- After cleaning according to the housing plan; inspect and remove soiled or wet material rather than relying on absorption alone.
- Preparation
- Remove birds from dust exposure during handling; clean and dry the surface first.
- Combining products
- Do not mix into seed, egg food or mineral dishes.
- Storage & handling
- Manufacturer pack image: store cool and dry; retain batch and printed expiry.
- Breeder tips
- An air purifier does not replace ventilation and source control of dust or ammonia.

Natural zeolite-clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin, CAS 12173-10-3. Granule size 2.5–5 mm; manufacturer pack reference 20 kg.
Use & compatibility notes
Keep separate from feed and mineral dishes. Bedding does not replace removal of droppings, cleaning or ventilation. Assess dust, ingestion risk and the ability to inspect droppings before choosing it for small indoor finch cages.
The stated absorption benefits and application amount relate to pigeon-loft bedding, not a species-wide health guarantee.
