Feeding Instructions: Feed the baby bird on a regular schedule each day and monitor its weight as it grows. Feeding intervals will vary based on species and age of the bird.
Newly hatched chicks: If fed a proper formula consistency, newly hatched chicks will empty their crops in one to two hours.
They should be fed every two hours to ensure they are hydrated and have adequate growth. Formula consistency should be one part Embrace formula to four parts water, approximately the consistency of a beaten egg.
Age four to 14 days: Over the next 10 days, thicken the formula every other day until it is the consistency of baby applesauce or one part Embrace formula to three parts water.
Age 14 days to weaning: After 14 days, the baby bird should be able to digest a formula with the consistency of thick applesauce or one part Embrace formula to two parts water.
The number of daily feedings required and the age of weaning will vary based on the species of the bird. For best results, carefully read the mixing and feeding instructions printed on the product bag. Consult an avian professional if you have questions about hand feeding.
At the end of the hand-feeding stage, slowly introduce the bird to ZuPreem AvianWeaning™ Diet.This diet helps provide a less stressful transition between hand feeding and the adult food cup.
Note: As an indicator of health, always monitor for changes in weight and body condition. Provide adequate amounts of food to maintain body condition, preventing excessive thinness or obesity.
