I have to wonder where they came up with "Pleasantly Warm" as their brand name.

Personally, I would just offer something like a cuttlebone or calcium block where the bird can chew off what they want. It seems like mixing something in the water forces them to drink it whether they need it or not and they might end up getting overdosed.

he wont touch a cuttle bone or block

My Quaker doesn’t either! But my two budgies do. I figure as long as the cuttlebone is there, if they need it they’ll eat it . If it’s in the pellets and your bird is healthy otherwise, they are probably getting all they need. But it’s up to you!

I'd ask an avian vet. Placing supplements no matter what it is, into water has drawbacks. Too much as well as too little with possible risk of dehydration. Some birds don't like the taste in their water.
