How to clean my Alexandrine baby

[Intisar]

Hi every one,
My Alexandrine baby named HEERO is 26 days old today,
I put him on bed and find me out of 2 or 3 ppl and starts walking towards me.
Some times few drops of feed come out go into his small feathers, I clean him with tissue or some soft cloth.

But some of his feed stocked with him and become solid, u can see in picture.
How to clean him in detail??
I will appreciate your guidance.

Maybe use a dampened cloth or tissue? but not those baby wipes which are scented.

Also welcome to the forum!​

Sorry! I think it's posting timings - sometimes the North Americans are at work and us in the Eastern Hemisphere (looking at you Aussies too) are sleeping You posted at 2am my time.. If that ever happens again, you can just type "bump" and everyone will understand you're bringing the thread to the top for attention

From my incredibly, unbelievably limited experience:
Immediately when he's done eating, take a slightly wet towel and wipe him down. You should get it off him before it starts to solidify, and formula does solidify quickly! If you feed him while matching his feeding response (the head bobbing), that'll help avoid some of the mess.

An actual experienced breeder will no doubt be by to help

Just a damp cloth (not too cold or too hot water) and no swiping/wiping, just light patting wil do the trick.


(not meant as a personall attack, just venting, but why do people still sell/ buy unweaned babybirds?)
