    Feeding 8wk old SC cockatoo

    Hi there, I am adopting an 8wk old SC cockatoo and wanting to know the ideal frequency and volume at which a commercial formula+probiotic should be fed? The current owner says the bird has about 50-60mL of this 5 to 6 times a day but this seems an awful lot to me? Thanks, Grace
