my indian ringneck won't eat....help!!!

Post by avinash »

I have a 6-7 week old ringneck. I've had him for 4 weeks but he suddenly refuses to eat his formula,he has a few bites of sliced apple but I'm worried that he's starving. He also started flying 2 days ago. Any help will be much appreciated

Perhaps he has gone off that, try seeds for awhile

I'm moving this to the breeders section as they will be most equipped to help you.

Did you try tube feeding? I don't especially like it, but my baby bird refused to eat food when I bought him (or maybe he was confused, I dunno) so I had to use tube feeding. I wouldn't call it force feeding, because they don't struggle or squawk or anything, but I only use it as a last resort since I don't want to cause unnecessary stress.

Also, try a vet. He might have a sickness and the symptoms might not all have shown up yet.
I wish you and your bird all the best :)
