I have used all three methods: Spoon, syringe in mouth, and tube feeding. To me, it depends on the bird. If it is taking food on it's own, I usually use the syringe. If the bird is refusing to eat, or doesn't enjoy the taste of the food, I usually tube feed, which bypasses the mouth and delivers food directly to the crop. This minimizes choking because it goes past the trachea.

Finches seem to do the best with spoon feeding, because they can control how much food they get.

What an adorable baby! I wish I had a baby one to feed - they are the cutest.

It's a baby lovebird. I haven't handled Cockatiels personally, but from what I've seen from fellow keepers, they're pretty much the same when it comes to handfeeding. Baby birds need to be fed round the clock.

Hi,

Is this a cockatiel? I have a baby bird...i don't know how much to feed it. It's hungry all the time. Suggestions?
