Hello everyone ;
I have bought two baby cocktails four days ago , first I took them to an avian vet to check if they are healthy which they were .
I took them home in noticed the bigger one named Nazoo did not beg for food at all , so I assumed she/he was scared of the new home she/he was in so i opened her/his mouth slighting and gave her formula which she/he gobbled up .
Her/his brother/sister on the other hand screams and shouts for food he is slightly younger .
The next day continued developing normally both of them with an empty crop again no begging I open the mouth slightly put some formula and then she started to eat I do this every time I feed her she seems to get very excited but does not beg.
I started to worry about this odd behavior so I took her to avian that again on the third day The doctor said it’s probably the surrounding place she is unfamiliar with that’s why she is scared of the formula she’s not used to it or the syringe she does not no that is food yet although she eats up he checked her out saw that she is very healthy and developing normally for her age he said I need to give her time to get used to the home and place but I don’t need to worry and that she will get a custom to opening her mouth later he asked me does she swallow the food I said yes she does that but I just wonder why does she not beg for food because it’s much easier to feed her if she was begging.
today her feathers are coming in beautifully and she’s growing up really fast almost doubled her weight when she came in but I am still worried about the fact that she’s not begging the doctor said there is no air in her lungs and she’s feeding properly and I don’t need to worry and I need to continue feeding her the same way if she did not open her mouth.
I need tips to help me get her motivated to beg I tried putting food on the side of her mouth but still it didn’t work I tried feeding her with her brother and still she didn’t get excited or begged for food.
What should I do?
