My baby almost 10 weeks old reject hand feeding

[tigrannovosartov]

Hello Everyone i posted before about my 6 weeks old African Grey Congo. Now my baby almost 10 weeks old and i went to a very good bird store and they gave me very good mixed of fruits seeds and its even smells so good even i want to eat it. MY questions is : is It normal that when i started give him that food he slowly stooped to eat formula . First he started to eat three time a day but much less . then i decide to make twice a day but still he eats like 35 cc twice a day and then i decide to feed him once a day thought then he will be more hungry thought i will give him like 52 cc a day. BUT still he eats more mix and less and less of formula .Now i giving him maximum 30 cc once a day i just cant make him eat more .But the thing is that i know that its good to hand feed them while they eating mix and normal food . Please help tell me if its ok or not because its happened in a week in a week she got used to eat normal food and each day less and less of formula. Can i stop giving formula cause sometimes he just eats like 10 cc and reject it and realyy hard and spend a lot time to give him more. cause she just walks away=)

Note. Before she liked my formula now it opposite

One more thing why im asking this cause i heard from some people that then longer i give him formula then better for her health . I heard that some people feed up to 1 year with formula

Thank you .
