how is the little sweet heart?
I will try that recipe soon. Thank you. He's just 4 months. My biggest concern is that he isn't getting enough food. Any idea on the minimum amount of formula he should be getting?It's important to offer some high calorie weaning foods right now - and I do remember mine being more interested in playing and exploring and flying than eating. It was very stressful for me! Try mashing up cooked yams and adding some scrambled eggs, bananas and some sort of nut butter. Make it warm and mushy, similar in consistency to thick baby food, and see if you can get him to eat some off of a spoon or your fingers to start. I still give my girl this every night (though the egg is only occasional now). Keep offering hand feedings for now - don't let him go hungry. How old is he now? Remember that it can take quite a while to completely wean these guys - I think my girl was about 10 months when I completely stopped. Corn kernels was a popular choice for my girl when she first started eating on her own, and she'd also try anything that I sprinkled with pomegranates.
Has never looked quite right to me either, I do still have the Baytril. I'm less concerned giving it to him now that he's older. I know the vet will find "bacteria" anyway because they always do. I don't want to wait to late but don't want to give it needlessly either.@Macawnutz @Hankmacaw I'm going call in the big macaw people. to me it doesn't look right but I am not a macaw expert.
you know they will not be here until the AM in USA time.
