Hello all. I have a clutch of 4 cockatiels and currently hand feeding because of plucking and then later after feeding visits started failing just plain abandonment from first time parents. Both parents are pets and very tame and bought both as males but that's a story for another time, however we got here I now have 4 abandoned chicks 3 of which are feeding from a syringe well and are getting fat and happy but the oldest chick who is 32 days old today and started flying 3 days ago will not take food by any method at all but still begs for food when it sees it's mum but she will not feed her. The chick has gone from 99 grams to 78 grams in 4 days with a little forced water and food and a visit to the vet for a small feed via tube but is otherwise healthy and active but I am just waiting for the inevitable to happen as she now feels very light and very thin breast and no crop bulge at all. Is there anything I can do or is my baby doomed ????
I use kaytee formula but it will not even swallow fruit juice or water or anything offered..... Please help how long has she got?????
