The first answer to the Quora question:<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know but I would recommend joining one of the many parrot groups on Facebook. I would think he would be eating very often. When my eclectus was 5 months he would eat a meal and then 15 minutes later be hungry again!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that was helpful ~ not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Facebook groups are the absolute worse place for pet bird information.\u00a0If the information were ANY good we would not see 60% death by starvation of pet birds in the US.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been writing about, selling pet bird food\/supplies, and installing birdcages in human homes for almost 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

In answer to your question, my recommendation would be to continue hand feeding at least 3 times daily around the clock for at least 1 – 3 more months. you can use a commercial food like Higgins Worldly Cuisines which can be cooked and has a 2 oz microwave available as a bridge.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Moving forward a good commercial pet bird food like Higgins Safflower Gold which has seeds, fruit, nuts, and InTune pellets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeding cups should be left out around the clock.<\/span><\/p>\n

We supplement our (10) with fresh fruits and veggies introducing them at breakfast the removing them while refreshing food and vitamin water midday.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our 3 small (rescue) parrots get a treat prior to birdie bedtime when their full spectrum lights turn off via timers – the 7 budgies don’t get a bedtime treat but their lights are on a timer as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone gets fresh vitamin water every morning.<\/span><\/p>\n
