Gavage Feeding

Post by jose »

My parrot chick is about 45 days old now. Since he was fed by Gavage Feeding method by the breeder, i have to feed it by putting all the food in the beak. It will eat anything as long as it is put in the beak. it does not know that it can bite a piece of fruit or chew it. It just swallows what ever it is feed. how do I make it learn to eat food by itself.

i used to hang a piece of fruit ( i prefer apple), a fresh corn on cob and spray millet in his cage everyday.
so the chick plays with them and start to learn how to eat .
