Please refer to our website (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.hari.ca\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.hari.ca\u003c\/a\u003e) for additional technical resources on hand feeding techniques. Use a separate syringe for each clutch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace syringe tip slightly into left side of beak with one hand. Pressure should be placed on the beaks commissures with the fingers of the other hand and palm of hand held behind the head of chick, preventing the syringe to injure the mouth when chick will react with a feeding response. When bird gives feeding response (head pumping), start feeding and aim towards the back right side of the mouth. If you are not confident with syringe feeding, a spoon bent on either side can also be used. Close monitoring of chick response and respiration is essential to prevent aspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill crop without excess stretching. A daily weight monitoring and amount fed chart should be kept for health growth parameters and future reference. Allow crop to completely empty between feedings. A bent teaspoon may also be used to slowly drip food into beak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal feeding tubes are not recommended, as they can pierce the crop and esophagus, allowing food to leak out. Can be fed dry to lories, finches, canaries and other small species as food supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand feeding baby birds should only be done by someone trained and confident in proper technique. If there is any doubt, seek guidance from an experienced avian professional or avian veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEclectus Ark Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery purchase from Eclectus Ark helps support the daily care of our birds and our nonprofit conservation work.
