Hi and so very sorry your baby ringneck passed away. Feeding and weaning baby parrots is difficult to do correctly and the baby suffers, as your has. Baby parrot formula has instructions on the back of the container about the amount to mix with CLEAN water. not to thick , not too thin. Very important is to have it at the correct temperature as it is being fed to the baby. Too cold, the crop will not digest it, too hot and you burn the baby's crop. The container should also have the temperature. It is around 105 degrees F. Best checked with a thermometer. To feed new born babies, use a sryinge and the formula needs to be thinner to use that. after they get bigger, you can use a small spoon with the side edges bent up to give them the formula, and it can be thicker (less water).

But - feeding and weaning baby parrots is not something an untrained person should do. Mant things can go wrong, from dirty water and utensils, wrong temperature, the food goes down the wrong pipe, not enough food or too much and lots of other things. You should try to buy a weaned baby - it is the breeders responsibiity.

Currently I have none, but I have the capacity to adopt a minimum and maximum of two budgies - preferably a bonded pair or two males.

Hi Sohali Shah

Sorry to know about the death of your baby parrot.

I presume you are from India. May I know which part ? Where did you procure your bird from?

Hi, I’m
Sorry you baby has died. I’m having trouble linking the thread but please read the thread called “so you bought an unweaned baby” and that will explain why your baby bird has died.
