We practise with carrot juice regularly
Emily only takes calcium liquid from a syringe (clear) and she gets held close to the chest just like Little Scooter to administer it.
The syringe is inserted from the right if the bird is facing you due to the anatomy of the bird's digestive system (it is actually the bird's left side of the beak). I slowly push the plunger one drop at a time so that they don't aspirate the liquid due to a sudden movement. When I first started this game I would only have two or three drops max in the syringe because I wasn't very sure I could control the flow smoothly.
Aspiration is a serious matter so please be very very careful when you initiate this training. Never force the liquid.
Also be careful they don't bite the rather soft tip of the syringe off and swallow it.

I'm sure you'll have jokes about big hands and hairy arms and such
