Hi Ronny. I've cared for baby wild birds, but have never had a parrot that young. I can point you to some articles on the main site that should help: www.quakerparrots.com/handfeeding/It's probably not critical but it might be useful to nail down her age a little. There's a big difference between 2 and 3 months at this stage. Quakers usually wean between 8 and 10 weeks, but it isn't necessarily a problem if she's a little late. She probably is at a point where two hand feedings will be okay, if she's starting to eat solid foods, too. My personal feeling is you feed them when they're hungry, and let them decide when they're ready to wean. Good luck with her. People here are very happy to help you when you have questions, so fire away! |

Welcome to you and your baby QP!  I have no experience with handfeeding or weaning a baby parrot, and have no advice to offer, other than to suggest reading the article that easttex pointed out to you. |

Welcome to the forum. Sorry but I have never had to hand feed a baby Quaker. Best of luck and let us know how things come along.
