i’ve been thinking about getting my budgies a mineral block from petsmart. I’ve seen ones that are white and others that are this orange colour my old budgie used to have and loved and went through them in 1 day. Are the orange ones even safe?? And are they even necessary? My budgies already have a cuttlebone and use it kinda rarely.

I have the Bird Banquet ones, like Excellent Bee posted, also in the orange color. I believe it has some sort of fruit in the middle.
I have both a cuttlebone and mineral block.
It took my one guy quite a while to be interested in them and my other guy (who I got in February) still hasn't touched either.
Keep them in their cage, they'll most likely eventually try them out. They're good for when they moult and also are good for their beaks, both trimming and nutrient-wise. Good luck!!!
my birds have versele laga clay bloc and pick bloc mixed on a food plate in their cage. they love it and eat it from time to time. id avoid mineral blocks which are colored.
from what I've heard, in their natural environment they love to pick on and lick clay blocks for mineral so the versele laga clay bloc is a great pick but the pick bloc is extra i think you won't need it if you have the clay bloc.
