Posted on his original thread Someone tell me no..
But wanted to make a new one to get more attention on the question
For anyone who knows more about baby birds than I do (I might post this in a different thread if i dont get an answer)(look at that i did), should I be concerned if he's still super behind his siblings? They are all weaned (besides one but hes only wanting like 2-5cc at feedings and hes visibly eating solid food) but he's still very actively dependent on formula, he'll eat a bite or two of millet throughout the day, but otherwise he'll only eat formula and no solid food. The store and the vet the store takes birds too aren't concerned.
But I'm a little concerned as he did have 2 siblings die. We got them from a new breeder we haven't done business with before that seemed experienced, but when he dropped off baby cockatiels, black capped conures, and sun conures, they were all insanelllyy skinny and he was saying he fed them once or twice a day already when everyone was farrrrr too young. We won't be doing business with him again and have posted about him to avoid him as we also learned he sells unweaned babies to the public. 2 of the cockatiels went and the necropsys came back and they did have crop infections which we already knew and were treating but they had not been responsive to the medication the vet had given us. The last 4 siblings including him are showing no symptoms but are on a dose of the medicine just in case.
They're a little over 3 months. It's funny because hes the best flyer out of all of them by far and the bravest but still very baby looking and still very unweened.
