How much increse in feed of a baby conure?

chillfill · May 16, 2014

Hi, I bought KEDDY (my first ever parrot) last week, he was 3 weeks old then. Seller told me to feed him 15 ml three times a day. Things went smooth for 5 days, then I thought as he is growing he probably needs more food so I contacted the seller again to confirm and he told me to start giving Keddy 20ml in each feed.
I was wondering as to how much amount should I increase and after how many days?
Please feel free to give any extra advice.

A lot of this should be helpful! I only hand raised cockatiels so a little different but you gradually increase amount according to weight while reducing feedings. I'm not sure weaning schedule for a sun though so hopefully someone with sun experience can tell you. I think they are pretty close to the cockatiel schedule though. The second link is the schedule I followed though the baby really is the one who tells you how it's going to go in the end. My one tiel weaned a week or so before the other one. Don't follow the cc amounts you need to weigh the baby and feed amount according to I believe it's 12 percent of body weight. Your best bet is an avian vet to help you out and make sure you are doing everything correctly.
