Cockatiel baby

My one month cockatiel baby is not taking feed….not eating anything. Pls suggest.

Hi ,

I’m very sorry to hear this. The best thing to do is take him to an Avian Vet as soon as possible. It’s not a good sign when a chick stops accepting food. Do not try to force feed it – he can get food in his lungs and that is really bad. Hopefully the Vet is able to help him. Keep him warm and quiet until you can get him to the Vet.

Take care,

Brenda
