Hi
Can anyone give advice please, we have had adult macaws in the past, but this is our firsy baby, our baby macaw is apparently 14 weeks old, we have had him since he was about 8 weeks old. When we collected him, the breeder told us to feed him 3 times a day, apparently 80 to 100 mil per feed. For the first couple of weeks. At firsy he head bobbed and flapped for every feed, then although he was still feeding well, he stopped the bobbing and flapping and just ate,(he has never asked fot food, we always just fed every 6 hours as we were advised) recently he is refusing food and turning away from the syringe, with coaxing he will eventually eat. We have offered fresh fruit snd soft vegetables but he has always sermed totally uninterested in either tasting or even playing with them. What are we doing wrong? We have tried to get info from the breeder, but he is spanish and speaks no English and we have no one else to ask. Also he fledged for first time about 8 days ago. would be greatful for any advice please x
