How Often Should I Feed My Baby Parrot, 6 Weeks Old?

- I've noticed that there are different schedules for feeding baby parrots - I go by the schedule in my Psittaculture book, by Tony Silva, because he is world-renowned and practices what he preaches with great success.
At 6 weeks a baby is supposed to be fed 3 times per day- In the video, I illustrate (as best I can) what to monitor in feeding your baby parrot. You want to make sure that they are eating their food; you want to watch their crop so that you know how much food they have/are eating or so that you know when they are 'empty' and need more food.
In the video I illustrate how to feed with a spoon. Spoon feeding is the easiest, so to speak, and it is the one that is least unlikely to be problematic. For example, feeding with a syringe (a special syringe made with a plastic tip for feeding baby parrots) can be dangerous. Most pet shops train their employees for some time before letting them feed baby parrots with a syringe. This is because the syringe can go down the wrong pipe and into their lungs, causing them to aspirate and die.
Beginners may find it challenging enough to feed with a spoon, but it also may give you room to 'learn' how to feed.
Please watch the video for more feeding illustrations and details.

Thank you for making a video response to my question , I appreciate it..
Too much cuteness!!....thanks I needed this today
The Parrotlets are like that, uplifting!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank u so much this was so helpful I’m getting a baby for the fist time and I have a hang feed so scared but this was helpful
Make sure to stay in touch with the breeder so that you can talk to them if you have questions. How exciting, good luck!
Aww
Congratulations! I’m glad this video helped. There is nothing better, they are little miracles!
Very interesting. When I raised my robin, many years ago, I used a spoon. When they are not on the towel feeding what do you put down? Just curious. Oh, what temperature is your feeding formula and is the formula a mix? Thanks for doing such an informative video.👍👏🥰
so cute!🥰
Yes! Love them!
When do you start hand feeding them?
Do you leave them with the parents at first and then take them away at a certain age? Or do you start hand feeding them right when they hatch?
I’m making a video and will address this soon
Hi! What do you feed them once weaned off of hand feeding them and how much?!
*parrotlets
I'll respond in a video for you-
So many birds and but a spoon?
What's the baby food mixture? And would it be the same for eclectus?
I get it pre-made, just mix with hot water. I DO NOT now if it works for Eclectus parrots. They have specialized diets- research, they are very different than regular parrots when it comes to diet.
@@ParrotBliss Thank you for the reply. Is there a brand you recommend?
@@kjunmariner I use Kaytee- but double check for Eckie. I’ve raised a lot of babies on Kaytee
I am planning to purchase 4 to 5 lovebird chicks of age 20 - 25 days should I spoon feed them or use rubber needle syringe for feed, secondly should I keep all of them in one box or seperate box for each as I want to hand tame them. If I keep all of them in one box will they bond with eachother ?
The best thing to do is spoon feed. Easier for you and less risk. I would keep them together. It helps develop their social side. However, if you want them to be pets, once they are weaned, I would keep them in cages with two birds per cage. Otherwise they may stay too wild and not bond with you.
@@ParrotBliss thanks alot for your prompt and quick reply really appreciate ...
@@fayyazshahidsherieff Enjoy! They are adorable. I had fun when I did the same 😊
@@ParrotBliss yes for sure .... thanks
@@ParrotBliss If have Cockatiel chicks then for those as well I can use spoon to feed or syringe is better for I mean tip of the syringe not using long pipe. Can I use spoon feeding for lovebird and cockatiel bigger chicks as well..
