What does your parrot eat every day?

Sorry @Pepebirdie , but I strongly believe that all birds should be abundance weaned. That is more true for macaws than for smaller birds that mature more quickly. Some macaws self wean at 5 months and others want to be fed for as long as two years. Allowing them to wean on their own schedule increases their self confidence and does immeasurable good for their health.

Give him a hand feeding when ever he asks for it and continue to encourage him eating big boys foods. He will wean when he is ready. You have a long, long life ahead of you with your guy, don't skimp on the basics.

Of course. I wasn’t suggesting force weaning him if that’s what you were thinking. What I meant was encouraging him to eat more solid foods to help the process. Seeing if he will eat solid food for dinner instead of the baby food. But I’m not suggesting force weaning

Idk how old your bird is but if he is over 1yr then you need to wean him off formula.

Sorry if I misinterpreted you, but it was hard to get anything else from this statement by you.

You are right I did write that wrong it does sound forceful but now I can’t edit it
