Yes, I have handfeed baby bird in the past. No not really force feeding, Just pushing him to do it more.. I am going to take him to the vet, I keep checking the temp and got a new temp so, now i use 2 of them. digital or meat one. He's never bobbed his head when he eats, Went to a local bird show today because I was told they have wonderful deals on toys and food.. to stock up on! and talked to a lady who breeds macaw 4 different types. Very helpful, but I'm thinking he's has slow crop, sour crop, yeast infection from the meds, and I'm hoping he'll be ok.. So we didn't feed him till 8.. it took almost 11 hours for his crop to go down.. That is not normal, I truly feel there is a underling issue going on.. Anything you can think to help him more please let me know.. Oh his poop looks normal and pee'ing too!
Thank you, New to Parrot Forum so looking forward to all the help we can get!! again vet tomorrow!
