When birds are being brought into breeding condition do many people add a specific breeding supplement to there birds diet, like added calcium if there hoping for a second clutch. Also what other supplents do you use?

Regards,

this year is the first time i have tried to breed my bird
and have not used any supplements, not sure if there
is any real benefit for them when a good variety of whole
food is given. although I'm sure someone will put me right
if this is incorrect

It will depend on the food, whole rabbit is balanced, buit a lot of the bones are large, and only eaten if the bird is hungry, so a multi supplement may help, but if feeding quail, doc or pigeon, should be fine
