Hand Feeding Babies!

Pionus Parrots are very Special.

We specialize in breeding several hand-fed Sub-species of Pionus: The Maximillian, Blue Headed, White Capped, Dusky, and the Bronze Winged.

There are several factors involved in hand feeding baby birds. This must be done quickly, at perfect formula temperatures for each and every baby. Air temperatures can also hinder digestion, and can create a slow crop / slow digestion. This can cause baby to starve. Or you can burn a hole in the baby's crop, and could aspirate the baby.

NOTE: Hand feeding baby birds is very dangerous. This should be done only by an experienced breeder. Never should someone try to hand feed a baby without having all emergency equipment.

Bird Stand Training

Once babies start to get some feathers on their chests. They must be left out of the cage. From 7:00 am to 11:00 PM or until the last formula feeding for the night.

This establishes a routine for all babies. You cannot deviate on your routine. As children, they may cry. If your baby was not raised on a Bird Stand, and trained to stay on it. Then most likely he/she may never stay on a Bird Stand. Other birds can motivate your baby to do so.

A Bird Stand is a must have for a well rounded family member. If you do not want to look over your shoulders wondering where baby is, or if a guest is being bitten: (

Birds can be very defensive on their cages. So avoid surrendering your Alpha position by not doing so, IMO.
