I am assuming that you have been told this by an Avian Vet after a full blood screen, correct? If so, I am guessing that your Vet has provide several methods of adding calcium to your Parrots diet, right. And one of them would have been a shift or change in the diet, correct.
Assuming that you are now providing a solid healthy diet, you can crush original (non-colored) TUMS and sprinkle it on to your Parrots, now healthy diet.
If the above has not happened, start by getting your Parrot into seeing your Certified Avian Vet.

Adding calcium into the diet may be great and all, but wont do any good if your conure isn't getting enough vitamin D.
