Guys I hate what I have to do to Striga! He flails and bites me, I deserve the bites though.
I wrap him in a towel to make it easier but he still hates it.
His feathers around his mouth are stained pink. A few minutes after I gave him some millet and he ate it without hesitation, same thing yesterday too.
I do t think I could train him to drink it without restraint, it’s just too much liquid.
I could for Tony or Tom though.

Still eating great though!

Awe :( I would feel bad too but you're doing what is best for him! It's only temporary. I hope he gets well very soon.

I have been working on syringe training Ona. It works but I'm not confident that it would work with actual medicine. Who knows.

I know, I’m trying to remember that.
They mixed it with cherry flavor, I know it it were Tom he’d love it!
Have you seen FlockTalks channel on YouTube? She just released a video on syringe training her conure.

I'll have to check it out! I watched one from "Bird Nerd Sophie" previously. I love bird training videos.
