Zoo Med Avian Calcium, 3 Ounce Jar (85g)

I have two pet pigeons that are very picky about their food. This supplement is wonderful in that, not only do my birds love it, the powder its self sticks to the seeds without becoming chalky or sticking only to the oiler seeds. It is easy to dispense by shaking a bit on, or by opening up the other side and measuring out a specific amount. I then just mix it up with the seed. It mixes very well. I would estimate that given the size of the jar, and how little I actually need to use to maintain healthy calcium levels, (specific to my bird's vet recommendations) this jar should last several months for my two birds. This is a good quality product, and it is great for picky birds. A wonderful alternative to the flavored calcium supplements.

Much bigger than I expected it to be, will last for a long time! So this is very cost efficient, especially if you have more than one bird. I bought this to help with egg binding for a female duck and it does the job. Before supplementing her diet with cacium powder, she had to go to the emergency room pretty much every single year during laying season because of egg binding. One time she almost died and the vet told us we were really lucky she did not. Those vet bills were about $1K each time!! This calcium powder has saved us hundreds if not thousands of dollars in vet bills. Highly recommended if you have any female birds that lay eggs. Even if they do not appear to have a problem, if doesn't hurt to give them this especially if they are laying eggs. This gives them the nutrition that they need.We would cut worms in half and dip them into this powder and give them to our duck daily when she is laying eggs, but you can also sprinkle directly into their food or water and mix. Or mix with another type of treat and feed to them.

Was good no problems

It’s great thank you

This works great in the addition to the food that I feed my bird. It helps her with her egg production.

I bought this to both sprinkle over fresh sprouts for my mating Bourke's Parakeets when breeding to prevent egg binding and to mix a little into the baby bird formula I hand feed the young. Don't give it daily and don't over do it. Yea, it's messy people- it's a super fine powder. It's like powdered sugar consistency. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the product. Anyway... I had one chick with splayed legs because the hen sat too hard on her the first 5 days of her life and had cleared away the pine shavings under her so the chick couldn't grasp the bottom of the nest box to stand. I used the makeup sponge shackle trick and this powder in the Roudybush formula 3 Bird Food, 2-Pound and she is as normal as can be after 3 weeks of "treatment". The amount of calcium powder for the price is a great value. This will last me a very, very long time!

My female finch was weak from too much egg laying, this helped her a lot. She got a lot of her strength back

I purchased this calcium in the hopes that our Yellow Nape Amazon Parrot would get some calcium. Unfortunately, our parrot is very finicky when it comes to food. I have been sprinkling very little calcium on his food, on his favorite fresh fruit or veggies and have been mixing a little in some of his water bowls. The moment he spots it he will not eat the food. So far, the best thing I have been able to do is to mix very little calcium together with his liquid vitamin in his special vitamin water bowl. Right now, I believe that is the only way I can get him to take in some calcium. I do believe that this is a good product, it only comes out in too many small clumps, which make the Ca very visible for our parrot. That is the only reason why I give it a three star instead of a five. It is a large enough canister and should last a long time.
