Hi there all.
I'm a brand new Quaker mummy. Marley is approx 4 weeks old and we have had her/him for 1 week today. Up until today she has been eating really well. Three hand fed formula meals of up to 17g. This morning however she is not interested. Should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance 😊

I don't have any experience with such a young parrot or with handfeeding. Maybe Marley's breeder could offer some advice. If you've already established a relationship with a veterinarian who will be caring for Marley, it would probably be helpful to talk to him/her.

But I do want to say welcome to the Forum and I hope you are able to work out the issues your baby is having.
