Avian Calcium 3 oz
Support your bird's bone health, eggshell development, and overall vitality with Avian Calcium by Zoo Med, an ultrafine, pure calcium carbonate supplement designed for all bird species and every life stage.
Calcium is one of the most critical and most commonly deficient minerals in companion bird nutrition. Seed-based diets, which many birds are fed by default, are naturally low in calcium and high in phosphorus, creating an imbalance that can lead to weak bones, poor feather quality, egg-binding in breeding hens, and serious long-term health complications. Avian Calcium bridges that gap with a supplement that's as pure and bioavailable as it gets.
Key Features:
-
Pure precipitated calcium carbonate — no impurities, no fillers, no additives
-
Ultrafine powder — milled to an extremely fine consistency for maximum adhesion to seeds, pellets, fruits, and vegetables
-
Highly bioavailable — precipitated calcium carbonate is one of the most easily absorbed forms of calcium available
-
All bird species and life stages — from young, growing birds to mature adults and breeding hens
-
Supports strong bones — essential for skeletal development and maintenance
-
Supports healthy eggshells — critical for breeding birds and egg-laying females
-
Easy to administer — dust lightly over food; the ultrafine texture sticks naturally
Why you'll love it:
The purity is what sets this supplement apart. Zoo Med uses only precipitated calcium carbonate, a pharmaceutical-grade form that's significantly more bioavailable than the ground oyster shell or limestone found in many budget calcium supplements. Precipitated calcium carbonate is processed to remove impurities, resulting in a brilliant white, ultrafine powder that your bird's body can absorb and utilise efficiently. You're not paying for filler, you're getting pure, functional calcium.
The ultrafine milling matters more than you might think. Coarse calcium powders slide off food, settle at the bottom of feed dishes, and end up wasted rather than consumed. Zoo Med's ultrafine texture adheres beautifully to seeds, pellets, and fresh foods meaning more of the supplement actually makes it into your bird rather than onto the cage floor.
Ideal for: All companion bird species — parakeets, cockatiels, conures, African Greys, Amazons, macaws, canaries, finches, and more.
Perfect for:
- Birds on seed-based diets that need calcium supplementation
- Breeding hens requiring extra calcium for eggshell production
- Growing chicks and young birds developing their skeletons
- Any bird owner wanting to ensure balanced mineral intake
Strong bones. Healthy eggs. Pure calcium.
