The bird is about one week old and was abandoned by the mother bird.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to feed it and or keep it alive?

Cat brought the bird back! HELP?
Okay, she brought the SAME chick back after I used your advice to let it go, this is 10 hours after I let it go. It’s now bleeding, it’s leg looks crippled etc. I’m going to try and feed it, but I’m really asking for help here, thanks!

Baby Bird Help?
I found a baby bird and have tried to call local places but cannot find anyone at this time that would take it, so now I would like to know what should I feed it, how often and how much…this bird is able to stand and hop has feathers but cannot fly yet and is still a little unsteady at times. the birds size full grown is bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a pigeon. not sure of the breed yet.

How many pellets do 3 month old cockatiels eat a day?
I got a new cockatiel for 4 days now. he hasnt eatten much unless i feed him by my hand and take him out of his cage. he always goes for the seeds that are mixed with the pellets. he’ll eat those first then he’ll eat the peppers. but once thats done, he wont touch the pellets. but how many should he be eatting on average. and please dont say it depends because i asked his vet and he said the same and i asked the breeder and she said the same. i just need an average because im a new bird owner and dont know. like around 5-10 pellets a day? 10-20? 30-40? 50-60? 100-120? please help! i’m afraid my bird isnt eatting much.
any experts in bird hand feeding?
i bought a young cag who was still being handfed by his breeder. he is 3 months old and on 3 feedings. the bastard breeder told me he has a family emergency and was leaving the state inmediately, so i either took my bird and learned to handfeed or waited till he settled and he would return half my money. needless to say i took my baby home and im handfeeding him as i was instructed, when he is full he wipes his beak, refuses food and flies away to his cage(which im quite impressed by) or sometimes i put him back, but not too long has passed and he cries for us, is he still hungry or what is it? i also give him fuits, veggies, cheerios and millet spray which he squashes and sort of eats, but why does he still cry? it breaks my heart to hear him and i never refuse him food. we all kiss and play with him, what should i do for him? the breeder actually did leave, but i dont want to see my baby cry. thanks for any help.
he hasnt lost weight, he is not lethargic he actually will fly to us if in the mood. his crop is full also, but how do i cut the middle feeding? wont he cry more? i was told not to refuse him food, so how do i wean him? im not frustrated but afraid for him. he seems well, i have had him 1 week and so far so good. he is sweet and friendly even to the kids, our only issue is that he likes climbing heads-lol- he loves to be on top of his cage, but it just scares me when he cries so much. my hats off to all you handfeeders, it certainly takes ba11s to do this.
