ernie, a yellow indian ringneck
i have a now 7 week old indian ringneck who is absolutely impossible when it comes to his feedings. he just learned how to fly last week and ever since i cannot manage to get him to sit still for a feeding, his 12am feeding seems to be the only one where heā€™ll cooperate enough to eat about 7.5 ml of formula. throughout the day he has fresh fruit and veggies and seed available to him, and i see him eat quite a bit of his seed, but iā€™m so crazily worried because he weighed 124 grams on monday and now he weighs 116. i called my avian vet and she said this is normal, and i shouldnā€™t worry as long as heā€™s eating the food offered in his cage throughout the day, but this is my first time owning such a young baby and iā€™m terrified of anything going wrong. i literally canā€™t get him to eat his formula until his nighttime feeding, is there anything i can do?
 
Sounds like you are doing it right. Keep offering formula 3x a day until he refuses it every time for 7 days in a row.
