If it truly isn’t eating, it will die. Are you hand feeding it? Offering formula? How old is it?

Is the baby weaned? How old is he? Have you tried hanging millet spray by him? Are you feeding the same food as the breeder?

Call the breeder. Ask what the tiel ate...It's possible its regressed or not weaned..

Offer oatmeal with some peas corn etc...soft slightly warm food...You might have to get it back to the store or even use a spoon & feed it some soft baby bird food formula. You have a scale///have to weigh thebaby to see if its losing weight... etc...it can get sick & die..
