Feeding guidelines

Chicks with open eyes can be fed 3 to 4 times a day. For birds whose feathers are beginning to emerge, 2 to 3 feeds per day are recommended. Carefully check the crop before each feeding. It should be almost empty before feeding again. Prepare each feeding fresh by mixing Harrison's Juvenile Hand-Feeding Formula with drinking water at approximately 39 °C. For the mixing ratio, use the advice of your avian vet, tailored to the age of the bird. Do not heat the feed in the microwave and allow it to cool to lukewarm before feeding. Use a feeding syringe and carefully insert it from the left side of the beak, directing it towards the right side of the neck. Allow the bird to swallow during feeding. Feed until the crop is full, but not overfull. After feeding, clean the beak, feathers and enclosure and remove any remaining feed.
