#28 Basics in Hand Rearing / Hand Feeding Baby Birds (video post)

A video found on YouTube showing the hand rearing of a baby bird including dealing with a compacted sour crop. This is a baby Galah - very close to the size of a Cockatiel. This procedure is the same for most birds of this size including English Budgies, Parrotlets, Linnies, Lovebirds and Cockatiels.  I follow this same procedure except for the power feeding, I continue to feed the baby with the syringe until the baby is weaned. I do not tube feed (power feed) = using a tube to force food directly into the birds crop. Many experienced breeders do this, However I personally believe my babies turn out better if I spend the time feeding them slowly with only the syringe. If done correctly both ways are however safe.

My little babies are looking for "Forever Homes"
Each baby is very special to me.
PLEASE - No Spontaneous Buying.
Please take the time to think about your purchase.
Talk it over with your family before you proceed.

These babies will fall in love with you after only a few days.
It is heart breaking and very hard on them to be passed around to different owners. Please try to give them "forever homes"

Many parrots are looking for homes, Contact a rescue center today!
