I killed a baby cockatiel tonight , i was crop feeding and then it just went.
I feel so lost, he was so gorguz and friendly.
I feel like i never want to handfeed a bird again

aaawwwwwwwww im so sorry sheena i know how you feel i lost skeets sibling eilish while i was handrearing her
hugs

Thanks Bec,
the breeder told me everyone looses some but it doesnt make you feel any better about it.
Someone told me its easier to handraise cockatiels that ringnecks but there so wrong!
Ringnecks just sit there and the tiels move around

ive only ever fed the irns
so i couldnt tell you for sure but the natural pigginess of irns sure
makes it seem easier than what ive been told

i was crop feeding and he wiggled. My baby irn just sit there until his full lol

yep nothing gets in the way of an irn getting a full crop!!!

Sorry about your poor baby tiel

Always heartbreaking when one doesn't make it for whatever reason.

so true!!!:(

Have you guys every killed one?

No, have had a couple of nest deaths though

They suck aswell!
Iv only lost one IRN, and one english budgie to nest deaths, but its heartbreaking

so sorry that you had to go through this. Having grown up on farms we were taught from a young age that things happen especially with baby animals. It doesnt make it any easier though. I havent personally lost any like that .
When you say crop feeding is that with a tube? or something or is it just what you call hand feeding? just curious to know. It is totally different with ringnecks and alex's, they are totally focussed on food and getting food.

I used a crop needle and put it down its throat
