If you do a google search, "liquid calcium for birds" many online sources should pop up. Pick the one that's cheapest with shipping included, usually the one closest to your location.
Good luck

The vet told me to use Calcium Glubionate which can be purchased from a drug store, but it only comes in one pint and costs about $30.

There are a few readily available bird calcium supplements with vitamin D added so that the calcium is absorbed. Vitamin D is extremely important in a birds diet and can also be found in hard boiled eggs, for calcium absorption it's a must.
Sorry, can't help you with finding calcium at a drug store.
