Calcium is critical for bone health, eggshell formation, nerve function, and blood clotting. Normal levels indicate adequate dietary calcium and proper parathyroid function.
Hypocalcemia in birds is a serious finding often caused by calcium-deficient diets (all-seed diets), especially in African grey parrots and cockatiels which are prone to calcium metabolism disorders. Egg-laying females can also become critically low.
This requires immediate veterinary attention. Your bird may need calcium supplementation and dietary correction. African greys are particularly prone to seizures from low calcium.
Avian calcium: 7.0 mg/dL (Low)Calcium is critical for bone health, eggshell formation, nerve function, and blood clotting. Normal levels indicate adequate dietary calcium and proper parathyroid function.
No action needed. Ensure ongoing access to calcium-rich foods and cuttlebone for appropriate species.
Avian calcium: 10.5 mg/dLHigh calcium in birds can be seen in egg-laying females (physiological), with hypervitaminosis D (excessive supplementation), or with certain cancers. It is less common than hypocalcemia in birds.
Your veterinarian will assess dietary supplements and egg-laying status. If not egg-related, investigate for vitamin D toxicity or other causes.
