Mineral blocks are for show

[Fagan]

Hi me again,

I have 2 mineral blocks in my ringnecks cage, and put them there when i bought her. I have never seen her even attempt to nibble on these blocks. Is there a way that i can just temp her to try. Anybody have any tricks or suggestions. And how can i substitute minerals that she obviously needs

Not all birds will touch the mineral blocks unless they need them, One way you can get minerals into her diet is through putting grit in with her seed or oyster shell these have minerals that are in mineral blocks apart from they do not contain iodine.
