In this video we will review hand feeding baby cockatiels from a baby that's only a few hours old to other babies that are up to 2 weeks old. I will also review making the hand formula and what temperatures that hand formula should be.

  • This is a excellent video for anyone that wants or needs to hand feed baby Cockatiels. I did it this way and used the same formula. This breeder is very experienced . I'm going to bookmark this video and pass it on to others that are struggling with hand feeding.

    • To be honest I personally think babybirds are cuter than most human babies. We had some Babycanaries when I was a kid. And it was just great watching them getting older. I don‘t know why but for me babybirds are so cute and beautiful while the most human babies are just ugly for me.

I can't even imagine what some people find ugly about human babies, and frankly I don't want to, because that kind of talk nearly always gets into misanthropy. Also, baby birds look like monsters.

Years ago I gave my beautiful Latino cockatiel tap water and it got Trichomoniasis infection and ended up passing away. The avian Dr told me it was from the tap water. I've owned and raised cockatiels for 41 years now. Great video!

Just FYI, as a former vet tech & an ICU employee 120 degree water is not warm enough to kill most bacteria. Obviously you need it warm as It would be warm coming out of the parent. You would have to boil the water to get it warm enough to kill bacteria. The momma bird actually is not sterile so you are doing everything great. I really appreciate this video.

My avian vet (Sydney, Australia) insists that cockatiels only drink and bathe in bottled / boiled or filtered water to avoid getting giardiasis. But I’ve not found any reference to this need anywhere 🤷‍♀️ So of course to be on the safe side I get those heavy 10 litre vessels 😂 Glad I’ve found your channel 🥳

I use the same incubator you have them in for about as a brooder after they hatch and then switch them over to a plastic shoe box heat pad brooder with a stuffed animal inside. I like. I like it more than the aquarium brooder is use to use. Mostly because of the cost and space it saves.

    • You're going to need to make some sort of makeshift brooder that will hold heat. My suggestion for you is something you can put the birds in and then possibly put a heating pad underneath that. You're going to need to monitor this with a temperature gauge. We don't want to overheat them but we don't want them to get chilled either there's a fine line. When they're first hatched and bare skin they need to be around 95 to 98° F. Keep me posted if you have questions. And thank you for the kind words and watching our videos. Kevin

  • Great video, not only in terms of the quality of the content, but also clear and in focus with great lighting. Years ago my sister called me to tell me a baby lovebird was rejected. I told her I would take care of it and I had zero experience. I used a fish tank, a water heater and a deep bowl and I let him float on that water in that slightly covered tank to build up the right warmth and humidity. I fed that baby around the clock and by some miracle he lived and he grew up with the most beautiful rainbow colors. Sadly my wife did not want another bird in the house and so I placed an ad to have him adopted. The requirement was that that they already own a lovebird and they bring it to my home. Well my little bird was a genius! We placed the caged side my side and my bird which had never interacted with another bird before went into the female's cage and plucked a single seed out of her food cup and proceeded to climb up to her perch and very slowly made his way closer and closer to her until he could reach over to her and give her the seed which she accepted. Everyone's eyes had welled up with tears and the girl kept in touch with my for many years until one day sadly rainbow clung to her purse and she did not notice him and he got lost. There was a sighting on facebook and I tried contacting the person who posted a photo of an exhausted looking rainbow sitting on the sideview mirror of his car but sadly the person never responded to my messages. I just wanted to know the vicinity of where the bird had been spotted so I could search for him. Still hurts.

So, the mixture should be on the thin side. you may have to feed them more often, but they need the water. Runny applesauce.... If you think its to thick... go thiner...it will not hurt. Great question...I'm going to do a video on this. Thanks Kevin.

  • I always use an eye dropper on newly hatched because the end is so much smaller and easier to get inside their mouths. Also,i put a bowl of hot water underneath the cup holding the formula to keep it warm while feeding. Sort of like a double boiler set-up. How are you keeping the formula from getting too chilled ? I feed slower too. How do you get sponsors for formula and other supplies from the pet supply companies?

    • Keep doing what you're doing. You're doing awesome. You have a few more weeks before you need to start the weening process. At that point you need to slowly introduce the chick to.... I recommend pellets. But some feed seed. If you can win your bird to pellets right away it's the best thing for the bird. It gets a hundred percent of its nutrition and vitamins that it needs from a good quality pellet food. Seed only will not give you a hundred percent of the nutrition that the bird needs. Wow seed will keep a bird alive it again does not get all of the vitamins and nutrition that it needs. When birds are small they're easier to wean to pellets. All of our birds get weaned to pellets.

    @allandavis6116@allandavis61162 жыл бұрын
    • Thanks for watching our videos. We have a lot of videos on feeding babies I think would answer some of your questions. The 85° is low for a newborn. Our incubators to hatch an egg are set at approximately 98° F for the first few days sometimes up to a week we keep the babies at that temperature. Then slowly start working the temperature down. The goal here is to wean the birds off of the temperature and get them to room temperature at the same time they are completely feathered. Once they're completely feathered we should have them wean down to room temperature so they could sit in a cage. Feeding is going to depend on each bird. A bird's crop needs to go empty once a day. We only let our birds crop go empty once a day. Therefore, we watch the babies crops once we see them almost empty we top them off with hand feeding formula. For some babies that's an hour for other babies it's 3 hours. It all depends on each individual baby. Again we only let our babies crop go empty once a day. And that once a day is important. We need to move 100% of the hand feeding formula out of the bird by a certain time. if that hand feeding formula stays in the crop and the crop never goes completely empty you run a chance of that formula becoming sour. Once that happens a yeast infection will happen and your bird will go downhill quickly.

At newly hatched, do you allow their crop to clear at night, or feed every two hours without letting it completely clear? Thank you in advance. I've never been more nervous in my life.

I actually would like to ask you another question involving food. I'm using the same brand you are (noted the back of the canister in your video haha), and I was wondering this: IF the food is going to stay at say, 120F for a prolonged amount of time, would it be okay to pre-make some for a trip that can not be avoided, but will have no amenities along the way? I have planned out how to wash and sterilize utensils and brooder situation, but this is where I'm stuck. What would you do? The trip is NEXT Saturday, the 4th. I don't like having to take baby with me, but it's a trip I can not get out of and I don't have anyone who is comfortable enough to hand feed.
