I can't remember...

Recommended Posts

It's been a long time ago nd I can't remember - now that I'm back to hand feeding I notice BLUE wants to bite my hands every time I pick her/him up - not hard but she acts very hungry(every young bird will to some degree)... I have her on one feding a day, that should be correct but I'm doubting myself(this was why I HATED hnd feeding!). Should she be on 2 a day??

Is the biting a bad behavior - as a member of the biting club, I don't want this to become long term or more importantly a HARD bite a year or two from now?

you should never stop a feeding until the bird is totally refusing that feeding go back to 2 feedings a day and when she starts refusing to whole feeding thats when to drop that feeding and not until no matter how old she is all birds wean at different ages some don't wean until 20 to 25 weeks it depends on the baby and when its ready to stop its not up to you its up to the bird. offer lots of differnt kinds of veggies and fruits lots of different textures. for your baby to chew on and go back to 2 feedings a day.

Thanks for the feedback. I had in my head 10 weeks~, 1~ feeding a day based on my Amazon experience(Napes, Spectacles) because of size... what I'm forgetting is they are all different!! She is eating everything in site 24/7, is very active(climbing, wing flapping, etc.) so overall doing very well... Sure is FUN to watch them grow mentally and physically, another thing I had forgotten.

 

Again, Thanks!!:cheer:
