I raised all of my red-bellied parrot babies on Kaytee Exact. I've also handfed sick birds who were not eating Kaytee. However I know there was a recall a few years ago. Don't know about any more recent issues.
As for cleaning up your bird, lightly dampen a few cotton balls and wipe off any food.
BTW, do you have any previous experience handfeeding? How old is your 'tiel and how often are you feeding?
Are you monitoring his/her weight? That's very important.
