Hi guys!
My name is Day, and I have a double violet Indian Ring Neck named Anzu. I’ve had him for almost two weeks now, and he is still being hand fed. He’s 8 weeks old. I feed him every 3 hours. I watch/feel his crop, and stop feeding him when he refuses more food. I’ve been introducing him to fresh fruits and veggies recently as well. He’s had some mashed up sweet potatoes, peppers and apples so far.
I’ve had other birds before, but never an IRN, and never a baby. So I’m EXTREMELY paranoid with him. I took him in to a vet three days after I got him, just to get his first check up. Everything was good, weight was good and the vet gave me a lot of good tips/articles advice to read over.
This is my concern/question: over the last few days, while I feed him, he makes this squeaking noise. Because I don’t know what it means, it FREAKS me out. I’ve watched IRN noise videos, just to see if I can place the noise, but I haven’t been able to. At first I thought maybe his food wasn’t prepared correctly, and then me being me, I went to the worst possible scenario which is crop burn. Not that either. I follow the formula instructions to a T (I use a thermometer and everything). Has anyone heard this sound? Should I be concerned? I’ll leave a video here as well.
PS,
Yes, he’s messy in the video. Don’t worry. He had just gotten done eating, and he got a bath after this.
