Fledged yesterday. One still learning how to fly and crashing into things. I am calling that one CRASH CRADDOCK Dad is watching them all closely. Mum is laying a second clutch. I am also handraising four baby princess parrots ( three blues and one white ). The mother ( Blutack) decided to pluck them all so they were removed from her nest. They were put in another nest for awhile but arent being fed in there as that hen is laying an early second clutch with a baby still in the nest. So I am back to being mama of princess parrot babies.

How do you go with hand raising parrots, Ive never done it or tried. Our superb pair have their first baby for the season and I was wondering how you feed them? Off spoon, crop? Link to comment

How do you go with hand raising parrots, Ive never done it or tried. Our superb pair have their first baby for the season and I was wondering how you feed them? Off spoon, crop? I prefer parent raised to hand raised myself...........a whole lot less trouble. If the babies are young I begin by crop feeding and move onto a spoon later. The ones I have to feed right now are taking their dinner off a bent spoon. Edited November 6, 2010 by **KAZ** Link to comment

They are lots different to budgies lol Link to comment

He does it one drop at a time with reluctance and shakes his head to throw formula all around the place. I am nearly at the point of feeding him by crop needle but that wont teach him to eat. So he takes about 30 minutes to get half a crop full of food where they others take 5 mins for a full crop. I will be patient. Handraising isnt something I do because I choose to, its something I do because I have to Link to comment

She wanted a blue princess off us for herself so she got two and I am handraising the other two Ken is keeping. The white one ken calls ANGEL and the blue one I call STRETCH ( Stretch because its so big and tall and lanky ) . These are Velchro's babies. The white one was a nice surprise.....its worth a thousand dollars to sell but we are keeping her. Sunnie........its easier to feed and handraise parrots than it is to feed and handraise budgies I think anyway. m Here they are at dinner time. click for video click for video Edited November 10, 2010 by **KAZ** Link to comment

They have been named SUGAR for the white female and STRETCH for the blue. They love a cuddle.............as soon as they have had enough food off the spoon they climb up me for a cuddle by my neck.
