Morning Bird Calcium Plus Liquid Calcium for Birds, 8 Fl Oz

Morning Bird Calcium Plus is a bird health supplies product sold as an 8 fl oz (237 ml) bottle of liquid calcium. Each litre of the liquid carries calcium borogluconate at 33 g, vitamin D3 at 25,000 i.u. and magnesium at 2 g, and the label gives three ways to give it to adult birds.

Calcium, vitamin D3 and magnesium in a liquid

The liquid combines three named ingredients. It provides calcium borogluconate 33 g/L, vitamin D3 25,000 i.u./L and magnesium 2 g/L, so the amounts are printed per litre.

The label lists three ways to offer the liquid. One teaspoon goes into a cup of clean drinking water, or into a cup of food, and one drop per 2 ounces (56 g) of body weight can be added directly to the crop. The bottle holds 237 ml, which is the middle size of a range that also runs to 4 fl oz and 16 fl oz.

Which birds is Calcium Plus labelled for?

The package names adult, senior, breeding and moulting birds, growing fledglings and hookbills. It also lists seven species: finches, canaries, macaws, African greys, lovebirds, cockatiels and parakeets. Before buying, compare your bird with those two lists.

The direct-to-crop direction is measured by body weight at one drop per 2 ounces (56 g), so a bird's weight decides the drop count. The water and food directions use one teaspoon as the measure, and no scoop or dropper is listed with the bottle.
