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.
