I'm Teaching a young man...

[Niteldy]

I am currently teaching a young man the "How Tos" of cockatiel baby care. I told him he needed to join this site and I hope he does.
His name is Ethon, hes smart and catches on fast! Today he got to feed a 4 week old chick. He will be breeding his own tiels soon.
So a BIG WELCOME to Ethon. !!_ meet all my tiels and the ones I have in the intensive care for babies!! + 13 in my care!!!

Welcome! Baby birds are so adorable, fun, and irresistible!
However, especially for the inexperienced, feeding baby birds isn't easy and a lot of chicks die from mistakes in hand feeding. I've hand fed several budgies from hatching and the most important advice I always give is to feed with a spoon not a syringe. With a syringe it's too easy to fill the baby's mouth too quickly, causing the baby to aspirate the formula and die within a day or two. I hope Ethan takes my advice.

I'm such a sucker for baby tiels. They are so gosh darn freaking CUTE! And if Ethon is reading this, Hail and welcome!
