Today he has droppings/poop very loose and sticky but the color remains the same as everyday light green. Can you please tell me what should i be doing. Symptoms. 1. Baby bird is active enough as normally he would be. 2. droppings/poop very loose and sticky.

Sure Judygram.....My pleasure doing it.

Check this video. Would get in more videos soon. >Also please tell me if any medications needed for emergencies, i would like to keep them ready to be administered. Thankyou. >When do i give him anything else to eat other than Kaytee handfeeding formula?

He is eating about 40cc in the morning and evening. But at night, he is loading like a monster.....100cc. :cool:

You will see him live and thrive for years. In India, i discovered, there are lots and lots of CAG sold unweaned and most make it. The survival rate is high. Its because of basic common sense of the people in general here is high. People panic next to taking right action at the right time here. And thanks to all. P.S. Not to mean racial here. Was trying to infer the global survey. Cheers.

OMG I simply dont know how it got deleted. Sorry. And Yes...i understand that. Sometimes he is not very craving as he will be usually but still opens his mouth when i keep the spoon in front of his beak, but not so cravingly. So, when he still opens his mouth with disinterest and that is when i am afraid to continue. He takes it but just bcz i kept it in front of his beak. I feel am oerfeeding him when i give him and he eats it before he demands for it.

Thanks a lot for the support. However, i am feeding him with a spoon now. So no more syringe and no more uncomfort. He was very sleepy in that while that video was being filmed though he was being fed. Dont know why...May be he had no sleep when he was with the seller. Now he sleeps al the time and is being fed as much as he wants. And then as some experts in the forum have told...immediately after his meal he plays for sometime and dozes off most of the time till the next meal time which is after 7 hours (while feeding him 3 times a day according to the chart given at the handfeeding instructions given in this section.) Now tell me people....Should i be giving him some food again between the scheduled meal...if he is begging when i try peeping into his box? Assuming that he is hungry and is good to feed him when he wants, wont it spoil the routine and get overfed? Do you people think its good for his young system if i feed when ever he begs. Will he know how much to eat or would he overfeed himself leading to some digestive problems? Please explain. Thanks in advance again.

With reference to this thread....http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?193322-Hello-Everyone....Please clear the following to me.. 1. How big should be the brooding nest? I have placed him in a 12inch(L) x 7inch(W) x 8 inch(D) aquarium. He sometimes tries to stretch and in the weeks to come her will outgrow this nest. What do u suggest to use a brooding nest? I have another spare aquarium of width 1ft and length 3ft and 1.5ft deep (Ref ) 2. I am just covering the nest top 75% with a folded cloth to keep it as warm as possible. Since its in my room with a room temp of about 28C. Should i do anything to keep him warm. 3. Can i take him out of the nest and place him on a towel for feeding? (I know he is not at an age to explore anything in the outside world, he should just eat and sleep. So no plans of let him play outside yet.) 4. Feeding - I am sticking to the feeding schedule given at the Nursery section. He begs for more even after 45cc of feeding which is the higher number according to the table given in the nursery section. Should i give him more untill he refuses or do i stick to the table? 5. I have my own doubt on the breeder if he has fed him with high temperatures like 105F(40C). I guess he must have fed it with room temp of about 82F(28C)(i dont know whether this is possible) (Sorry...UNKNOWN BREEDER in India) Should i start feeding him at 105F(40C) right away or slowly raise the feeding temp at every feeding time? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for that moral support. I have bred number of Fresh water aquarium fishes in the past 15 years and i understand/feel the importance of the basics and expertise of captivity breeding of a living being in general ......

He has already opened. He looks into my eyes and can turns around as i move around his box in which i have placed him. @All I cannot give him back in India. Pets once sold will not be taken back in India. This is a different scenario now. I have no other go than to raise him myself. So please don't let me down and just help me. I am following the Hand feeding method shown in the nursery section, exactly. And, i have gone through several websites talking about the possible dangers of Handfeeding by a novice. I am somehow confident that i will put my cent percent to take care of this kid through its journey of life and will not lose out with my moral and ethical values and let this kid die for sure. I am an animal lover and love to sit for hours in front of them and observe very keenly their behavior, instincts, growth cycle etc etc about any pet i bring home. However i have been keeping Fish since 20 years and am a moderator for many Fish communities. Guys am not boasting myself here....just that i want you guys to trust my confidence in learning the whole thing here and work on my Pingu and bring him successfully. Rest is left with you guys in this community to get it done by me. Thank you. P.S. Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong in the way i am feeding the chick in the video i have posted. Thankyou.

This is Ujwal, And i have brought my new Congo African grey chick of 6.5 weeks old. My wife has named him 'Pingu'. Feeding him with Kaytee exact handfeeding formula. I am adopting Abundance weaning. Can someone explain to me the right method of adopting abundance weaning? No internet source is giving me the right explanation of it. P.S.I have no handfeeding/weaning experience, however i have raised chicks of budgies and pigeons along with their parents when they themselves took care of the clutch. So i would be glad to here advices and support through my raising my chick - 'Pingu'. Here is a video where am handfeeding my new chick for the first time when i got him.
