Vetsense BirdCare Calcium Liquid is a 125mL liquid supplement formulated specifically for birds, targeting calcium and Vitamin D3 requirements that general-purpose supplements may not cover adequately. Suitable for a range of pet bird species, from budgerigars and cockatiels through to larger parrots, particularly those on predominantly seed-based diets.

Vitamin D3 is required for calcium to be absorbed efficiently, making it necessary to include both in a supplement when dietary intake is insufficient. The liquid format makes it straightforward to add to drinking water or soft food, avoiding the refusal that pelleted supplements sometimes encounter. Adequate calcium supports bone development, healthy feather condition, and proper eggshell formation in breeding hens.

Birds on seed-based diets are commonly calcium-deficient — seeds are low in calcium relative to avian requirements, and deficiency can develop gradually before signs become obvious. A targeted liquid supplement addresses the gap directly without requiring a full dietary overhaul, which is often the practical first step avian vets recommend.
