My baby cockateil is 6 months old and i still have to hand feed him. He eats a little bit of seeds, but he still cries for the bird formula. Is this normal?

Help! I need a formula recipe stat!! D:>?
I found a baby bird today and I attempted to feed him via a sryinge and mushy worms. He ate ok, but I don’t know how many more I’ll be able to find and he needs to eat every 2 hours. Does anyone have a quick formula recipe? There’s no chance of me getting to the store tonight so any help I could get would be awesome. Please help me.
what species of bird is this? and what should i do with it?
the tx. st. aquarium wont return my calls. i dont know what kind of bird this is. out of three baby birds, two have already died! i just wish i knew what to do. i’m giving her formula and letting her suck the water droplets from a sterile toothbrush ( i read thsi tip online) but what else should i do? she chirps, she bobs her head when she eats. her crop gets full and i dont feed her the special bird formula (for all birds it says) until it’s empty. but she chirps loudly when she wants to eat. but i have no idea when to introduce seeds, or how to keep her alive! please help!

What is a good formula to feed to a baby bird?

How to take care of a baby bird?
I found a baby bird who fell from his nest (way to high for me to put him back in) and I followed a recipe I found on Internet on how to feed him (boiled meet, grains, baby formula = blended) and I use a eye drop bottle to put it in his beak (it works great). Obviously after 3 days he’s trying to get out the big box I put him in. I don’t know how he will do out on his own (food wise). Do you think the SPCA will take him? (I call but they don’t answer) Thanks!
Feeding a baby cockatiel
I have 2 adult cockatiels, one male and one female. They mated and hatched 3 eggs. The mother will continue to sit on all her eggs, and the male will sit on his bunch of eggs, but every time one hatched, the mother pushed the baby out of the nest and won’t care for it no matter what I do. The first one and the third one died, so I’m caring for the second one myself. I have a nest in a box, a heat lamp and I’m feeding it every 1-2 hours with baby bird formula in a tiny dropper. It’s been doing just fine for about 4 days, it’s growing, getting stronger and eating the formula easier. My main concern about it is every time I feed it, it swallows a large amount of air and sits in it’s crop for a little while and makes a large bubble in the crop. It says on the formula container to feed the baby till it’s crop is filled with formula, but it gets half filled with air and half with formula. When it gets filled with air I’m afraid to feed it any more because I don’t know how much it’s little crop can hold. Is this air swallowing thing normal? Should I feed it more when it does that or keep doing what I’m doing? What should I do???
