Well I enjoyed your video. But, I was wondering if you could tell me if their getting fed every 2 hrs around the clock. And how much do they require per feeding please let me know thanx.
My girlfriend in the vid was not grabbing the baby by the neck. She was properly supporting the chick's head gently. No worry. We ain't pro but dedicated breeders :)
The whole handfeeding process should never take more than 5 min. If you just started out taking between 5 to 8 min is okay at first! Rushed or slow depends on the chick's head bobbing rhytm. Basically the faster it bobs the faster you feed and vice versa.
I don't know, but there doesn't seem to be much love there in the hand feeding... I'm going to be hand feeding a baby cockatiel in about 2 weeks, and I was thinking of the syringe method, but I think I might go with a more natural way. Despite the fact that it looks to be rather rushed feeding, it looks like everything is under control and sanitary...
I been doing this(handraising parrot chicks) for 10+ years since I was a kid so believe me I know what I'm doing :) This might look rushed to most but let me tell y'all this is the slow-mo version just to make the video clip more "viewable". In real life when we have a dozen or more chicks waiting to be fed we actually usually tube-feed or force-feed them which is at least 2X faster than the method you see here. Trust me we love every single one of them and nothing is ever rushed.
Wow that was fast haha.

Do you known how many months can the green cheeked conures breed from babies to adult?

They can start mating/breeding at as soon as 8 months old. But I would say they're usually sexually mature at 10 to 14 months.
