UNWEANED BABIES

 

To buy an UNWEANED (who cannot eat by itself) baby parrot, this is a very touchy topic for me and lots of my colleagues(friends), personally I do not agree and I do not sell unweaned babies at all to anyone.

 

We must put the interest of our baby parrot first.  The two most vulnerable times in a baby's life are at hatching and at weaning.

 

People think that hand feeding and weaning is the same thing but it is not.

 

Hand feeding is you feeding the baby with a syringe every 3 hours a day depending on old the baby is.

 

NOTE: the bigger the baby parrot it will take longer to wean from 9 weeks to 24 weeks in other words 2 months to 6 months.

 

Weaning is when the baby starts trying  to eat by himself but you still keep feeding him to make sure he is getting his nutrition till the baby will start to eat by himself (weaned).

 

People think that by hand feeding the

baby parrot he will be bonded to us, bonding is something which occurs slowly, bonding with a parrot depends on the friendship that develops, not who  holds the syringe.

 

Hand feeding is very rewarding, but it is an art that requires time and care from the hand feeder.

 

Most of the time the customers  are not given written instructions or even a hand feeding demonstration, they are told that hand feeding is very easy and nothing goes wrong.

 

However, inexperienced hand feeders are not able to recognize problems before serious damage occurs or even death,  you will often find bacterial and yeast infections, crop burns, crop stasis, and many other problems; but the worst of all to find is a perfectly healthy baby that died of starvation because the amount to feed and the number of times a day to feed  was not available to the new hand feeder.

 

I want to encourage the practice of buying only weaned babies, we love our parrot babies ♥

 

I hope this information is enough for you all
