Hiya all
I was talking to a man who also breeds birds and he said the best thing to put on outside flight is sand on top of pavings, does anyone else use this?

I wouldn't do that. It can easily go into their food and water.

Sand can be a breeding ground for insects. It can also causes irritation to eyes. Trust me we have plenty here  |

Also that budgies require soluble grit and not insoluble.

I wouldn't bother using sand in an outside flight. I simply have solid floor tiles that have been grouted and the flight gets washed out once a week or more often in warm weather.
