Have you handfed a baby bird before?

did the man show you how to do it ? my gcc was my first hand feeding but i spent a whole day at my breeder learning how.
When handfeeding your going to warm the water to 120 degree's F, then mix in the forumla and stir well, cool the formula to about 105 degrees F, never feed over 110 F. Your going to feed from the left side of the beak. Fill the crop till it's full, but do not stretch the crop, stretching the crop could lead to death
(thank you shannonh1984 of talk parrots)
if i can think of anything else i will post

Congratulations on your baby alex... They're good eaters... I fed my Max using a bend spoon for the first couple of weeks... I also gave him grated fruit and vegies as well as seed and pellets... It's important they have a selection of foods available in order to wean...
Alexandrines are the best parrots to have...

1664stan, you have made exactly the right choice in getting an Alexandrine! They are wonderful companions and will keep you interested and amused with their cleverness and funny antics. Oh, and of course, being seriously green they're among the very-most-beautiful of all birds. Do post some pics of your baby for us to drool over, won't you?
