Biking along the boulevard
I've only had one bird Aspirate on us, and it was a lovebird so not sure if it would be any different, plus mine was 2 weeks old
but the liquid came up out of the nostrils, and that's all it was, he/she was gone within seconds , my b/f Even attempted CPR on her/him but nothing, it was that quick
I know not all aspiration goes that quick but on this one it did so now ever since then I pay very close attention to the nostrils when hand feeding and to make sure nothing ever comes out and thankfully we've never had it happen again
and when using a syringe it is very easy to aspirate, specially once they realize that syringe feeds them and they do the feeding response - not sure how the bigger birds do it but mine (lovebirds, budgies, tiels, conures) get their head moving Really fast and in rapid motions, So its very easy to do - But I've started holding their head firmly but gently between my fingers so they can not move their head all around while feeding, and Switch to Spoon feeding as soon as they'll except it. which thankfully usually happens within 2-3 days of pulling them to start hand feeding.
