Sprinting down the street
My gold cap conure is unable to eat most foods currently. He tries his best but his beak was trimmed too short, so he is unable to eat any types of seeds or pellets and is struggling with chop. I started feeding him 10ml of Intune.
I have not hand fed in many years and the last bird I did so was with a weening lovebird: so this is major change and challenge. He is currently being offered the same foods in hope that he will learn to overcome this, but it is evident from watching him try that he can't currently.
I don't know what a full crop feels like on a conure. I am looking for a rough figure to go by as I learn. His formula is mixed 1:2
Also how often should he be fed?
Any advice would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Jay
