I understand that birds on a healthy diet can have a mineral block as well as a cuttlebone, but they should never have added mineral vitamin supplements because that is too much and they can get a toxic overdose from that. Why is this exactly? Is it just because supplements have way too much vitamins/minerals than a mineral block does?

Because pelleted diets have plenty of vitamins and minerals in them. Adding MORE vitamins and minerals throws their diet out of balance. A cuttle bone to nibble or rub his beak on is fine.
you answered your own question. as for “grit”it helps with the grinding in the crop u did not ask bout that over dose can kill just like too many can cause a lot of damage in people here is a funny part nothing is told about fresh fruit and veggies with pellets well here is about them NO PELLETS with fresh stuff
