Calcivet 50ml Liquid Calcium and D3 Supplement Reviews

4.8 Rating 49 Reviews
Read Northern Parrots Reviews

Calcivet is a high-quality liquid calcium supplement for birds with added Vitamin D3. Especially vital during breeding, and should be given weekly to all birds. African Greys have a particular requirement for this mineral.
Add Calcivet to drinking water or onto moist/soft foods, it easily absorbs into bones, nerves and muscles where needed. Without enough calcium a Parrot can develop problems with egg laying, slow moults, feather plucking, nervousness and respiratory problems.
Calcium is involved in brain and nerve function and can improve behavioural problems such as feather plucking and chewing.

I came across Northern Parrots after a recommendation from a local pet store called General Dogsbody in my home town, Hereford. I was specifically in need of calcivet to treat one of my call ducks, which showed signs of being egg bound. I ordered 100ml of calcivet liquid calcium and by the following afternoon it had been delivered to my door.Northern Parrots had delivered a quality product, quickly and for a reasonable price. Following the administration of this medicine and separation of the duck from the rest of the flock i am pleased to say after no more than a week the duck seemed to be back to normal and it had layed its first egg!The bottle contained excellent instructions and has an extremely good use by date.I have no criticisms after the use of this product, however an addition to this product could be a measurement tool. I for example used a 5ml medicine spoon to ensure i had the correct dosage.Following the excellent products, service and delivery of items, I have already recommended Northern Parrots to a friend!!

I nearly lost my parrot a few years ago when it decided to hack itself/feathers to near death. My local vets could not decipher the problem (although they were happy to keep billing me úúúúú's!) and in desperation I consulted a qualified person on line to discover my parrot had classic symptoms of calcium deficiency and how important to a birds health this supplement is. (especially apparently to african greys!) All parrots should be getting this supplement - whether it is given once a week or more for problems but they should be getting it. A deficiency in it can prove fatal in such a short time. This particular product is very easy to take - as it is liquid based and can be sprinkled onto food unlike the powdered stuff which goes on fruit/wet foods and is here or there if a bird will take it. My spoilt parrot would also not take it in water (she went on drinking strike) so it was ideal mixed into her seeds. My parrot is now in the best of health (I also give her a vit supplement) and I purchase this and give it to her about 3 times per week as a supplement. (not recommended more than that as they build a resistence to it) Highly recommended/saved my birds life and úúúú's in needless vet bills!!!

I have a conure with a calcium deficiency that causes him to seizure and with calcivet daily directed by the avian vet he is slowly but surely getting better, without calcivet he would have not survived :(

This product was recommended by an Avian Vet, (however please check with your vet before giving to your birds), seemed to improve one of our cockatiels health so good, good, good.
