Do large birds need mineral blocks?

[aether-drifter]

I always see them recommended for small birds, but never large ones. Surely calcium and minerals are important to all birds, though? What's the best way to make sure my galah gets her daily dose? She does eat pellets, mash and will nibble on veggie and fruit skewers.

I don't give Chili any mineral blocks or stuff like that- with all the variety of foods she eats it's not really necessary IMO.....my budgies have cuttlebones though because their diet isn't as varied as chili's.
