Baby cockatiel not growing


A friend gave me a 1 month and 1 day old cockatiel and it looks like a 3 day old cockatiel. It’s eating baby food for cocktails but dose it have a chance to live?


Answer:

Hi,

The best thing to do is take the chick to an avian vet to diagnose what is wrong with it.

Take care,

Brenda
