Yesterday i got a lutino cockatiel, it's name is phoenix (i don't know the gender as the pet shop owner said it can be told after 4-5 months), i am giving him seeds and he drinks clean water.
He is able to eat and drink on his own and also through my hand when i pick him and put some seeds on my other hand.
But he refuses to eat the formula, he turns his head other way when i try to feed him the formula.
I tried to use syringe and also spoon but it doesn't seem to work, when i tried to put him on the back and tried to put syringe into his mouth she got very scared and flew.
Is this behaviour normal? Is he weaned now? Pet owner says it is completely fine if he is eating seeds and drinking water only as of now and not eating formula and asked me to wait for sometime before starting to give fruits and vegetables.
I added some photos.
Plz help..thanks.
