Lime is a form of calcium, and mineral mixes already contain it.

 

If you feed 'soft' grit, its probably eggshell, calcium again, or limestone grit, again calcium.

 

If you feed too much calcium, you cause problems in calcium / phosphorous balance, and could end up with bandy legged birds that lay soft-shelled eggs.

In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance which sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The name "cement" goes back to the Romans who used the term "opus caementitium" to describe masonry which resembled concrete and was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives which were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum, cimentum, cäment and cement. Cements used in construction are characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic.

 

The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and concrete - the bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to form a strong building material which is durable in the face of normal environmental effects.

 

hope this can help you dovescot ;D
