I have some Calcivet Calcium supplement that I have to give Georgie, my 15 week old AG, I have to put 3 drops onto her food twice weekly, i'm not sure how much is a drop, I bought a small syringe dispenser from Boots which has a measuring scale on it up to 1.0ml. Could someone help ?? Thanks

I put a drop or two in marleys water straight from the bottle but if I remember reading correctly if they're on pellets they dont need it.

 If your bird is pellet fed ( Harrisons  )you should have no need to give  Georgie  calcivet  . If Georgie is seed fed well then yes a few drops in the water eg 10/20mils of calcivet to 1litre of water  given 1/2 days a week  .  But if she is seed fed i would deffo be thinking of coverting her while shes young  then she shouldnt need any supplements as Harrisons is a complete feed

Was the Calcivet recommended by the vets? Does the bottle have an "open" neck or a wee dispenser on it. When I gave it (I don't anymore because she's on pellets) I could just squeeze the bottle and a drop came out the top.

I give her a mixture of seeds and kaytee exact pellets which I got when I bought her, I think she enjoys the seeds more than the pellets though. I was also given the calcivet in the full package

The calcivet has an open neck bottle, I also have parrot palm fruit extract (Rob Harvey) which I give her on a small inch square piece of brown toast, she loves this

[lizduncan]

If she eats pellets then I wouldn't give a calcium supplement. Too much calcium is as bad as too little. The palm extract is very beneficial though

I'll have to try some of the Harrison's, sounds like it's good stuff
