Hi everyone! I have got a two months(breeder mentioned that's his age) old baby sun (or jenday) conure a week back. He is hand fed and i was instructed to give formula morning and evening. (Not sure of the gender but I use he). When I open the cage he jumps to my lap and makes small squeaking noises like a dolphin would. What is the meaning of these noises? Is he uncomfortable? (Video link attached)
Also when he is in my lap he goes around and bites the dress. If I bring my finger to pet him he bites ( or nibbles not sure of the difference, but the bites are not painful). Does that mean he is hungry?
Sometimes he bites my finger hard and simultaneously flaps his wings harddddd..is this a sign of anger or he is frightened?
I have a 2 ft * 1.5 ft * 2 ft cage. He has a swing, a ladder, a hanging wood chew toy and a perch. There are cups with nuts (sunflower, pumpkin) and water. He chews the nuts when inside the cage. Not sure how much he eats as throws a lot down. I give him apple slices (width of the thumb) and one inch long corn on cob.
Should I offer pallets? Which is a good brand? (I m in India, so would be great if Indian brands are mentioned) Should he be weaned off formula? If so how to do it?
Please someone help.
