I hand fed a baby budgie from the egg and baby bird poo does look strange. But what I see from the photos is very normal. Their poo looks kinda like the formula you feed them. Their poops are much bigger than adult bird poops and soft and wet but not "diarrhea". I wouldn't worry about it. When your bird is weaned it's poops will look more "normal".
If the baby is still eating the hand feeding formula keep it up until it's eating on its own and rejects the hand feedings. He will wean when he's ready. Withholding hand feedings will just upset him and make him insecure.
The babies usually stop crying and fall asleep when they are full. They usually stop feeding when full. How much formula did the baby eat? How often are you feeding? Didn't the breeder give you any instructions? Have you ever fed baby parrots before? Have you been reading and watching videos about how to do this?
Hello sorry for the late reply, i searched on google how often do i need to feed the baby tiel and google said every 2-4 hours but The confusing thing is that the breeder told me to feed it in the morning, afternoon, evening and night, i did do research on how to feed the baby cockatiel but i still don’t understand about the crop thing, yes this is my first time taking care of a newborn baby parrot , i give the baby tiel 1 1/4 as the syringe attached
The younger the chick the more frequently it must be fed. At four weeks once every four hours should be enough if the chick is getting enough at each feeding. 1/4 of a 10 cc syringe isn't enough. A cockatiel chick four weeks old needs at least 5ml per feeding, maybe more. Baby birds that age eat a lot. Make sure the formula isn't too runny or the chick will be getting mostly water.
I'm pretty worried about your baby cockatiel. Please let me know if you have increased the feeding volume. The baby should not be begging after feeding. They usually stop when full. Sometimes they overeat and that's bad but as long as their crop is full but soft it's not too full. Hold the baby halfway through feeding and after feeding and gently feel the crop. Watch the temp of the formula. Between 98 and 105 is good at this age.
That's good. Don't ever push him to take more but he should refuse when he's finished.
After finished feeding him, he will make like squeaking noise like hanster noise or sometime just be silent for a while, yesterday i saw him biting his leg a lot of times, is that normal or is that an infection?
How does his leg look? Can you take your baby to a bird vet for a check up? I think it's very important to do this especially since you see to be pretty new at this.
I don't think I ever asked how old this baby cockatiel is. Please post a few photos.
Whatever you do, don't squirt the formula into baby's mouth quickly or the baby can inhale it and die. I fact I would ditch the syringe and feed him from a teaspoon, letting him take as much formula as he wants at his own pace. When I handfed my budgie from an egg I never used a syringe- he fed from a small teaspoon from day one because I was afraid he would inhale and choke. He did great with spoon feeding. It was a bit messy but I cleaned him up with a warm baby wipes after eating and made sure his bum was clean too.
Nibbling on feet and feathers is normal grooming as long as there are no sores. He learning to groom himself. Give your baby lots of affection and head scratches. He's still got itchy pinfeathers and he will appreciate it. He looks to be about six weeks. Has he been trying to feed himself at all, picking at tiny pellets or millet? You should put some in his "home" which is what? A box? A cage? Does he perch yet? Has he tried to fly?
I seriously doubt a budgie would die from expired medicine. They're usually a pretty long margin of error built in
