This is my son,My baby,My sweetheart，My everything...
I never raise a parrot befor.But I can feeding him.
I got him form a stranger.He sold to me.He said my baby parrot 10 weeks old. It was sunday ,2 days ago.
I did't check carefully.
Right now I found my baby's crop area and abdomen area without featers coverd!!!! Looks triible. As a 10 weeks parrot is that normal???
An other question is he just very quite,Sometimes it sounds a bit.very very less moving.he can just stand there 2 hours without move.or he just move a quite few area a day.


My baby parrot had breakfast at 11 o'clock yesterday and dinner at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. 65cc parrot food each time. His crop was not empty at 2 am today. He pulled 8 or 9 times this morning from 8.30 to 10.30. After about half an hour from 10.30, there was no pulling, and the crop was flat. I feed him.

What I know about feeding babies is that there crop should be allowed to empty once a day.

Other than that I would recommend experienced help. taking care of unweened birds is something best done by experts.

I know you are doing the best you can. I am not trying to run down your efforts to save this little beauty. I thank you for you helping him. But you need professional help.

Coul you give me more information?
Like witch kind professional help?
I juest never know raise a baby parrot is a Stupid decision
But I will try my best to raise him. I build a big box for him. Inside the box he has a nest.the nest just a little bigger than him. Close the nest I live a thermometer there. It's show me the temperature and humidity. And I setup a Heating lamp up of the vox and nest. I put a heating pad under the box. All the thing I done juest for keep the temperature around 80.
I know how to feeding him.I use the 65cc syringe feeding him twice a day. If after feeding 6、7 hours his crop empty, I will give hime one more time feedibg. So some times I feeding him 3 times a day.

I use my finger to tuch or see his crop, if I feel not too big or close to flat, I can say his crop empty now.

By professional help the best thing would be a breeder near you.
It sounds like you are doing a good job.
You don't want to heat him/her up to much. a heat lamp is not ideal. A brood box is what is best.

In My Opinion (and it's only my opinion) he looks like he has enough feathers on him he should be able to regulate his body temperature with minimal help.

I have raised 2 clutches of Cockatiels and was forced to separate the babies from the parents because the adults were pulling feathers off the babies.

I was not prepared for this and had to make my own brood box. You can find instructions for that on good old youTube but you must use UTMOST caution to monitor temperature.

My brood box was a Tuperware type box with a folded up towel inside and a heating pad set on low OUTSIDE and underneath one end of the box.
But I got very little sleep for a while getting up every 2 hours to check on them.

If you can't find a breeder a certified avian vet can give you a lot of help.
You should take your little angel to see the vet in any case to make sure his is doing well.

Oh almost forgot. Measure his weight every day in the morning with a gram capable scale. Very important to track his growth.

Welcome to you and your beautiful amazon! Wish I had some personal advice, but what was posted so far is excellent. You definitely need assistance from a breeder, avian vet, or other knowledgeable person.

I would also suggest creating a new thread in the Breeding/Raising Parrots forum: Breeding/Raising Parrots - Parrot Forum - Parrot Owner's Community Make it a bit different than your original post here to avoid "cross (double) posting." Or, if you like, I can move this entire thread to that location. Your choice, send me a PM if you wish.

As far as a name is concerned, perhaps something in Chinese that best describes your beautiful bird!

Okay, so what specie of parrot is your baby? At 10 weeks-old, most species are weaning onto solid food at that point...But the major reason why baby parrots who are being handfed formula become sick is because the formula is not being kept between an exact 104 degreesF to 110 degrees F all the time with a cooking thermometer...If it's even one degree below 104 degrees F they develop a horrible Yeast infection in their crops; if it's even 1 degree above 110 degrees F it will cause burns to their crop...But typically the issue is that the formula is too cold, which causes a Yeast infection, which will eventually kill them without a Certified Avian Vet prescribing the correct Anti-Fungal medication after doing a test to ensure that it is a yeast infection...

Have you been using a candy/cooking thermometer every time to make sure the formula is within that temperature range? If not you need to get one at Walmart for $15-$20, with a metal-probe on it in the kitchen department, and make sure you keep it in the formula at all times...At 10 weeks he should have most of his outer-feathers, so the ambient-temperature he's being kept in shouldn't matters any longer, as he should be in his first weaning-cage. But the formula temperature is the most important aspect of hand-feeding a bird...

If he is still lethargic, not moving around, sleeping a lot, vomits, has droppings with bubbles in them or that is very runny or loose, etc., then he needs an Avian Vet immediately...

I do know an experienced breeder in Lis Angeles (I live a couple of hours away). I have purchased all my fids from him, including SassyByrd. If you still need help let me know and I’ll hunt down his information. He taught me to finish up my Suns with a fair amount of confidence. He has spent many hours with me both at his home and over the phone. English is his second language but we managed. Good luck! -Jen
