Hello everyone! First time poster here, just brought home my black masked cobalt lovebird thursday. Thursday night he refused to take his formula, I figured this was okay because the breeder had told me that he was eating the weaning pellets and millet. Luckily, he is eating the millet... but not the pellets. He has no concept of his water dish... and I am really beginning to worry. Day three and he still wont take his formula. Also, I am aware that this the time they typically lose weight to better enable them to fly. He is flying, but due to this stressful situation with the formula, ( I don't think he was handled gently before) he hates it, and he is beginning to resent me for trying to get him to eat. he's still eating millet, but nothing else... no water. any suggestions? I am trying to keep him alive, and in the process i am causing him to hate me. his crop is almost flat, about 1/3 filled w/ millet btw. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
