As everyone has said you can't beat a good selection of grits and minerals,but I think in every loft you get 1 or 2 birds that either don't eat it or don't eat enough or for whatever reason can be defficeint anyway.In extreme cases you can get something on vet prescription called calci-boost x which is a liquid,add half a mil to water for 5 days.It is not cheap and I think I would be tempted to try half a human calcium tablet from tesco's or somewhere first.
