Hello, so i noticed the parents were not feeding this singular baby so i decided to take it inside to handfeed it. I am experienced with handfeeding both finches and parrots although i noticed this baby is not begging for food which might be why it was not getting food. It opens its mouth for a millisecond and closes it again not letting food in unlike the others. The baby is still very tiny and im not sure if force-feeding might be a good idea. (Parent birds are first time parents)

Put him in the bator and now seems to gain enough strength to take in 2 drops of food before giving up again. Seemed to be very wobbly for some reason. Less stable than even it’s younger siblings.
