Hello Friends, my baby is now 54 days old. I would like to know how do I start the weaning process? I hand feed him cerelac like 47ml 3 times a day. but what kind of soft food shall I introduce in his cage. and from past two days, I think his poop is a bit more liquid form. I tried putting in a small piece of banana, orange, sweet melon and sweet potato in this cage which he did not even touch it. can anyone shed some info on this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Greetings, Maggie typing for Jayd Continue with your formula and work your way up to 60ml or until he rejects it. Give him a half teaspoon unsalted peanut butter each morning for breakfast...let him eat it off the spoon. Up until now, he has relied on you to feed him. So, you can use your fingers to feed him. Also, he is more likely to eat off the floor instead of a bowl. Stay away from the fruit, no more than one piece (the size of a grape) grape or apple is good. Cheerios on the floor is excellent. Put a small pile of seeds (no sunflower seeds) 24/7, for example, Volkman's Hookbill is an excellent choice. Through the cage bars, stick a partial leaf of kale, mustard greens, etc. and change often. Food must be present 24/7...it's called abundant feeding. Get your baby foods, example: Squash, sweet potatoes (no corn) (Baby's 1st year), birdie bread....a simple recipe is Jiffy Cornbread mix, 2 jars of baby food, egg, and vegetables (mixed or your choice), seeds...the best part of this is you can get creative and add what you want to it...bake and serve in small chunks for the baby to pick at. Make sure the baby has plenty of water and watch what your baby eats. NO PEANUTS unless they are roasted, no salt, and MUST BE HUMAN GRADE...Check your parrot no eats food list before introducing anything new. When he is established eating, you can add pellets (which I personally do not recommend). Thank you, Jayd

Sorry to hear about the diagnoses but glad it was caught early. I hope you heal quickly. ❤️

How is Jayd doing today? Is he more comfortable?

Please keep us updated Maggie. Many of us care deeply and want to be in the loop. I am praying for you and Jayd.

I'm just getting back online and trying to catch up. It's a terrible choice to have to make, having you by his side has to be of great comfort. Hoping they can help relieve his suffering and he will know we are all thinking and caring for you both.

This deeply saddens me. Praying that they can help make him feel more comfortable. Please, please, please keep us posted. And please let him know that I will be lifting him up in prayer.

Oh Maggie, I’m so sorry. Please keep me posted. You both are in my prayers. ♥️♥️
