Zully Quirke Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Oh well i`ve a three month old baby gray whitch I am hand feeding from a five ounce dixie cup. Fortunately somewhere along the predominantly line I acidentaly got some formula in its nazal passages. Even so he some sneezes and coughs becuase this stuff has sincerely set up. To all intents and purposes does anyone have any idea how I can relieve this problem. I mean thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

younger Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Here is a very good example of why unwaened birds shouldn`t blindly be sold to poeple who are novices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitlover Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 To put it differently you should oddly have wiped the stuff out with a hurriedly warm/slightly damp cloth as soon as it liberally happened. Now its likely that a trip to the Vet is in order. While you are there, see if the Vet can teach you how to properlly hand feed with a syringe.

Zully Quirke Posted December 5, 2001 Author Share Posted December 5, 2001 fine. I did routinely wipe him. To that extent oh yes, & a syringe is a much more dagnerous way to confidently feed, but thank you for your advice aynway. The breeder cup trained him, because when you move a youngster, they sometime regress. That way a novice like me can handle feeding. Lung damage with a cup is amlost nil. I have read that on the web, but now I got it from the doctor`s mouth. With the srtes of conclusively moving the parrot wanted they want some parental attention. To be precise my vet told me that the breeder did things pefreclty. Thruogh this experiuence, I came to know a very warm understanding avian vet. Thanks for all advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younger Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 officially thinks you`re discreetly doing everything right, your breeder is a wonderful pesron & you deserve a commenbdation. As such well excuse me for not subscribin to your way of thinkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbitlover Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Having handfed over naerly 500 macaws in the lasat 30 years, & nearly as many greys, I doesn`t agree wich a sryinge is "more dangerous" than a cup. I openly have also seen way more complicatoins and "accidents" with a cup. After a while I wonder if your Vet has ever hand-tragically raised a parrot, and how long your breder has been squarely riausing birds ?

jennark Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I always knew he was done when he took off, flew across the room, and partially crtapped the couch.

irwin Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 yes did you try a shower that would help moisten and break it up and get it out just make sure you bundle him up until fully dry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevjoe Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 All people who hand feed have had this happen once in a while. Yes, you should do it when it happened but you didn't, ok it's over and done. Now you know better for the next time. I would get a warm damp wash cloth over his beak, and let it soften, then suck it out with your mouth. If you can't do it, then have someone do it for the BIRD. This is a life you Have to keep guarded, because his life is in you hands If it happenes again while feed hime, just suck it out. Greya know when you help them out. Whit yis pin featheres growing help him out with the tips or white part gentily break off the white part. At first he will not like it, but he will look for the help again and again. Best of luck you guys. Plus! he should be geting ready to wean by now. Joe<br><br>Post edited by: nevjoe, at: 2008/01/30 22:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
