Hi guys!
My name is Day, and I have a double violet Indian Ring Neck named Anzu. Iāve had him for almost two weeks now, and he is still being hand fed. Heās 8 weeks old. I feed him every 3 hours. I watch/feel his crop, and stop feeding him when he refuses more food. Iāve been introducing him to fresh fruits and veggies recently as well. Heās had some mashed up sweet potatoes, peppers and apples so far.
Iāve had other birds before, but never an IRN, and never a baby. So Iām EXTREMELY paranoid with him. I took him in to a vet three days after I got him, just to get his first check up. Everything was good, weight was good and the vet gave me a lot of good tips/articles advice to read over.
This is my concern/question: over the last few days, while I feed him, he makes this squeaking noise. Because I donāt know what it means, it FREAKS me out. Iāve watched IRN noise videos, just to see if I can place the noise, but I havenāt been able to. At first I thought maybe his food wasnāt prepared correctly, and then me being me, I went to the worst possible scenario which is crop burn. Not that either. I follow the formula instructions to a T (I use a thermometer and everything). Has anyone heard this sound? Should I be concerned? Iāll leave a video here as well.
PS,
Yes, heās messy in the video. Donāt worry. He had just gotten done eating, and he got a bath after this.
