Post: Need to know a few things

Posted by Kitty.J on 6/20/05

Hello all
Yes it is me typing againļ, but I truly want to be
prepared for my bird¡¦s sake, so I need to ask a few
questions. Some may say if you take proper care of your
birds nothing will happen but what if something did
happen? Or if I volunteer at this bird rescue and some
thing happens or whatever, I just want to know, its
knowledge I am interested in knowing. So what exactly
should I do if a bird gets sour crop? I heard applesauce
and pineapple juice work, how much should I feed and how
should I feed it? And also if I were to hand feed baby
birds shouldn¡¦t I add applesauce and pineapple juice to
their formula so nothing happens? Also is it the same with
slow crop? Also I did some research on splay legs, I read
somewhere you should tie something around the legs and
keep them in place and of course pull the baby so whatever
I tied around the baby¡¦s legs doesn¡¦t strangle the other
chicks. How long should I leave that ¡§tied thing¡¨ on the
baby bird? Thanks for reading this. Its just that I really
do wish to have this al down before I hand feed and I
already found a good information about hand feeding in my
cockatiel book, so that should help a lot too and my
knowledge on hand feeding finches. Sorry if I am becoming
a nuisance, it¡¦s just that I am seeking information and I
want to do what is right. And I want to seek advice from
experts rather than reading from an article or a book. Yes
the internet really does help and work. A lot of you have
some very good information to give others, that¡¦s why I
want to know. Thanks for reading all of this.
