handrearing two baby birdies, one cockatiel for my granny and a yellow ringneck for my mom! they are between 3-5 weeks old and very cute

thank you for the advice, i dont feed him my sister does as its her baby, and it seems shes not very good because i manage not to mess on him when i feed him. and he doesnt seem to be regurgitating it sorta falls on him as he is taking the food. we have tried changing the consistency but he wont eat when it is too thick..

haha hey its the first time since he arrived! and plus he had granny to babysit

heres DJ's cage i think its pretty big he seems to enjoy it a lot sorry for the bad quality photo it is the only one i had at the moment http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y403/taykie/IMG1334_zpsfdcd3be8.jpg

hello um baby slash (quaker/monk parrot) is about 5 weeks old and a bit and we have been hand feeding him the AVI.PLUS but because of his small beak the food runs onto his chest and dries up and now the feathers are like stuck together and hard! we dont know how to clean it?? any advice would be much appreciated (never had these problems with my CAG DJ :eek: .. prefer bigger babies!)

Thank you MiracleAces. yes he did seem to enjoy it, it was a bit difficult though as he was still on two hand feedings a day and was starting tob try and fly so it was hard to give him out of cage time but otherwise it was very easy and enjoyable!

thank you Ray P, yes all we did was get a pet carrier and a travel cage which is a moderate size for the time period. his cage is too big to fit in the caravan lol. he is fine in the carrier but also enjoys being on my shoulder during car time (real mommy's boy loves being on me)

Thank you Judygram! He is not the only bird we actually got a 5 week old Monk parrot (Quaker) 2 days ago which is my sisters and hopefully a future friend for DJ, right now DJ just enjoys grooming him:p , and yes i really am enjoying him and so is my family including my dad and sister who are trying to for a relationship with him lol .. and yes i fully agree i will never leave them alone as i do know a dog is only an animal. and thank you i will check out the photography room

thank you Paleale :) yes we just bought a travel cage.. we take our bulldog aswell lol, and no he shows more interest or he wont even really take notice even when Dj is right infront of him.. we gave the people in the vet a good laugh the other day because DJ was in his carry case and stuck his beak through one of the holes and started nibbling on Axl's (bulldog) nose and Axl started licking him!!! hahaha

hello i am new here.ive had my Grey DJ for an month now he has already been camping with us which he seemed to have no problems with an enjoys being in the car. he has just been weaned so he is about 11-12 weeks. my sister just got a quaker yesterday (5weeks old) and DJ enjoys grooming the baby. DJ and I have formed a close bond and he likes my mom too but is does not like my sister and dad:D oh and him and my bulldog get on very well.. i'll be posting albums and stuff when i figure out how lol. http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y403/taykie/116_zpsaecb7a0e.jpg
