OK so I was talking to a few people and also searching the internet but there are quite a few different infos that I am getting... from 3cc x 3 times a day to 10 cc x 5 times a day...

I tried searching the forum but did not see a chart or anything like that here, I think it will be a really handy piece of info for new members...

I thought I should ask the Pros here... What do you guys say?

Thanks

I read through your post a few times, but I must say I'm slightly confused. I'm not sure exactly what question it is you're asking. Are you asking about hand feeding or about a chart about hand feeding?

How many times do I have to handfeed GCC babies that are 3 weeks old and what is the quantity per feeding??? How many ML or CC per feeding and how many times a day...

The hand feeding formula you are using should have instructions on it. At three weeks its generally 3 feedings a day, and how much is given is based on how much the babies weigh, and you feed roughly 12% of what they weigh. Their crops should appear full after feeding. Here is an article I found on google very easily, the first result. I have also handfed baby cockatiels and a conure and have found this advice to be true.
