My baby parrot is around 4 months old. He is currently on 2 handfeeds a day. She takes around 10-20 cc in morning and 10-20 cc at night. She eats pellets, seeds, fruits and veggies. When do I change to 1 x handfeed a day. Or should I continue on the 2 feeds. Help is appreciated,

I wanted to teach my parrot to talk. But, I am at work all day. Do you guys recommend any CD that I can play for him when i am not home

Hi everyone, 2 quick questions. My baby is on 2 handfeeds a day. She eats veggies, pellets and seeds with no problem. She is about 3 months. When do I reduce the feeds to 1x a day. She takes maybe 30 cc in moirning and at night. Then refuses more. Dont know when to reduce to once a day. Im concerned because she eats eveything outside the cage. She wont touch her food bowels in the cage. I was home from work the past 2 days and observed her in the cage. Yup, she does not eat in there. So, I am very hesistant about reducing the handfeeds. I dont want her to starve, 2nd question. I noticed today that she was sneezing clear discharge from her nose. Whats that about.

When should I reduce the handfeeding. She takes about 30 cc in morning and at night. After she takes a little she refuses to take more. She rather eat her pellets. Also, should i put her bowl on the floor of cage. Will that help her eat in the cage. The other bowels are easy to get to. She just wants to climb to top of cage and sit on the comfy perch, rather then sit on the perch that is closer to the food bowls.

thanks

My baby has a metal bad on its foot that says 508. What does this mean. Thanks

thanks. Oustside the cage she does not stop eating. She has also been refusing the handfeeds. She takes a little then runs away and starts eating her pellets. She does the samething at night when I get home. But, once in the cage she doesnt touch anything, and rather play with her toys. I know patience is the key. But, is she learning only to eat outside the cage. Her name is darla.

Just got a new baby african grey around 3 months old. Hopefully, this one is a keeper after what I went through with the last baby. The baby is on 2 handfeeds a day. She has already fledged. Quick question, Outside the cage on her perch she eats everything. Pellets, seeds, nuts, fruits veggies. But, I am concerned about when she is in her cage. She doesnt go near the food dishes. She climbs to the top perch and sits there and palys with her toys. Will she eventually eat the food in her cage. When, I first put her in the cage she did. But, she stopped. That means she doesnt eat all day. Only when I wake up in the morning and at night. Unless, she sneeks food during the day. But, the bottom of cage is clean. She doesnt drink her water either. But, she accepts 30 cc handfeed in morning and at night. Advice would be helpful.

thanks everyone

he siad he can give me another grey in 1 month time. He wants the virus to die out in my house. Or he said he can give me a blue fronted amazon baby. He said the virus does not effect this breed of bird. So, I dont know what to do. I love both breeds of birds.

the breeder said he wont give him back. Its fatal.

Results are in and they look gloomy. The bird has beak and feather disease. The breeder told me this a few minutes ago. Where did he get this from. The breeder told me the rest of the clutch was okay.

Update on charlie. The breeder told me that Charlie looks a little better. He handfed him formula all day yesterday and saved him from dying. He rehydrated him with all the formula so he looks better. He now is going to bring the bird to his vet and do bloods and find out why he stopped eating all of a sudden. What do you think it could be?????? Its really sad, that I have to be going through all of this. I bought this bird 1 month ago. What should I do guys. I dont want to end up with a sick bird. Although, I am very bonded with this guy. What could have caused all of this.

I kept seeds in cage also. He stopped eating them also. I called breeder for update. He told me that he thinks his blood sugar is low. He says I have to keep him there overnight. He said he will have his vet draw a blood sugar. I'm worried my poor babu grey won't make it. What if he doesn't make it. I've invested so much money in this little guy in the 1 month I had him. Over 2 grand. This really is horrible.

Called the vet. She told me she can't figure out what's wrong. Paid 400 bucks yesterday for that answer. Now, she wants me to go to animal hospital. The breeder told me it's definilty malnoutrition. He said he will handfeed baby for me. I actually trust thus guy. He's a petexpert and all over tv. Will see.
