Pictures Hungry baby

[Tstorey81]

I have a 5 week old cockatiel baby with parents. Being fed and cared for by mum n dad but it's always screening for food. Weight is spot on but not sure if there feeding it enough I have tried a night feed of formula but not that easy to take it. Any advice please?

I'm afraid I don't know a lot about baby tiels but here are some good references:

Hand-Feeding and Weaning - Just Cockatiels!

Breeding Cockatiels, candled eggs, assisted hatches, how to make a brooder, how to handfeed baby birds,
baby bird feeding schedule, baby bird weight gain chart, weaning baby birds, how to wean baby birds.

Five weeks is early to wean, can you try putting the formula on a spoon and feed that way? Keep Daddy away, he may start being aggressive to the baby. Good luck Keep us updated.
