Urgent Keel bone is very promiment?

[Nowthats3]

This is again with our new baby green cheek. He is active and eating, but picking him up, the keel bone is super prominent. Should I be worried?

Are you weighing him? What are you feeding him?

He is eating seed, but I made him a spinach bean mix. He weighs 62 grams.

Try some pasta and cooked sweet potato and pellets of some kind.

Veggies are also super important. Include some in each meal but give him plenty of stuff he’ll gobble up too. Even if that’s seed.

Also keep weighing him. Every day.

And make an appointment with an avian vet to at least take a poop sample to test!

Thank you! I am giving him millet as well just so he eats.

How old is he? And I second the vet check suggestion.
