If you have parrot chicks that need to be fed, please refer to the following feeding tutorials:


1. Feeding method:

   - Newly born chicks need to be raised in a warm, quiet, dry and clean place. They need a warm environment with the lights on 24 hours a day and a temperature of about 30 degrees to adapt to the environment in which they grow in a warm parrot nest.


2. Food and feeding frequency:

   - Parrot chicks initially need to be fed bird digestive enzymes and egg whites. You can make some homemade bird rice, adding some sugar and protein according to the nutrients required by the baby bird, or you can buy a nutritious diet formula specially provided for parrot chicks. Be careful to avoid irritating foods such as coffee, chocolate, etc. The chicks need to be fed every 2-3 hours, and need to be fed to about 1/3-1/2 of their body weight per day. After the body develops to a certain level, the number of meals can be gradually reduced.


3. Feeding method:

   - Be careful when feeding to avoid mouth and nose friction and suffocation. When feeding, you can use a pointed rod, plastic or rubber syringe to guide the food down the mouth and into the stomach. At the same time, you can also put food on a spoon, put the spoon near the chick's mouth, and let the chick bite and pick up the food by itself.


4. Drinking water:

   - Drinking fountains need to be placed in the breeding environment, and the drinking water needs to be changed regularly to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. At the same time, pay attention to whether the birds have started drinking water on their own or eating in a controlled manner.


It should be noted that the feeding of parrot chicks, especially in terms of nutritious diet, drinking water, temperature and hygiene, needs to be based on the advice of professional breeders and animal veterinarians to avoid unnecessary problems and risks.
